I mean I love movement. I mean the energy that comes from the way I move. We get energy from how we move. I mean the control I get from knowing everything about how my body feels and how it is working.
{Losing can be a great motivator] but not if it drains your confidence. One of the reasons I got into this game was because I wanted to learn how to get myself comfortable in uncomfortable situations.
I've read a lot of books on the laws of attraction, and in my home I have a big book on Muhammad Ali, which I've read, because he is like a hero of mine, but other than that, no, I'm not a big reader.

Ask José Mourinho, he wouldn't know a thing about me, my sport - he knows football, and to get to high levels you have to be insane, nothing else means anything.
People do what they think works for them, but the sport is about instinct, movement, balance, power... it's too animalistic to get rigid about your training.

I have visualised my imagination so clearly and so consistently that it has manifested itself into my reality.
If you have a clear picture in your head of something that's going to happen... then nothing can stop it.
Seems like people get obsessed about times and numbers and weights and that - I'm obsessed with winning.
Boxing is going to have to catch up with the kind of things UFC is doing. They're getting left behind.
I pursue this dream and carry on. I don't dwell too much on the outside, I just focus on the inside.
At the end of the day you gotta feel some way. So why not feel unbeatable? Why not feel untouchable.
You can't enter a contest emotionally charged. It clouds your judgment, it clouds your reaction.
I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. Keep proving people wrong and proving myself right.
I try to eat healthy all the time. I don't eat takeaways. I drink mostly water or coconut water.
You can't fear success and I think a lot of people do... I'm not like that. I'm going for it.
It's important to stay hydrated - first thing I do in the morning is stretch and drink water.
Training to me isn't about a set time at the gym - I move at all times of the day and night.
Sometimes the truth hurts. It hurts because they have a weakness - and I exploit weakness.

There's only one thing that's impossible to beat... a man that doesn't give up.
Be spontaneous, be creative, go out and have fun, let things happen naturally.
One thing I believe that's a key to success is celebrate your surroundings.
Wherever it goes is my best position. Wherever it goes I am comfortable.
I'm definitely on the pursuit of perfection...I will always be learning.
An injury is not just a process of recovery it's a process of discovery.

Always be civil, but with a plan to neutralise everyone in the room.
I have never encountered a winner that held hate towards something.
Look out for those who look out for you. Loyalty is everything.
I move in many ways. I can adapt and overcome to any situation.
I keep having vivid dreams of success. Then it's time to sleep.
