I’m not in this sport to see how hard I can get hit or to see how many big punches I can take. I am in this game to fight as long as I can. I am trying to dish a lot of punishment.

To be honest with you, I normally beat guys with my C game and I don't have to pull my A or B game out.

Me and my team always work so hard outside that square circle.

Everywhere I go, I will make a good payday. But we got to choose the right opponent and the right time and the right venue.

The ultimate goal is to always break records.

Maidana is a young, strong and tough competitor. He's a guy that I can't overlook. You can never take any fighter for granted because anything can happen.

I'm a firm believer that before you can go anywhere, you have to conquer the level that you are at, just like young kids do it today with video games, they have to finish one level to go to the next one. Conquer one level at the time, and only then you'll get where you want to go to.
