My style of fighting is to go down and trying to finish the guy and trying to end fights, not laying up because I'm winning the fight, just keep going after it.
-
Anderson Silva is a tough guy, man. He's dangerous. He's got heavy hands, and he's not afraid to throw them. He's a dangerous opponent for anyone.
-
Every time I win, I prove something: I'm the best guy in the world at what I do.
-
I drove motorcycles through college. I didn't have the money to buy a car.
-
I'd like to have all of my losses back. But it's too late for that.
-
I drove the Ford Ranger until probably five years after college, till about 2001, when I was almost 30.
-
We have come a long way from the first season of 'The Ultimate Fighter.'
-
Totally different challenges, but being a dad and fighting both wear you out.
-
People got to understand, the fighters at the top are the fighters that are supposed to get paid because they're the guys that are bringing people in, bringing eyes to the TV, getting pay-per-views buys, and putting people in the seats. I mean, that's what it comes down to.
-
With the fights I have lost, I always want another shot and think that I can beat them.
-
I try to take two weeks off after a fight and then get back to working out four or five times a week.
-
Everyone says I drive like my grandfather, but that's not always a good thing because he didn't always watch the road because he'd talk to you and look at you. He was a deputy sheriff, a cop, for a long time. So he was always looking around, checking out other things, other than what's directly in front of him.
-
Several nutrition companies have approached me over the years to endorse a number of different products. Some worked; some didn't - so I decided to create my own brand.
-
I don't like being bad at anything.
-
Train hard, get good coaching, and don't forget that its mixed martial arts. Don't get tied into one style of fighting, and focus on multiple disciplines.

I hate hearing in a UFC corner, 'You won the first four rounds; just stay away from him this round.'
-
I did well in school, was the captain of the wrestling team and the football team, and always got along well with people, so I'm sure I would have gotten a job in the real world. I probably wouldn't have liked that, though.
-
I was the guy that would cram for everything, so I guess I was a bit of a slacker. I was a procrastinator. I spent a lot of all-nighters getting ready for tests.
-
I grew up while I was in college. I learned how to take care of myself. I learned how to prioritize things. I learned how to get things done.
-
Supplements have always been a really big part of my training regimen.
-
We run on the beach some days, and others, we run hills behind the gym. We also do several hours of grappling each week as mixed with some intense cardio in the ring.
-
If you watch fights cage-side, sometimes different punches look better than others. It's like camera angles. Sometimes some punches look a lot better than they were, and sometimes a solid punch doesn't look good. So it just depends on your angle.
-
I started doing martial arts since I was 12, and then I went into wrestling in college. After I met John Hackleman, I started getting really serious about it, and after a few amateur fights, I got an invite to the UFC and have been in love with it ever since.

You have to learn your own details before you can teach them.
