Always pursue your dreams and work hard at it.

Train smart at all times and do your best to avoid injury. Training smart is more important than training hard.

You think I was born rich? I've worked really hard. You have no idea.

I can choose whoever I want, in MMA things change very rapidly, sometimes you don't know what'll happen and there's a guy that upsets everybody. I could fight who the fans would like me to fight the most. For me that's important.

I had two ACL injuries in my life, and both of them happened when I was training with bigger guys; a heavyweight and a light heavyweight. Sometimes it's not even because the guy is good, you just get hurt.

If you prepare your subconscious for highly stressful situations, you can create harmony with your fears. You can tame fear like a wild animal and use it to your advantage.

It's not about how you are when things go well, what defines you is how you are when you fail from an obstacle.
