I take all the opportunities that come my way and I am thankful that I have them.
I'm a vale-tudo fighter.
I'm not a fighter to score points of fight with time limit.
GSP knows how to use a lot of strategy.
I like guys who can use strategy, not just tough guys.
GSP is at the top of my list in knowing how to use strategy, how to bring an opponent out of his game, how to beat a guy without taking a beating. And he's good in standup and good at grappling.
Demian Maia, I love the way he fights.
You have to know your opponent and take him out of his game.
If you trained jiu-jitsu his whole life, why would you trade punches on fight night against a striker?
It's always a pleasure to watch a Gracie winning. We were born fighting.
I could live on fruits.
I have such a big family, sometimes, I was wondering, when is it going to be my turn? There's always a brother who's older, younger, bigger, stronger, faster, I was like, 'hey, give me a chance guys.'
The main thing is strategy. It's not just come in and duke it out and fight.
OK, if he's a grappler, good for me, I know what to do. If he's a kickboxer, I gotta get in a clinch and move a certain way. If he's a karate man, he moves a different way, but I'm still going to have to clinch. So, a sumo wrestler, I have to clinch. It's just, how I get there, how I move it.
The UFC was my home and will always be my home. I helped creating and building that home.
You have tons of talents everywhere you go, so you can't be stuck to only one promotion.
I do jiu-jitsu my whole life, so why would I try to stand and bang with Mike Tyson? I'm going to learn boxing in six months because my opponent is good in boxing? That makes no sense.
Tim Kennedy is one of the toughest guys in my opinion.
I've trained boxing in the past to learn the distance, trained wrestling to understand how he would take me down, but I won't get there to fight my opponent's game.
I only sign one fight at a time.
