I think everyone has something special. I respect all my opponents. I've learned something from all my fights.

I don't want to talk trash about somebody: I want to prove it inside the cage.

When you're a true fighter, you fight everyone.

Imagine Chael Sonnen walking into Chute Boxe and training with Wanderlei Silva, Anderson Silva, or any of the coaches. Do you think they would have let him train after all the things he said about Brazil? No. They would have defended Brazil's honor.

In reality, we can only talk about things that we already overcame in our minds.

When I started training, I learned a lot, you know - respect. I think you learn a lot of things, and kids should learn mixed martial arts for discipline.

As a World Champion, it is important that you face the #1 contender. That is what makes it sport and not entertainment; otherwise, what are the girls fighting at 145 lbs. training to work towards if they know they will never be given a title shot, even if they become the best in the world?

If Amanda Nunes truly wants an opportunity at the 145-lb. belt, a win against any ranked contender in that division would help establish her back in a weight class she left before fighting me.

I think Ronda's biggest fear was losing to me, so if we were to do it in WWE, she would have to win. I don't have such a big ego, but if we were to put on a show for the fans, something like that, no problem.

If my boss and my company loves working with me, we're gonna have a lot of success together.

If I don't have a division in the UFC, I'm going to go to another company like Rizin or Bellator or another organization where they have my division.

Gina Carano is a great athlete, and I'd be happy if she returns to MMA - doesn't matter if it's against Ronda.

Obviously I'm going to have haters.

I think God wants the best for me.

God has good plans for me.

I always live my life for God.

In God I trust, so I'm kept going and kept training to follow my dream.

I'm proud to know that I never needed an event to promote me, and I never had to lie about anyone.

I'm known worldwide for my talent and my team, Chute Boxe.

Holly Holm was a boxer for a long time, and Leslie Smith comes from muay thai. It's different. Holly is more defensive, while Leslie comes forward.

People say what they want in interviews, but when they get a contract, they say other things.

I think if you are champ, you shouldn't choose your opponents.

If you hold the belt, you have to fight anybody.

I never choose my opponents, but I think the biggest fight that everybody wants to watch, the fans want to watch, is me and Ronda.
