“What you put into it is what you’re going to get out of it. If you’re getting the chance to step into the octagon, you better be going full speed and give it everything you’ve got.”

You’re going to fall, but you got to stand.

I don’t worry about losing all my fans. Whatever true fans you’ve got will stick by you, so that’s nothing to worry about

It comes down to having fun and doing what I love.

Birds fly and fish swim and I do this.

It’s not a certain technique, it’s not a skillit’s all in your mind, it’s how far you want to go

Fighting is pure chaos, and to be a good fighter you simply have to be prepared mentally and physically to handle that chaos.

People could connect with me… I think the appeal was that, “Here he is, he’s just a normal guy like us, and he’s giving it his all”.

I always gave it the best shot I had, whether it went my way or not that night.

There is that lovely feeling of one reader telling another, ‘You must read this.’

Life is not meaningful…unle ss it is serving an end beyond itself; unless it is of value to someone else.

Life becomes meaningful and all activities are purposeful only on the basis of faith in the enduring reality.

Some have speculated that the way [Albert] Camus died made his theories on absurdity a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Others would say it was the triumphant meaningful way he lived that allowed him to rise heroically above absurdity.

The traditional difficulty of balancing the mechanical with the imaginative schools of photography still operates.
