I always have great cardio.

I never underestimate anybody.

I'm always pretty much smiling.

I want to be super well-rounded.

I think me and Mr. Dolph Lundgren look kind of alike.

For me, it was just a huge honor to fight in the UFC.

I'm always learning and getting better with my technique.

I love being young and looking forward to seeing what I can do.

Whatever Dana White and Joe Silva have planned for me, I'm ready.

Each day is new, and I feel like I show something better each day.

I think I'm one of the fastest and strongest lightweights out there.

Houston is super cool, and Katy is super cool, and so is Sacramento.

I think for the UFC to re-sign me, that would be something that's great.

When I was nine years old, I was on the cover of 'Sport Karate' magazine.

I've trained my whole life, and I've always had the UFC be a goal of mine.

I know I have great grappling myself, and I know how I do with submissions.

I'm taking it one fight at a time. But I always see myself being victorious.

I consider my MMA training starting the day I set foot in Urijah Faber's gym.

Sylvester Stallone seems like a really cool guy, and Dolph Lundgren seems awesome.

I would like to be the youngest UFC world champion. I believe I can accomplish that.

I always stay positive if I can. I always stay upbeat and always have a ton of energy.

I never really have a game plan other than to finish my opponent as quickly as possible.

I try not to hear anything negative about me, and if I do hear it, I try to block it out.

A lot of the times, anything that somebody tries to say negative is actually kind of funny.

People can say what they want. But you can silence a lot of people when you go out there and win.

Mr. Faber is a huge role model. He's a UFC Hall of Famer. He's such a driven person and a champion.

I never get sick normally, but having strep throat three times in four months - that's pretty crazy.

You only get one chance to fight in the UFC, and while you have the chance, you might as well take it.

Typically, when someone gets a choke on me, I have a pretty strong neck. It's usually hard to choke me.

Jon Jones is awesome and won his first world title at 23 and 8 months. I believe I can do it before then.

I'm studying at A&M, and that takes so much hard work, so much dedication, and that effort is very tough.

The more fights I have in the UFC, the more people I meet, the more opportunities I have to make an impact.

I'm getting to put all my time and effort into studying my martial arts and to be the best fighter I can be.

People say I don't have the experience. I might not have 20 MMA fights, but I've been fighting my whole life.

I might take a little time off from school to train. I'd be a totally different animal if I trained full time.

Everybody who is fighting at UFC 200 is awesome! It's going to be awesome to get to meet everybody. I'm excited.

I'm always looking to go out there and finish my opponents as soon as possible so I can stay safe and protected.

Knowing what God has in store for me - it gives me hope. I kind of feel like God's warrior, pretty much. God's weapon.

It's an incredible feeling, just to know that you have MMA fans that are behind you and want to know when your next fight will be.

I believe coming in early to the UFC gives me an advantage. More time to learn, more time to be in the UFC and get better as a fighter.

People see a lot of my standup, and that's what I'm known for since I was trained in karate and kickboxing, but I also have ground game.

Any fighter fighting in the UFC would take the opportunity to take a fight against a YouTuber and stand to make several million dollars.

Going into the UFC debut, you have to wonder what's going on, what's the workout going to be like. It's just an honor to be at an open workout.

I want to be eventually be the best wrestler out there, be the best grappler out there, along with being the best striker - be all of them at one time.

Obviously, I'm trying to keep improving at everything, from the wrestling to the jiu-jitsu to the striking to the transitions, every part of my MMA aspect.

I feel like I have goals that I set, and I try to accomplish those goals, so no matter what room I step into, I know the direction that I'm wanting to head.

What I love the most about being a pro fighter is meeting the people. You get to meet all the fans and new friends that you get to meet up with all the time.

I'm in the UFC; this is a sport about fighting. If someone wants to fight me, or someone wants to fight someone else... you're here to fight each other, so I get it.

The UFC expects you to perform at your very best. If you're barely training, if you're spending the majority of your time on school, it's impossible to be at your best.

Georges St-Pierre - he's so awesome. It was very great getting to roll around with him and getting to train with him. He's so nice and so friendly, and he's very humble, too.
