“I’ve been in that situation three or four times before where I’m losing the fight – the fight seems almost over with – and I knew I had to finish him and stop playing possum as much.”

I used to only train 30 minutes a day.

George Foreman acts more like my grandfather. He and my grandfather act just alike – they’re both Christian type guys. They try to help everyone.

It’s like I say all the time, it’s the heavyweight division. It doesn’t matter if the guys a black belt or if he’s a world-class boxer. We still have a 50-50 chance.

I know Cormier is a wrestler so you really got to get them hips down on him so I’ve been working them hips really good.

Whatever the UFC wants to pay me for, that’s fine.

That’s usually the way I am – I don’t care what my opponent can do. I just focus on myself.

I’m not scared to fight anyone, I’ll call anyone out.

For sure, I would love to fight in Houston.

I’m an optimistic guy.

That would be great if I could be a role model or inspiration to those who have been in my shoes before.

It would be cool to let people know that it doesn’t matter what kind of background you have in your past, that you can still make something out of your life.

I don’t care if I am ever remembered in this sport for anything.

I go in to fight just to fight. I don’t care about submissions, the technique and all of that.

The sport itself is dangerous. Anything can happen.

I don’t fight just because I love it just that much. I’m fighting because it’s a job for me.

I hate being in boring fights. It frustrates me.

I would like to add a third, to wit, the rapid and direct approch of a known killer

I would like better to be known as the Godfather of Fashion, with all the implications that that word has.

Now they are a little like those desperate junkies who have tried every known drug and are finally reduced to mainlining toilet bowl cleanser in an effort to get still higher.

I am also a writer. That is a fact not known by the public in general.

I still stay in touch with Elinor Donahue. I’ve known Elinor since she was 14-years-old.

Constants are widely known for the detestable practice of changing their values; we should prepare ourselves against the consequences of such fickleness

I can tell you that I’d rather be kissed by my dogs than by some people I’ve known.

You know, I’m just not going to get into American politics.
