I love Adele.

I'm a good actor.

I like Katy Perry.

I never will give up.

Brock Lesnar is a very big guy.

My game plan is always my punching.

I actually want to face Daniel Cormier.

It's very unusual for me to take a punch.

I love who I am, and I want to stay in MMA.

If you are nice, nice things happen to you.

I like to move a lot and throw some hard punches.

The ground game of Derrick Lewis isn't that good.

When you become the champion, you become a target.

In the beginning of my all my camps, I do just boxing.

For sure, the UFC and MMA became way bigger than boxing.

Forget about jiu-jitsu and wrestling - I'm a boxing guy.

I'm an MMA fighter, and I'm really confident in all areas.

I'm always thinking to myself about getting the belt back.

I have to know jiu-jitsu and wrestling, but I'm a boxing guy.

I have combinations, and I work on my combinations all the time.

Ben Rothwell is a beast like he says he is. He's very, very tough.

I don't pick opponents. I don't care about who I'm going to fight.

I love to train boxing, and I think I have enough skills in boxing.

What's the point of fighting in the UFC if it isn't to become the champion?

When you believe in something and you are a good person, good things happen.

Miocic has that knockout punch. I was completely dizzy a few moments when we fought.

Every athlete in the UFC, I think they want to fight for the title. I'm no different.

Whatever UFC wants to do or any opponent they want to give me, I'll be ready for that.

It's my biggest goal to become champion. I think it's everybody's goal here in the UFC.

I don't care that much about rankings, and that doesn't matter that much in the UFC, too.

Considering myself as a true number one in the UFC, I think Cain Velasquez is the number two.

Jon Jones is amazing; he's so confident. He uses his elbows very well, and I think he's a great talent.

I'm not worried about trying to guarantee a fight for the belt, because that's automatic; it will happen.

If you say an athlete doesn't need supplementation, that he can get everything through food, you're wrong.

I don't like to use - I never use - any kind of drugs to help me in my fights. I don't like that. I don't like drugs.

I've always done my best inside the Octagon, fought the best there is, and win or lose, I've done my best in my fights.

When you first start to do jiu-jitsu everyone has the goal of being a black belt. You want to be great at everything you do.

If I wanted to eat all the protein I need from food, I would have to eat something like 10 chickens per day. That is impossible.

Daniel Cormier is a different champion. He has achieved some amazing things in his career, and for me, it would be very nice to be facing him.

It's my job to beat whoever the UFC puts in front of me. I don't really care who it is. Whoever they put in front of me, I will just try to go out and beat them.

When I had long hair, I used to tie it back, so the guys would say I would look like the 'Gypsy.' I used to hate that, but the less you like a nickname, the more it sticks.

My coach used to tell me I've got pretty heavy hands, so I try to use them at the start of the fight because it's a good time to use my power because I'm 100% in the moment.

I see the takedowns; I see the opportunities to take people down or even try to submit them or something like that. But man, I prefer to stay on my feet. That way I'm confident.

Fedor is the greatest, no doubt. For me, in a matter of admiration, he is the greatest of all time. He is a heavyweight who beat everybody. He certainly was 'The Baddest Man on the Planet.'

Winning is the most important thing, especially in this sport, because when you lose in this sport, it's very hard because you go back, and you have to rebuild your chances to fight for the title.

This thing where Daniel Cormier wants to fight Brock Lesnar; I know he wants to make money, but it doesn't make any sense. The only one who wants to see that fight or make that fight is him. Nobody else wants to see that.

My first MMA fight was July 2006 here in Brazil. I won a few fights here in Brazil, and then I got a chance to fight in the UFC, but they put me against the number one contender for the title at that time. It was Fabricio Werdum.

I'm chasing my goals, and I haven't been able to make things happen the way I want them to happen. It doesn't feel good, but the answer is simple: I just have to work hard and to focus on cutting down the number of mistakes I make.

I say it all the time: it's different when two heavyweights, especially when they are the size of Ben Rothwell, face each other in the Octagon. Even the leather - right in the back seat of the arena, they will be able to hear the sounds of the punches.

The heavyweight division is always very intriguing. These are the heavy hitters, you know? Every time when you do a mistake, it's the end of the fight. So you have to be careful all the time, and this is what makes this division so intriguing, so exciting for the fans.
