I've been training like an Olympian.
Well, being my type of fighter and my type of guy, you know I throw a lot of barrage of punches, kicks, knees and elbows.
I might not always be given the respect that I should have, but it's what fuels me.
You put the pressure on this guy. You test his conditioning. You test the cardio. You test the heart, the will. That's how you beat RDA.
I never make the same mistake twice. If you catch me slipping one time, good for you, but it ain't gonna happen again.
I don't fight for anybody else besides myself and my family, so therefore I win.
I like to push my body to just extremity to get past the mental toughness barriers. So fighting at 145, that would be great. If Kenny Florian can do it, I can do it.
My fuel for my fire is to be able to provide for my family.
I'm not one to throw anybody under a bus, but check this out: I'll be the first one to step in front of it.
Wits always win, man, in the battle of brain versus brawn.
I'm tired of labels. This is my label right here: El Cucuy.
I'm the people's champ.
We all have to pay our bills. We all have to pay our taxes. Straight up.
The money will come to you, you've just got to keep winning.
I want to be a multi-division champ.
This is a man's sport. I fight.
I thought this was the UFC and we're supposed to be the best and toughest fighters in the world.
It's what you do after making a mistake - that's what I like to see. As long as you mature and grow with it, that's fine.
I'm looking for pound-for-pound list to be the best in the world and it takes belts to get there so let's get there.
I think I would pose a big threat at 145.
