Fights aren't won in the octagon, they're won in the months leading up to them, in a near-empty gym, in the lost hours of a day, whether I feel like it or not.

That's the way to go. People say: 'Oh, he doesn't want to come back, he's scared,' and it's to play with your brain, to play with your mind. I'm not scared of nobody. I'm not scared of no human being. I'm scared to fight, every time I fight I'm scared, but I'll bite into my mouthpiece and I'll walk the walk.

For me, personally, when I'm afraid of something - when you're afraid of something, normally you try to go away, you try to avoid it. Instead of avoiding it, to overcome your fear, I believe you need to embrace it.

It’s OK to get butterfly in your stomach; the key is to learn how to make them fly in formation.

Fighting is about knowledge, knowledge is a very important part of it.

What happens when you accept and embrace your fear? Fear becomes your weapon.

I'm so busy during my everyday, when I go on vacation I need to pull the plug like they say, and to do nothing.
