Even if I thought I could get a submission I'm not laying underneath a grown man with my legs spread on worldwide TV. Some guys subscribe to that theory but I am a Republican and we don't do that.

When you’re the best fighter in the world today, they don’t call you a great fighter. They call you Chael Sonnen.

GSP is good, but don't get me wrong he better stay at 170 with the other midgetts.

I can't justify to myself working less, even if you get more out of it. Even though, in practice, it does seem it would be better for me personally.

Wanderlei Silva, six feet tall and 205 pounds, boy, until I met you, I didn't know they could stack crap that high.

I hate downtime. I hate it so much. I like to relax like anybody else, but I hate not doing anything. In my life I'm either going full speed or I'm at a stop.

If I was mentoring a young fighter, I'd tell him to spend more time on boxing. That doesn't mean I would ignore kickboxing - you still need to learn the defenses - but in stand-up, it's hard to beat good, solid boxing.
