I think a knockout over Elkins will really put me on the radar internationally.

No one is really playing the good guy, but if they want to play the bad guy, I'm ready to play the super hero and take these guys out.

I've always been a respectful kind of guy.

I literally cringe every time I see someone trying to trash talk. Some people just don't have it and they try, and I find that funny.

I just want to work my game and I believe I can do that.

Max is a true champion. I enjoy watching him fight but I want to get that fight. I want it.

I'm actually comfortable a little bit out of range as well. I like to pick my times when to come in. I'm very comfortable in the pocket as well.

No beating around the bush. Give me the guys that are next in line, the guys that deserve it, and let's go.

I'm an easy champion to understand.

I said as soon as I got the belt, I want number one contenders.

I've had staph a few times myself and MRSA.

I've obviously got the brains. I've got the cardio.

Nothing but respect to all the fighters that are in the UFC, but every single one of us wants to prove something. And you know, eventually, I want to prove myself in that lightweight division too.

I'm a freak when it comes to holding on the ground; it's just almost impossible holding me on the ground.

Khabib is one of the GOATs as well. Nothing but respect for the dude. But I'm very, very hard to hold down.

You see what I can use in my range, even with tall people, imagine what I could do to someone half my size.

There are no excuses in fighting. You can be playing a team sport and have a good game, and you can lose. In fighting, it's all on me. If I go out there and lose, then it's my fault. I like that.

I've always loved UFC. I watched it back since the days it wasn't big in Australia at all, and you had to watch a Blockbuster videos. They would always come like a year late, but I tried as many of the live ones I could or wait for the videos to come out. So, I've loved the sport for that long. I've always been into martial arts.

My first four fights in amateur at middleweight, and the first four professional were at welterweight. And I just kind of went down from there.

I played rugby league, I probably played for about 10 years I think, and I wrestled before then. I did about a year of wrestling, and I think I got a bit tired of the tights, so I started to play football with the mates. I used to be a front rower, the big guys up front. I used to be 97 kilograms, which is like 210 pounds, or something like that.

I like to stay active. I'm one of the champions chasing the contenders.

I'm chasing my contenders. I'm talking about that GOAT status.

I've already took out the hardest guys in my division. Back to back we've got Chad Mendes, Aldo, and Max. Stylistically, they were the three hardest fights.

I ain't scared of nobody.
