I do a very strict diet.

I grew up in Miami, Florida.

Nobody is taking my lunch money.

The bigger the fight, the better.

I've never pulled out of a fight.

My body of work speaks for itself.

I want to put money away in the bank.

I'm not a sock-em, rock-em type of guy.

A fight is usually longer than five seconds.

I've never tapped in my whole entire career.

I always cheer for my MMA brothers and sisters.

I'm here to compete and to keep beating people up.

That's the biggest act of cowardice, faking injuries.

I can box. I can hit hard. I've got different angles.

You don't spit on people, especially people's corners.

Askren is that dude I'm not losing in any universe to.

There's some people who violate that man-code of the gym.

My job is to hit somebody until the referee pulls me off.

Definitely the title, definitely Kamaru Usman interests me.

If I can compete five, six times a year that would be perfect.

I'm not the type of dude who kicks somebody when they're down.

I just like to fight, man. The place doesn't really bother me.

I'm not going to kill my body, my lifestyle just to go to '55.

Ben Askren had never been knocked out when I got a hold of him.

A guy like Anderson Silva is one the greatest champions we've had.

I'm a dirty south goon - damn right, I ain't no West coast gangster.

Nobody has ever wanted - they get forced to fight Yoel. Ask anybody.

I asked for the toughest, best fights to my management, to my coaches.

I don't go around making conversation, I just kind of stick to myself.

I've got a big buzz going on because I'm known and put people to sleep.

You know I could get hit with a baseball bat and it don't mean nothing.

When I get anxiety and depression and things like that, I take to eating.

Usually with my opponents, I don't care if they win the lottery or they die.

I got taught respect because if not, somebody's gonna make you respect them.

It's simple, I'm a fighter, but on top of that I have to entertain the people.

I've got more mat hours than most of the guys who are grapplers got on the mat.

I think the sport is growing and along with it weight classes have to be added.

I got kicked out of school... I caused a lot of turbulence throughout those years.

I'm a guy who's in there everyday with world-class grapplers feeling that pressure.

My body fat at 173 is five percent, so the rest is just straight water that I lose.

I came to 170 and I got motivated and finally they started giving me ranked opponents.

A lot of times I went to sleep hungry, and not because I was cutting weight for a fight.

For some reason, that's the title they're giving me: ''The Ultimate Fighter' Destroyer.'

In every fight the strategy is to baptize and take their soul - that's always the strategy.

I don't want to fight no up-and-coming guy, no guy that's 15-0 but hasn't faced anybody yet.

I don't want any up-and-coming guys. I want someone that's established already, that's good.

You guys might not know who Yves Edwards is, if you don't, shame on you, go do some research.

Man, I never got to fight a ranked opponent at 155, and that wasn't because I wasn't winning.

I never think past any man, because every guy has two hands and every dude wants to hurt you.

I want to fight the guys that are world-class beaters. That's who I want to get in there with.
