QUOTES BY Demetrious Johnson


Each time I'm training and sparring, I'm always pushing myself to submit my training partners.

MMA has the rudest, most negative, dumbest, ignorant fans in the world - but it also has the most passionate fans in the world.

I don't care if my opponents are cheating or not.

That's the beautiful thing about mixed martial arts - and I'll tell people that - you have to think outside of the box.

I'm not going to go out there and have these slugfests, but I'll go out there and dominate my opponent. That's what I do in my fight.

I worked a full-time job at a place call Caraustar. We recycle paper, then through recycled paper, we take it and we make V board out of it. If you buy a TV, a new couch, you see these little V boards that make like a V.

I always loved playing video games. It was something my mom did, and my sister played as well.

I can eat whatever I want, and I don't get over 145 pounds. A lot of the guys who fight at 125 pounds, they get pretty big, and when it gets closer to the fight, they're walking around at 135 pounds. For me, I try to stay the same weight I typically walk around at.

I think the reason I'm the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world is I beat everyone in my division.
