“Keep everything simple, don’t try anything crazy and all your strikes must be hard! NOTHING WEAK, no jabs or weak attacks.”

You can buy muscles, but you can’t buy COJONES!

Fedor has no weakness. I have seen so many fights, and even the best fighters in the world have a flaw in their game but I have yet to find one in Fedor Emelianenko.

No beer before 5 p.m., wait… did I just say that?

Apparently, the the only way to kill a lion is by rear naked choke. Personally, I’d just kick it in the head.

As long as you fight, you cannot lose… if you leave everything out there, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose. To me you can never lose.

A true champion is one who sweats from exhaustion when no one is watching.

I was this kid who never sat down. Nobody liked me? Well, I’d make sure they’d like me. I was the class clown, always doing crazy stuff and causing riots.

It’s only pain, it will not hurt you.

Everybody underestimates the kick to the groin.

Everybody’s beatable. Mixed martial arts, there’s many ways to win, and that also means there are many ways to lose, as well.

I knew everything in the forest. I had a secret home tree, where I pretty much lived. I also liked rooftops and streetlamps. My parents would get calls saying ‘He’s out there again.’

Fighting is easy to understand. You just hit the guy as hard as you can.

I am there for the best interests of the fighters, I want them to win. If they don’t accept that, bye bye.

A champion is someone who sweats to exhaustion, even when no one else is watching

I thought martial arts was going to help me with my movies and TV stuff, but I realized it would not.

I dont believe in an eye for an eye, I believe in two eyes for an eye

You’re Arguing with ‘What Is’ – Your demands keep you chained to the ‘dream-state’ of the conditioned mind. The desire to ‘control’… is, ultimately, our unwillingness to just be awake.

Right now you can allow yourself to experience a very simple sense of not knowing – not knowing what or who you are, not knowing what this moment is, not knowing anything.

There is no simple formula for the relationship of art to justice…In the end, I don’t think we can separate art from overall human dignity and hope. My concern for my country is inextricable from my concerns as an artist.

Deep down, everything boils down (“au fond tout se ramène”, Fr.) to the following simple question; Do we really want justice and the realization in this world of higher principles, or else do we want to serve selfish.

Even if it’s something so simple as filling myself up with uplifting meditation so it’s easier to spread kindness and love by the time I walk out my door and enter the world.

No one ever told us we had to study our lives,make of our lives a study, as if learning natural historyor music, that we should beginwith the simple exercises firstand slowly go on tryingthe hard ones.

It will take all your heart, it will take all your breath It will be short, it will not be simple

All the things I thought I was – simple and plain and sometime funny – are very small words.
