If you lose three or four in a row, people start talking about retirement. They are not used to this sport like they are used to tennis. If you take a look at how many times Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer lost, it's all part of the game. Soccer is no different: teams go through bad times and then rise again.

If you have a dream in your life, go hard. It's possible.

I think we both matured together in this sport, so I think fight between Michael Bisping and myself would mean a lot.

Separating your profession from friendship is very difficult.

The way I stand and my posture really complicates my opponents; they don't understand it and don't know what to do about. The way I stand there in front of them really throws them off.

My father is a master in karate. He always taught me the philosophy of Karate. When I'm talking about philosophy, I mean respect to willpower, self confidence. Those qualities, I think it's very important, not just for fighting, but for any person.

I focus on my opponents the same way whether they are a champion or not.

Right after my fight against Luke Rockhold, I had surgery on my left hand. I just took out some fragments from back then. Too many training, and I had some fragments in my hand.

I feel that not only have I been out there promoting my style of karate, but just promoting the traditional martial arts, and it makes me very happy.
