I breathe martial arts every day of my life.
Every night that I put my head on the pillow, I go to sleep knowing that I can do more. I'm working toward perfection. I'm trying to be the best ever.
I think every fight is different based on who is fighting.
I'm the best in the world; thank you, Jesus, for that.
I came from the bottom. Now I'm the main event and UFC champion.
I want to do that. That's my goal. I want to become a legend.
I want people to remember me as a guy who works hard.
I always trained hard in my life to win the title, and I will train twice as hard to stay at the top.
Every fight and every loss taught me something.
I'm the kind of guy who always pushes really hard.
I want to keep active, so when they called me to fight Nate Diaz, I agreed because I wanted to stay active. I got a little surprised because he was out so long, but he's a tough opponent.
God makes everything in perfect time, and he doesn't give you anything you can't handle.
I'm always the underdog, and I go in there and win the fights.
I'm a calm-headed fighter. I do my job.
I've learned that the key is to fight with no pressure.
When you put the pressure on yourself, it's not good. If you fight afraid to lose, you wind up not fighting that good.
Ever since I was 10 years old doing jiu-jitsu, I've done well against the tall guys.
A lot of fighters come from Brazil. We've been doing this for long, long years.
If I take two years off, I would want to fight as much as possible.
It was priceless. Being the UFC champion and having my kids in the Octagon, my wife, them holding the belt. That was like a movie.
