Just staying healthy, that is true wealth and true happiness.

You have to turn the lemons life gives you into lemonade, and you have to take time to sit back and enjoy it.

Fighting is not what I do - it's who I am. It's what I was meant to do, what I was meant to be. I knew that right after my first MMA practice.

I've convinced myself I'm something special. When you do that, man, you're dangerous, especially when you have the athleticism and work ethic to back it up.

The higher the risk, the higher the reward.

The struggles don't define you. It's how you handle them that determines who you are.

Muhammad Ali was hated, and then he was loved at the very end. Floyd Mayweather was hated, and a lot of people are really coming around on him. So, I'm just trying to stay positive and try not to offend too many people along the way and hope for the best end result.

I'm extremely confident. I do believe my own hype. And I'm working towards making it true.

I often get people that come up to me with the UFC 151 poster with me and Dan on it and ask me to sign it.
