I'm a big Conor McGregor fan. I really am, man. I enjoy him; I like watching him.

In MMA, it's a sport, but it's entertainment, too.

I'm a tank, man.

Let's be honest: material comes and goes.

At the age of 31, I feel like I'm in my prime, baby.

If people think or believe that the flyweight division is boring, man, you're out of your mind.

We're in the entertainment business.

I don't think I'm that boring.

I may do some cringey and crazy things, but for crying out loud, I have Nikki Bella calling me out.

I'm an Olympic champ. I defeated Demetrious Johnson. I defeated T. J. Dillashaw. You think a World Series of Fighting former champ is gonna scare me?

I'm doing my job; I'm fighting for the flyweight division.

I speak three languages. I'm pretty handsome myself.

I'm the cash cow now, man. It's the Cejudo way.

At 125, there's nobody in the world that can match my strength.

I'm a chameleon.

I don't like getting hit.

I really work on my defense a lot; that's what makes me a good fighter.

It's part of the sport, getting hit.

In wrestling, you're talking about a fraternity of champions, and I got a chance to be a part of that Olympic championship club. And anyone that ever won the Olympics in wrestling, there's something different about them.

Everything that I did to win a gold medal, I'm practically transferring it over to mixed martial arts.

I always wanted to become a student of the game and at least get six to eight fights before coming to the UFC.

My goal is to become a world champion.

I'm bilingual. I speak English and Spanish.

A wrestler loves to compete. At the end of the day, a wrestler just wants to compete.

The thing that people don't know about me - I actually boxed amateur for a few years.

I took my time with the sport of MMA. I wrestled, won the Olympics. I boxed for years.

I'm a big fan of Jon Jones.

My parents are from Mexico City.

It's up to the UFC, but I'll fight whomever, whenever. Minus maybe Vegas.

I don't want people to think I'm a wrestler.

I'm ready for anybody. If it's John Dodson, if it's Demetrious Johnson, if it's Joseph Benavidez, I'm ready for whichever one, whoever wants a piece of me.

I'm a competitor; I love to compete.

In the year 2013, I fought six times. I fought four times in two-and-a-half months.

I have really heavy muscle.

In Mexico, I want to be known as the Aztec Warrior.

If anything, I get better throughout the rounds.

Sometimes when you think something is shiny and gold, it tends to be rusted and bronze, but that's just the way it is, man.

Spanish is actually my first language, growing up, and I understand the culture. I understand the culture; I understand what the people want.

I'm a warrior.

The reason why I got into mixed martial arts is the competition: I'm a competitor. I wouldn't be doing this for anything else but competition. I want to take out the best.

I've actually picked up a lot of good habits from just watching film from Demetrious Johnson.

Being humbled is a good thing.

The general public, they get bored. There's no interest because they think, or they know, Demetrious Johnson will always win. And I've always said, even after that loss to Demetrious Johnson, even after he beat me, I said I felt him a little bit. I still believe I can beat him, even after being knocked down the first round.

I'm a very detailed fighter. I'm very detailed.

I study myself. I study film, and I make sure that everything's on point.

I have a purpose and a meaning in life, and I have to fulfill that. Being a champion is great, but more importantly than that, you get to be an inspiration and a role model to other people.

I'm not an emotional person.

I'm actually really good friends with Gray Maynard.

When I think of a world class wrestler, I think of Mo Lawal.

I remember reading the book 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad,' and I remember writing my goals down, and my number one goal in life was just to be a good husband and a good father someday. That was number one, as a 17-year-old kid.
