I'm a guy who likes to keep fighting five, six times a year, so if I ask for too much money, they might say, 'Well, we pay you too much. We can't let you keep jumping backwards and forwards and promote it.' The money I'm making is good to keep grabbing short-notice fights. I love them; they're my favorite ones.
-
For a while, I drank the juice - I did things the way everybody else said to. I listened to their advice. But it didn't work.
-
I signed a contract to fight at UFC 187, so I'm going to fight at UFC 187, whoever it is against. It's the same thing.
-
I love fighting as much as I can and as often as possible.
-
I want all of the blue collar American working class people to know that I'm out there fighting for them.
-
I took up scuba diving, and my next big thing is BASE jumping.
-
I just love to be out on the lake, wakeboard, surfing, just playing, man.
-
Colorado's home for me.
-
There is nothing more I love more than being in a throw-down on a Saturday night.
-
That Evan Dunham fight, I went back to not being serious. I was going to the lake and literally brought some wrestling mats down with me. We have a shop at the lake where we park the boat. I'd throw the mats in there, wakeboard all day, and train all night. I was having a good time, getting back to work.
-
People ask me, 'Why don't you take time off?' but the working class doesn't take time off. They're out there working every day. That's what I do, too. I want them to know there is hope, and I'm out there just like they are.
-
MMA makes you sore and tired every day. I wonder what we're going to be like when we're 50 or 60. I wake up some mornings and just say, 'Oh, God.' And then I go scuba diving.
-
I own everything. I own my RV, my house, my trucks, my boat. Everything is paid for.
-
Bull riding is fun, but fighting is it.
-
It's hard to have money in the bank and want something and then not get it.
-
I could definitely make 145. But if 'Cowboy' is going to 145, I'm going after somebody who matters.
-
I see the business side of it and moving up the ladder towards the title. That's where the money's at. That's the overall goal.
-
That's my style of fighting. I am throwing down, you know? Having fun. And that's my approach to life.
-
I remember kickboxing and traveling the world when I was young. I would go to Japan or Africa, and I would go for the experience. As soon as I got off the plane, we'd go have a good time, party. Fighting was just the outlet of what I was doing there.
-
Aw man, I spend it pretty much as fast as I make it. If I want something, I don't wait around and plan or nothing. I just go out and get it.
-
Fighting angry and fighting mad isn't good.
-
You've got to know what you put in your body. That's it.
-
The UFC has been nothing but great to me. I can't complain; they give me what I want.
-
When I fought Benson Henderson for the first time, or Jamie Varner, it was always like, 'Oh man... I'm in here fighting these guys. Do I really belong here?' That's all changed now.
