I'm a professional, and I focus on one fight at a time.

I'm not gonna change my principles. I'm not gonna change anything just to make money.

As a professional, I get in a dilemma between sport and entertainment. There's these two sides.

My way of thinking is like that: always positive.

Mousasi is a very tough fighter.

I don't fight without being prepared, even when I lose.

Every time you step into a different cage, you can feel the difference.

Fighting in Bellator is a dream come true for me.

At middleweight, I started to find an ideal weight for me. I face guys my size, my height, and with my physique.

Every fight has taught me something.

Learning is constant. I learn something new every day.

I try to learn from my losses, see how they can help me in the future.

I won't cling to the past.

Rafael Carvalho deserves a lot of respect and seriousness in my camp.

If you want something, you can get it.

Your technique, your drive - that's what you should carry with you.

For sure, Jacare would be a great opponent. I have all the respect for him, but I would like a lot to have the opportunity of facing him someday.

Every fight is a new story, a new training camp.

I never underestimate anybody.

A fight is a fight, and you never know what is going to happen until you start fighting.

I want to be the middleweight champion.

It's not my style to talk trash to my opponents.

I believe in me.

I loss that fight to Phil Davis, but I'm not convinced on that fight. Because it wasn't fair for me. I'd like to do another fight.
