When I get in there, everything gets blocked out. I just focus on the person in the cage with me. That's all my brain has room for at the time.
There's no ceiling... just a continuation of improvement.
The truth comes out... I think when you fight you find out who you are
The sky is the limit when you work hard.
The only reason I got into MMA was to be the best.
One of the big things that I focus on is not having regrets, just taking every opportunity I have and going for it.
Its about continuing to learn and being open-minded, don't ever think you know it all.
I won't be happy unless I finish Lyoto Machida.
I want to be undefeated for a while and end my career as one of the greatest of all-time.
I try to keep a positive attitude about everything.
I think any time you get beaten down and rise back up again, you become stronger.
I only train, I don't know what a break is.
I am always in the gym sparring. I look at every fight kind of like a sparring match.
Don't think OF your goals, think FROM them.
I never really ate greens, what I always did do was I always ate peanut butter and honey and I ate it all day. There's not much nutritional value in that. I just love peanut butter and I love honey so I just put them together.
I tried to take every little thing and use it as an advantage. People were asking me how it felt to be in the UFC, and I wasn’t thinking about that. All that mattered was Alessio Sakara. I had to win that fight. Even now I still haven’t got time to sit back. Again, this is a must win, must dominate, fight for me in my eyes, and I won’t be happy unless that’s the way it goes.
