“I used to only train 30 minutes a day.”

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.

George Foreman acts more like my grandfather. He and my grandfather act just alike – they’re both Christian type guys. They try to help everyone.

It’s like I say all the time, it’s the heavyweight division. It doesn’t matter if the guys a black belt or if he’s a world-class boxer. We still have a 50-50 chance.

I’ve been in that situation three or four times before where I’m losing the fight – the fight seems almost over with – and I knew I had to finish him and stop playing possum as much.

I know Cormier is a wrestler so you really got to get them hips down on him so I’ve been working them hips really good.

Whatever the UFC wants to pay me for, that’s fine.

That’s usually the way I am – I don’t care what my opponent can do. I just focus on myself.

I’m not scared to fight anyone, I’ll call anyone out.

For sure, I would love to fight in Houston.

I’m an optimistic guy.

That would be great if I could be a role model or inspiration to those who have been in my shoes before.

We spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power..

I usually spend Valentines Day with my friends. But if I did have a girlfriend, I’d bring her flowers and candy.

I had seven brothers and four sisters. I told my mama, ‘One of these days I’m going to be big and strong and buy you a beautiful house.’ That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do with my life, is to take care of my mother.

I can only control my own performance. If I do my best, then I can feel good at the end of the day.

A bad day on the course doesn’t have to mean a bad night and a bad week and you get to scream at your agent.

The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don’t have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.

Coming from a small town it was tough to dream big. When I grew up in a small town in Georgia, my biggest dream was one day to be able to go to Atlanta.

When a noble life has prepared for old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
