I've already proved I have what it takes to be the champion. I'm right there.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
My parents didn't want me to do this. My dad, when I told him I wanted to wrestle, he told me no, if you're going to play any sports, play baseball.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
USADA is wonderful, I think they're doing a remarkable job, and they do a remarkable job all around the world.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
When you're doing something like wrestling - wrestling is one of the toughest and hardest martial arts to learn - but it's still a form of martial arts. It's still controlled.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
I would love to fight a lot more often, but of course it's the UFC, and whenever they feel that they have an opening, then they can put us in there because there's so many fighters.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
Fighters no longer manage themselves: they have a whole team behind them. A fighter has a manager, an agent, a Hollywood agent - they got this and that. And on top of that, they've got their whole team of coaches.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
The fight game has changed to where it's no longer the toughest is fighting the toughest to be the best on the planet.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
I can't fight forever. Commentating is one of those major things that I definitely feel I want to do and can do.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
I believe that, just naturally, I'm a very soft-spoken person. Everyone tells me that on a daily basis - 'Speak up, we can't hear you,' or 'Elaborate on this.' But that's just how I am.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
I want Dong Hyun Kim. He's a grappler, he's a strong stand-up fighter, and I think that would be a great fight. I think I beat him every and anywhere.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
I always envisioned hearing them say, 'and new,' and wrapping that belt around me and thinking of all the things I was fighting for.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
I believe the UFC was sold based on their performance and the services they've provided, so if a company comes in and buys it, they just bought the blueprints of their success. I believe that WME-IMG bought the UFC because of its structure and success.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
That's why I think that I have a big advantage, because I work on my striking a ton, but I don't forget about my wrestling, what brought me to the dance.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
I recall the hard work that my family went through just to continue to live the lifestyle that we were living, which wasn't by any means a great lifestyle.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
We didn't have running water. We had to get water from wells, and there was a stint where I lived with my grandma where we had to get water, bring it over to the house. You had to boil the water because you never knew what parasites were in the water.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
It's my job to show up, make weight, and prepare to be a world champion if that opportunity presents itself.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
Once Africans realise we can just fight and get paid for it, we can do that and still provide for ourselves and our families and countries? We're going to flood the market.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
There was a time when guys just had a specialty, like boxer or wrestler or jiujitsu guy. Then came guys who could blend taking you down with also being able to kick your head off.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
Crazy things happen in this sport, and you have to be ready. And for me, luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
One of the hardest parts of this game, and what I don't think people understand, is the mental side of it. They think, 'Oh, he's a big, stronger guy.' But let me tell you, and I believe this without question: It's not always the biggest, strongest, meanest, toughest-looking who gets the job done.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
Wrestling definitely shaped the direction of my life because, before that, I wanted to fit in so much. I wanted to be one of the cool cats. I was friends with the captain of the football team because he had all the chicks. I wanted to be that guy.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
I think it's great to have USADA come in and clean up the sport, because what I don't want to do is train my butt off for 10 weeks to prepare for a fight for a limited amount of money to feed my family, then get out there with a guy that maybe put in 3 weeks training and cheated.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
I'd like to think I'm a hybrid to where, if you had to pick, where would you say I'm weak? I can outwrestle guys; I can outgrapple guys. I can put your lights out, and I have a gas tank for days. I can do it all.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
Fighting is just something that's gonna open doors for things to come in the future.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
For what we do training, as a fighter, you have to be able to flip that switch where you turn into that savage, that guy that's prepared to go to war.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
Can anyone tell me what Jon Jones was ranked when he fought for the UFC title? No one knows. I believe, in that aspect, it was easier to get fights back then. It wasn't, 'What's this guy ranked?' You fought, made your money, and went home.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
I believe that I'm not just a fighter in this game; I love to study the sport. And in studying the sport, I believe I have a good eye for the sport, and I'm able to talk about the sport.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
You can't say that I don't have the skills. You can't say that. I have the skills.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
You can't out-wrestle me. You can't out-strike me. You don't have more power than me.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
They say the body is 70 percent water, and you need that water for a reason.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
There comes a time in our careers that you get that one guy. That guy that just makes your blood boil. That really pulls the savage out of you.
Quote by -Kamaru Usman
My thing is, if you're going to talk online, if you're going to come at me with a certain energy, when you see me on-site, keep that certain energy. That's it. That's it. That's all I am.
