“My preparation is about precision. It is a science.”

The left paw has done me well over the years. I’m not a scientist, I’m a martial artist.

A good feeling for me is when you train, and then you put on fresh clothes. New clothes after a training session – you have this rush of endorphins from exercise that everybody gets, and then you get that nice feeling of fresh clothes. It’s a double whammy.

You’ve got to put in the work. You’ve got to grind. You’ve got go through the struggle, and you’ve got to get it.

If you are surrounded by your competition and you are outworking these people, outmaneuvering these people, it’s hard not to let your confidence take over. It just builds and builds and builds.

We are famous all through the world for our fighting capabilities of all generations. So I have no doubt that’s stood to me and that led me down this path and gave me what I have.

It’s good to make your brain work more than your body.

You beat him verbally. You beat him mentally, and then finally, you beat him physically. That’s the three ways to beat a man.

That’s what I do this for, to secure my family’s future. I don’t care about anything else. I’m able to spoil people, and that’s the best thing.

I break orbital bones.

My dream is to be World Lightweight Champion in the UFC. Have more money than I know what to do with. And have a great life for my kids, grandkids, and everyone in my family.

If you deserve it, go get it.

I am fearless.

I run New York City!

Boxing is limited fighting with a specific rule set. Fighting is true, where you can do anything.

I am not stupid. I am a very bright guy. I know that in the fighting game, you get people who get brain damage and do themselves long-term harm.

I wish everyone well, but you need to focus on yourself. You need to stop putting your hand out. Everyone wants hand outs. Everyone wants things for free.

Extension brings space, space brings freedom, freedom brings precision. Precision is truth.

The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one’s self. And the arbitrariness of the constraint serves only to obtain precision of execution.

Focused with precision, it can become a powerful source of energy serving progress and change.
