“The mixed martial arts way of life will give you focus.”

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.
