Always pursue your dreams and work hard at it.

The danger is not to set your goal too high and fail to reach it. It’s to set your goal too low and reach it

Sometimes I'm under the impression some of the fights happen that they shouldn't happen because a guy's cheating. Also, I think when something like this happen they should have not only a suspension but also monetary wise enforce a penalty. Maybe take the purse of the fighter to the other fighter.

A fight is 10% physical and 90% mental.

I want to use every second of my life, every time that I have in my life, to make me a better fighter. That's why I'm a martial artist. For me, it's more than a job - it's a way of living

There is a difference between a fighter and a martial artist. A fighter is training for a purpose: He has a fight. I’m a martial artist. I don’t train for a fight. I train for myself. I’m training all the time. My goal is perfection. But I will never reach perfection.

To fight a bigger guy you need to train with bigger guys and it takes a lot more on your body. And it's not your weight class.
