“I don’t know how to do takedowns.”

I just believe that my heart is the best in the sport. And I believe that’s what carried me through my whole career. Not my talent or my power or anything like that. I just believe my heart.

I’m just going to keep fighting, try to stay active as much as possible.

I’m fighting just so I can take care of my family.

I don’t care where I’m at in the heavyweight division. As long as I win enough, so they keep me. That’s about it.

I have a lot of anger built up in me from my childhood. My wife and kids are the only ones who give me peace in this world.

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.

There is one knows not what sweet mystery about this sea, whose gently awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath.

I knew one thing. I did not want to be a mommy like mommy.

I think the greatest lesson I have just recently learned is how powerful the mind is, informing our decision making unknowingly.

Love is only known by him who hopelessly persists in love.

Jackie Chan, I’ve known him, he’s a great guy. I know he’s very watchable and fun. He’s perfect, actually.

I can tell how far I ought to be going, I know how to get there, all I’ve got to do is keep playing.

I’d rather know what you’re thinking – even if what you’re thinking is insane.

It’s so important to know where you are.
