“This heavyweight division, it takes just one punch for anyone. It doesn’t matter how hard you train or what.”

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.

I used to only train 30 minutes a day.

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.

I never yet have known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord’s people were divided.

The mind defines, decides, doubts and divides – only the heart truly binds.

We have to be vigilant about how the Trump administration may try to divide us from each other.

For the first few years we paid all the bills first and divided what was left as salary. Sometimes that was $50 a week.

We need to take our passion and effect real change at the local, state, and federal levels, to help elect progressive leaders, and to stem the tide of division, fear and scapegoating.

I wrote in the War of Art that I could divide my life neatly into two parts: before turning pro and after. After is better.

When fear displaces reason, the result is often irrational hatred and division.

I would rather have peaceful isolation than divided freedom. Read that again.
