“I will fight in many weight divisions.”

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‘What a waste of energy.’

When I prepare, I am not messing around. I find the right places, the right people, and the right environment. Iceland is one of those places.

There’s people that tried to celebrate when I lost that got nothing to do with it. That’s not the sign of a champion.

It could be if I fight in front of one person or one million people. It’s still the same emotions.

I like to look good, my friend.

I’m in the game of spinning plates. I’m spinning a boxing plate. I’m spinning a Tae Kwon Do plate. I’m spinning a Jujitsu plate. I’m spinning a freestyle wrestling plate. I’m spinning a karate plate. If I was to put all them down and have one boxing plate spinning, it would be like a load off my shoulders.

I’m going to change the way martial arts is viewed. I’m going to change the game. I’m going to change the way people approach fighting.

Some people take defeat and losses a certain way. You see how some fighters take losses.

I enjoy competition. I enjoy challenges. If a challenge is in front of me and it appeals to me, I will go ahead and conquer it.

You might win some, you might lose some. But you go in, you challenge yourself, you become a better man, a better individual, a better fighter.

I sleep people. I put people unconscious. I’m stating facts.

I want to be an expert in different fighting styles, new training methods, new ways of thinking.

The only time my records are going to be broken is by my own spawn. I’m going be training that child out the womb.

The more you seek the uncomfortable, the more you will become comfortable.

Many people don’t understand ring control. They think they do until they’re against someone who really understands how to set traps, how to create holes in the octagon that they fall into.

I always put myself out there. I’m not afraid to commit to something.

Present, n. That part of eternity dividing the domain of disappointment from the realm of hope.

We are not going to dwell on those things that divide us. We are going to rejoice in those things that keep us together to make this a better country – to reach down and back to touch every young person in need!

Divisions are imaginary lines drawn by small minds.

Never allow anything that divides or destroys the oneness of your life with Christ to remain in your life without facing it.

A problem shared is a problem divided. A tragedy shared is a tragedy multiplied.

In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred, we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.

Whether the borders that divide us are picket fences or national boundaries, we are all neighbors in a global community.

What makes the Kingdom come is heartfelt compassion: a way of tenderness that knows no frontiers, no labels, no compartmentalizing, and no sectarian divisions.
