“I know just about everything that really goes on with domestic violence.”

I just like being in fun fights.

Everyone else is a mixed martial artist. I’m not a mixed martial artist, I’m a brawler.

As long as they pay me good, that’s all I care about.

The one thing about me, if it is a 15-minute fight, I’m fighting every one of them 15 minutes. And if it’s a 25-minute fight, I’ll be fighting all 25 until the bell rings.

I’ve been through so much stuff that I hope even my enemies wouldn’t have to go through.

I don’t want to fight once a year. I like fighting every other month.

I made my third parole and I believe if I had made it the first time, I wouldn’t be here today. I still would’ve been out there doing stupid stuff.

It’s a job to me, basically. I’m not trying to be the best fighter in the world or nothing like that. I don’t come in trying to think I am the best fighter. I don’t care about none of that. It’s just a job to me.

I just have a crazy sense of humor.

I believe the tough fights bring out the better fighter in myself.

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’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 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.

I know there are some voices calling for a punitive deal that punishes Britain. That would be an act of calamitous self-harm for the countries of Europe, and it would not be the act of a friend.

There is a knowing in her, she hears them say, that makes her untamable. She has known since she was a child that she is observant in a way that makes them uncomfortable.

I know how to handle noise better than I can handle silence.

All he knew was chaos and this mortal world was obsessed with order

A war is still a war even if it is inside your head, did you know this?

In one book, CACHALOT, just for my own amusement, every character is based directly on someone I have known.

I know how to live with a blade and teach it not to make me bleed.

A great statesman is he who knows when to depart from traditions, as well as when to adhere to them.
