All through my life, I have been tested. My will has been tested, my courage has been tested, my strength has been tested. Now my patience and endurance are being tested.

I started out making $4 for my first fight, but imagine paying $25,000 for a painting...look at me!

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

I'm the best. I just haven't played yet.

Wisdom is knowing when you can't be wise.

Impossible is nothing.

I would like to say that I am not an apostle of the Muslim religion.
