“I throw so hard because I sit and wait for that perfect moment.”

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.

I used to only train 30 minutes a day.

I want you to take a good, hard look at me, America, because this is exactly what you’ve got coming.

It’s hard enough for me to write what I want to write without me trying to write what you say they want me to write which I don’t want to write.

I think you have to work very hard and dedicate yourself and have the respect of your teammates before you’re about to go out and just try to take a game over by yourself.

The vast majority of the American people are hard-working taxpayers who take responsibility for their families, go to work every day, they pay their mortgage on time, they volunteer in the community.

Life is hard and astonishingly complicated…. No one great reform will make it easy.

I get up at 5 A.M., and I train hard. I’ve got two young children, so I have to get up early. But I like it.

It’s not bringing in the new ideas that’s so hard; it’s getting rid of the old ones.

Very often people who admit the facts, who are willing to see that Mr. Rockefeller has employed force and fraud to secure his ends, justify him by declaring, ‘It’s business.’ That is, ‘it’s business’ has come to be a legitimate excuse for hard dealing, sly tricks, special privileges.
