Know what your strengths are, but also keep in mind what your weaknesses are; always work on your weaknesses.

You need good training partners - because you’re only as good as your training partners - and a strong desire to always get better.

You need good coaches with a good gym that teach you the essentials, like boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and pretty much all the stuff that you need to be successful in MMA.

Nothing is given to you in this world, so you have to work hard.

I don't think about being undefeated; I don't think about what people say in the media about me, whether it's good or bad; I just don't think of it.

I just have to practice hard, get better, and go out there and win impressively - that's all it comes down to.
