“I go into every fight with a bad back and overweight and a damn-near diabetic.”

I know just about everything that really goes on with domestic violence.

Brock Lesnar is not a fighter. He’s scared to be hit.

A lot of people said I would never make it, and this and that, I’d never be a top 10 fighter, that I’d never fight for a title. Just stuff like that. Achieving all those goals and being the person that I am, this is going against everything everyone said I couldn’t do.

I always had dreamed one day Bruce Buffer’s going to be introducing me. Derrick ‘The Black Beast’ Lewis and I just always pictured him saying it.

I have a couple of properties. Bought some houses and just rent them out.

I’ve been having people doubt me all my life.

I just like being in fun fights.

Everyone else is a mixed martial artist. I’m not a mixed martial artist, I’m a brawler.

As long as they pay me good, that’s all I care about.

The one thing about me, if it is a 15-minute fight, I’m fighting every one of them 15 minutes. And if it’s a 25-minute fight, I’ll be fighting all 25 until the bell rings.

I’ve been through so much stuff that I hope even my enemies wouldn’t have to go through.

I don’t want to fight once a year. I like fighting every other month.

I made my third parole and I believe if I had made it the first time, I wouldn’t be here today. I still would’ve been out there doing stupid stuff.

It’s a job to me, basically. I’m not trying to be the best fighter in the world or nothing like that. I don’t come in trying to think I am the best fighter. I don’t care about none of that. It’s just a job to me.

I just have a crazy sense of humor.

I believe the tough fights bring out the better fighter in myself.
