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.
Power and speed aren't enough to overcome someone who is strategic, who knows what you'll do before you do it and can turn it on you; someone who is mentally engaged and combines the whole package.
Victorious. I feel that is why I did all the training, why I make the sacrifices, that is why I got into the shape I am in. I feel I have won, that's millions more coming my way, I feel great.
Golf isn't a sport, it's a game. I'm not saying it's not a difficult game, with lots of mental stuff. But it's not a sport like mine. Where is the combat, the intensity of what we do?
When I'm in there I'm just in my zone. What people think about when they're looking at me, that's their business. If there is a bit of that, I am fine with it, each to his own.
I don't feel negative emotions. I feel calm, composed and ready. And as it goes on I get better at it. By the time the fight is on, I don't feel any emotions at all.
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.

Nothing good ever comes from worrying or sitting there feeling sorry for yourself... Keep positive and keep pushing on and things will turn good.
I love my job. I whoop people for truckloads of cash. How could I hate this life? I love it so much. I'm grateful every single day.
There are people who have great skills, who do great things, but don't embody the whole animal that is the fight game like I do.
My diet is usually pretty consistent whether I'm training for a specific fight or not. I don't like to mess too much with it.
Getting enough protein is important when I train, to help build muscle and recover, so I'll supplement with protein shakes.
There's people that focus on the game and forget about the art. There's that specific special individual that can do both.
I love what I do... When I'm in there I don't want to be nowhere else in the world... I love this game more than anything.

If I could bust out and eat anything... if I ever stop fighting, I could put on some serious weight with sweets.
I believe in working harder and putting in the time - being completely obsessed. And, yeah, I think that's life.

Seems like people get obsessed about times and numbers and weights and that - I'm obsessed with winning.
