“I always teach myself calm and visualization stuff.”

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.

I’d love to go into WWE and have a real knock and see what’s what.

If they let people go fight jiu-jitsu tournaments, they can’t stop me going to fight a boxing fight.

I’ve read a lot of books on the laws of attraction, and in my home, I have a big book on Muhammad Ali, which I’ve read because he is, like, a hero of mine, but other than that, no, I’m not a big reader.

This guy’s a clown! He’s just all talk!’ I’ve heard that many times in my career. And then they’re sleeping in the middle of the octagon.

Cage Warriors is a brilliant organisation. They’re doing great things for European MMA, and they’re giving the platform for guys like me who came through. They’re vital. I’m forever grateful for the opportunities I got.

I have a deep, deep belief that if I tell you I’m going to crack you with a clean shot to the chin inside one minute of the first round and you will be unconscious, well, then that’s what will happen.

Glutes are power.

Yeah, the Mac Life… it’s about sipping some tea, getting together with the knitting circle. You know I like origami, right? That’s how you get to be notorious.

I like radio and live performing stuff. I don’t like the television stuff as much.

I like radio and live performing stuff. I don’t like the television stuff as much. Some people do. It takes a certain breed of cat. .

The best gift you can give yourself is some drive–that thing inside of you that gets you out the door to the gym, job interviews, and dates.

I liked cars and architecture, and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer, and make money… and not do stuff that was dirty.

In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction, I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff.

Everything seems overwhelming when you stand back and look at the totality of it. I build a lot of stuff and it would all seem impossible if I didn’t break it down piece by piece, stage by stage.

At times, I have been convinced that books hold all the material of life–at least all the stuff that fits between an A and a Z.

I like English, and I like writing essays, and that kind of stuff.
