I like being the underdog. I like turning around and shutting people up when they tell me I can't.
Saving people, helping people, is just something I always wanted to do.
I've got a great team around me. They keep me working hard; they keep me focused.
The UFC has a great plan for us. I'm just happy I'm employed by them and can pay my house bills and everything.
I think everyone has knockout power. I mean, it's the heavyweight division.
I'm the world champ! I'm the world champ!
I've got the best coaches in the world. I've got confidence in them, and they've got confidence in me.
I'm from Cleveland. I love this place. I'm never going to leave.
It's up to the UFC. Whoever they put in front of me, I'll fight.
I just want to work hard and have good fights.
Every fight's like that. You try to break the guy's will.
I wouldn't want my corner throwing in the towel no matter what. I wouldn't want my corner to do that.
I am always going to be the same guy. The fireman that lives in Cleveland.
I had to work hard to keep up with my mom. That's where I learned it from. She's a freak.
I trained for about a year before I had my first amateur fight. I won by knockout, and then, for my second fight, the guy didn't even show up.
I love fighting. I love what I do.
Werdum's the champ for a reason. He's good at jiu jitsu; like he says, he's gotten better on his feet.
There is still so much room for me to get better. Everyone in this sport evolves so quickly. You could take six months off and come back to a totally different game. That's why I'm always in the gym working. Even if I don't have a fight lined up, I'm still in there working to improve my overall game.
It would be a dream if I was able to fight in Croatia.
Junior Dos Santos is one of the best heavyweight fighters of all time, and he has proven it by being a champion. That is something that I want to be in my career, and I understand to achieve that, I have to beat guys like him.
