The thing that gets me up in the morning is that I’m really not ready to see someone that I know I can beat holding my belt.

To be a fighter, you have to be passionate. I have so much passion, it's hard to hold it all in. That passion escapes as tears from my eyes, sweat from my pores, blood from my veins.

If you work hard the fight's easy. If you don't work hard then the fight's hard.

For girls it raises your testosterone, so I try to have as much sex as possible before I fight actually. Not with like everybody, I don't put out like a Craigslist ad or anything, but if I got a steady I'm going to be like 'yo, fight time's coming up.

Where is women's sports prominently displayed with the men? Tennis is the only thing I can think of.

It's your purpose to leave the world better than how you found it.

Sports Illustrated is very serious about their covers. They'll never say, like, 'Oh you got it.'
