I remember being a kid and saying, 'One day, I'm going to have a ranch. One day, one day, one day.' And now, I'm fighting in the UFC. I'm here making the money, and that one day is here. I can finally go get those things that I want.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Colorado's home for me.
-
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.
-
Bull riding is fun, but fighting is it.
-
I just love to be out on the lake, wakeboard, surfing, just playing, man.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
There is nothing more I love more than being in a throw-down on a Saturday night.
-
I'll go to 185 pounds; who cares? Just give me fights.
-
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 own everything. I own my RV, my house, my trucks, my boat. Everything is paid for.
-
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.
-
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.
-
That's my style of fighting. I am throwing down, you know? Having fun. And that's my approach to life.
-
Fighting angry and fighting mad isn't good.
-
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.
-
You've got to know what you put in your body. That's it.
-
I thought I would be laying hardwood floors in Colorado - a construction worker. Middle class or working class, that's where I was! I just fought because I loved it. It was so fun! Being able to go in there and outthink your opponents.
