Thankfully, hamstring injuries don't take that long to heal.

There's no such thing as a lucky punch. You throw to hurt someone and if you hurt someone, job done.

I used to fight in school. I was a rough, athletic child. I always knew I could fight and, watching UFC, I was always fascinated by it.

That was one of the great moments for me, getting a knockout in front of my home crowd in London.

I always say if you can't knock someone out with four ounce gloves on there is something wrong with you.

Yeah, I call my warrior spirit the lion.

It's been frustrating. Since I've broken into the top five, I've seen the politics of fighters dodging fights, cherry picking fights and this that and the other.

I remember being happy and a little wild kid.

I've learned about every aspect of MMA.

Look at my record - I always bring a finish.

I don't think anyone hits as hard as I do in the light heavyweight division.

I'm not interested in story lines or trash-talk.

It would be great to fight on UFC 200 obviously. It's going to be an historic event but the card is getting full quickly.

When I was ranked No. 11 or 12, they offered me Gustafsson who was the No. 1 contender, and I didn't hesitate. I was No. 10 when I fought Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson who was the No. 1 contender. We accept fights, but not everyone is like that, I'm beginning to find out. It's not right.

On fight day, I usually have peanut butter and porridge in the morning; bananas and a nice fruit salad. Then, as the day goes on, I'll have some carbs.

Now I've got near the top, I can see the games that people play. I thought everyone wanted to fight the best, and earn title shots, but it's not like that.

I know the mistakes I made against Gustafsson and I won't do that again.

From my three loses in my entire career I've always learned from them and came back stronger.

I'm an explosive fighter so I've always got to have that strength, but you've got to mix it with endurance.

At school, I was a lot more advanced compared to the other kids but I didn't like authority and was kicked out for fighting.

I'm a knockout specialist who comes to fight and who's exciting to watch.

I like all styles of MMA, my first classes in the sport were BJJ but I prefer to stand up.

I was introduced to money as a teenager, my friends had nice things. It came naturally to me to try and make money.

When I'm champion, I'll fight the best because I am the best.
