I was in 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' with Jack Nicholson. That was fun. I think I made, like, $33 or something. I got to miss a whole day of school, and when you're a little kid, that's cool.

I basically follow a modified Zone Diet. I have my food prepared weekly and eat 6 times a day.

I eat a balanced diet.

I'd like to have all of my losses back. But it's too late for that.

Everyone says I drive like my grandfather, but that's not always a good thing because he didn't always watch the road because he'd talk to you and look at you. He was a deputy sheriff, a cop, for a long time. So he was always looking around, checking out other things, other than what's directly in front of him.

I've never been intimidated by anyone.

I hate hearing in a UFC corner, 'You won the first four rounds; just stay away from him this round.'

I don't change my style for anybody.

Aldo needed to feel McGregor out. Coming right at him ran into McGregor's game. I thought he'd start by taking him down and confuse him a little. Maybe he had all that stuff planned, but one combo, and Aldo got caught. That happens, especially with a guy as talented and precise and full of power as Conor.

The fans have been really good to me. I thank everyone for all the support.

People still thank me for the stuff I did for this sport, and I appreciate everything people say.

Someone said Anderson Silva and GSP would be a $12 million fight. I told people that for $12 million, I'd fight them both right now. At the same time. People took that as 'He's going to fight again.' It was a joke. But if you came up with $12 million, yeah, of course I will fight again.

I've got a puncher's chance against anybody.

Mountain Dew was my favorite drink through college; it kept me up studying for a lot of tests.

Numbers have always come easy to me.

I was the guy that would cram for everything, so I guess I was a bit of a slacker. I was a procrastinator. I spent a lot of all-nighters getting ready for tests.

I grew up while I was in college. I learned how to take care of myself. I learned how to prioritize things. I learned how to get things done.

I eat more when I'm not training as much. But I get in the gym, and when I feel my gut, I try to eat healthy for some of my meals.

I'm not an emotional fighter.

I do some weightlifting, a lot of different weight stuff, strength and conditioning stuff, a little bit of everything.

I play fantasy football every year.

I started doing martial arts since I was 12, and then I went into wrestling in college. After I met John Hackleman, I started getting really serious about it, and after a few amateur fights, I got an invite to the UFC and have been in love with it ever since.

I do genuinely dislike Tito Ortiz, and I don't have anything to prove to him.

I've never found that getting physical is ever the best response in a bar. You just have to make sure you keep your distance, and if it gets to a point where it gets aggressive, then the best thing to do is go get a bouncer and get the situation resolved intelligently.

Train hard, get good coaching, and don't forget that its mixed martial arts. Don't get tied into one style of fighting, and focus on multiple disciplines.

I think some of the most important exercises are all the core exercises that you can do to maximize training in certain areas of your body.

When I'm training for a fight, I work out two or three times a day for five days a week.

I try to take two weeks off after a fight and then get back to working out four or five times a week.

I try to stay in shape and am always consistently working out.

When I'm training at home, I have five meals for the day that I just heat up. It's all planned, and that's what I eat.

You can actually find a lot of gyms that do teach mixed martial arts. But it's just like with any martial art - you've got to look at the coaches, go watch some classes, see how people treat each other and how the coaches treat the students.

You have to learn your own details before you can teach them.

If I weren't fighting, I'd be in the business world.

I did well in school, was the captain of the wrestling team and the football team, and always got along well with people, so I'm sure I would have gotten a job in the real world. I probably wouldn't have liked that, though.

There's nobody in the world I wouldn't fight.

Every time I win, I prove something: I'm the best guy in the world at what I do.

Dancing is a lot lower-impact than ultimate fighting, but it takes a lot longer, and I burn the same amount of calories.

I have absolutely no dancing background. I think I took one swing class when I was in college, with a friend of mine. I think I went twice.

I think, as a fighter, I kept improving. My movements improved, my accuracy improved.

My grandpa never got to see me fight. He always thought that I was the best in the world. He always told me that.

I have a great time with the kids. I'm always happy when they're around.

I'm one of those guys: I'm out there trying to punch you out and to hurt you, but as soon as I'm done, hopefully there's nothing wrong with you; I'm hoping that you're okay.

I'm a fighter, and I'll always be a fighter, and it's what I love to do.

I don't read a lot of MMA news. I try to stay out of it.

I come from a wrestling background but don't really use it in most of my fights.

I don't ever go into a fight wanting to hurt someone. I just want to show them that I am better than them, and if they get hurt, it's part of the sport.

We run on the beach some days, and others, we run hills behind the gym. We also do several hours of grappling each week as mixed with some intense cardio in the ring.

When it comes to damage, boxing will cause more damage than MMA ever will.

I never expected it, but I've gotten paid a lot to do what I love. There are no complaints.

The most excited you'll ever see me is after knocking a guy out.
