I don't feel pain. I ain't got time for that. I let other people feel pain for me.

I lift weights, but that's not my main focus. I'm a fighter now, and I want to evolve and make myself a well-rounded fighter, so obviously I'm not going to leave any stone unturned, when it comes to submissions, submission defense, striking, knees, leg kicks, and also learning to defend everything. It's not just an offensive sport because you're going to take some punches and you're going to give some punches. You've got to be able to handle both sides of the spectrum. I've brought in a number of highly trained trainers to help me evolve, and I believe we've left no stone unturned.

You have to train smart. There is always a risk of over-training or training beyond what your body is able to recover from, and that leads to injuries.

You learn a lot of different things with trials and tribulations and, at the end of the day, you get some positives from whatever mistakes you've made.

My goal is to be the best fighter in the world, UFC Heavyweight Champion. There is no back-up plan.

There's an old expression about falling off a horse. You get back on and you ride that bad boy into town.

I'm going to drink a Coor's Light, cause Bud Light don't pay me nothin'.
