And honestly, I'm not being cocky, I'm not talking trash, but anybody who beat me would have to get lucky. Nobody is just going to out-technique me.

I've been through Strikeforce, UFC now, but I never leave fights busted up.

I've got two little girls, I've gotta do my best by them.

There's no easy fights in the UFC.

Henri Hooft is a master on the feet when it comes to striking.

Greg Jones, you don't get any better than that when it comes to wrestling. I actually looked up to him when I was in college.

I've been around. I've fought in the big fights.

Everybody wants to come out here and test my cardio but I'm one of the hardest working guys in the division.

I'm a smart guy, I like to think of myself as a smart guy, but sometimes I go out there and do a lot of dumb stuff.

I like to be aggressive, I like to finish fights.

I still wanna keep my aggressive ways and let my skills be on display.

No disrespect to Whittaker, I know I can beat him.

If I hit anybody with that left hook, they're going down.

When you have a fighter who's been punched a lot and been knocked out a lot of times, they're not going to be able to recover. They're going to look like they were knocked out.

The fans want to see more. They're there to see fights, they want to see more, they want to see people get put unconscious, whatever. But you can't get put in those spots.

Anderson's been here the longest, he brought our sport to the forefront. He's been around, and yeah, I've always been a fan and I've always enjoyed his fighting style.

I want to have a big year. A big year, big fights, big contract, big money, big everything. 2017 is definitely my year.

Dream fights are just what fans are talking about. We need to see fights that people are actually supposed to see.

I've changed up my training over the years; I don't lift weights as much as I used to, so I'm built for the cardio now.

I'm a firm believer that I'll make fights happen, get the fights done.

The UFC is where the best in the world fight at. You got some of the best fighters all across the world. It's the top organization.

Uriah Hall is on the level of Anderson Silva's striking.

Uriah Hall is just a dynamic striker. He mixes it up well on his feet, that's where I expect him to be good at.

I messed up my eyes. It's funny, I was training and we thought I had a mild concussion. But you know, I was out in Albuquerque and I would train from 9:30 to 11:00 and then I would rest all day long until 5:00 and I'd be playing on my phone, so I was playing on my phone and it scrambled my fore-vision.

I've always been a clean fighter, always lifting weights.

I've got good jiu-jitsu skills, good wrestling, good ground and pound, good power on my feet, good strikes.

I'm not like hurting by any means, but I'm not really, you know, let me say, I'm not really cool with doing fighting just to break even.

When I grab guys in the clinch, it's very tough for them to get away and I'm pretty good with my Greco takedown.

They want to lube their body up really good to make it hard to grab hold; Anderson did a great job defending my takedowns. It's because he was all greased up, so he was able to stop a lot of them.
