I don't give a f***. We're not fighting. I don't care what anyone thinks about me. All the stuff I have to do outside the fighting, the promotion, this, I don't give a f***. But when I am facing up for a fight, I know what they're thinking. I can read their minds. When I am going face to face with an opponent, nose to nose, I can smell the fear, and I'm feeling no fear at all.

Getting enough protein is important when I train, to help build muscle and recover, so I'll supplement with protein shakes.

I feel it when I need to train and I do what I feel like I need to do. I don't get obsessed with one style or one skill.

I know I can hold two, maybe even three belts. So I have business to take care of back in and around my weight class.

It makes a difference when you've got more than two months versus two weeks to train for a particular opponent.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think what a waste of energy. If people want to believe in this god, or that god, that's fine by me, believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

I don't know why anyone would want to do that politics stuff.
