If you count all fights like everybody else does, including Rickson, who says he has 400 fights; if you count like that, I have a million.

I created a flag from the sport's dignity. I oversee the name of my family with affection, steady nerves and blood.

I don't defeat my opponents, they defeat themselves.

A real jiu-jitsu fighter does not go around beating people down. Our defense is made to neutralize aggression.

For the choke, there are no 'tough guys'

Usually, a well thought answer makes an aggressor think twice.

Jiu-jitsu is personal efficiency to protect the weaker, which anyone can do. It is the force of leverage against brute force.
