I don't ever go into a fight wanting to hurt someone. I just want to show them that I am better than them, and if they get hurt, it's part of the sport.

I come from a wrestling background but don't really use it in most of my fights.

I don't read a lot of MMA news. I try to stay out of it.

I'm a fighter, and I'll always be a fighter, and it's what I love to do.

I'm one of those guys: I'm out there trying to punch you out and to hurt you, but as soon as I'm done, hopefully there's nothing wrong with you; I'm hoping that you're okay.

I have a great time with the kids. I'm always happy when they're around.

My grandpa never got to see me fight. He always thought that I was the best in the world. He always told me that.

I think, as a fighter, I kept improving. My movements improved, my accuracy improved.

I have absolutely no dancing background. I think I took one swing class when I was in college, with a friend of mine. I think I went twice.

Dancing is a lot lower-impact than ultimate fighting, but it takes a lot longer, and I burn the same amount of calories.

Every time I win, I prove something: I'm the best guy in the world at what I do.

There's nobody in the world I wouldn't fight.

I did well in school, was the captain of the wrestling team and the football team, and always got along well with people, so I'm sure I would have gotten a job in the real world. I probably wouldn't have liked that, though.

If I weren't fighting, I'd be in the business world.

You have to learn your own details before you can teach them.

You can actually find a lot of gyms that do teach mixed martial arts. But it's just like with any martial art - you've got to look at the coaches, go watch some classes, see how people treat each other and how the coaches treat the students.

When I'm training at home, I have five meals for the day that I just heat up. It's all planned, and that's what I eat.

I try to stay in shape and am always consistently working out.

I try to take two weeks off after a fight and then get back to working out four or five times a week.

When I'm training for a fight, I work out two or three times a day for five days a week.

I think some of the most important exercises are all the core exercises that you can do to maximize training in certain areas of your body.

Train hard, get good coaching, and don't forget that its mixed martial arts. Don't get tied into one style of fighting, and focus on multiple disciplines.

I've never found that getting physical is ever the best response in a bar. You just have to make sure you keep your distance, and if it gets to a point where it gets aggressive, then the best thing to do is go get a bouncer and get the situation resolved intelligently.

I do genuinely dislike Tito Ortiz, and I don't have anything to prove to him.
