I started doing martial arts since I was 12, and then I went into wrestling in college. After I met John Hackleman, I started getting really serious about it, and after a few amateur fights, I got an invite to the UFC and have been in love with it ever since.

I play fantasy football every year.

I do some weightlifting, a lot of different weight stuff, strength and conditioning stuff, a little bit of everything.

I'm not an emotional fighter.

I eat more when I'm not training as much. But I get in the gym, and when I feel my gut, I try to eat healthy for some of my meals.

I grew up while I was in college. I learned how to take care of myself. I learned how to prioritize things. I learned how to get things done.

I was the guy that would cram for everything, so I guess I was a bit of a slacker. I was a procrastinator. I spent a lot of all-nighters getting ready for tests.

Numbers have always come easy to me.

Mountain Dew was my favorite drink through college; it kept me up studying for a lot of tests.

I've got a puncher's chance against anybody.

Someone said Anderson Silva and GSP would be a $12 million fight. I told people that for $12 million, I'd fight them both right now. At the same time. People took that as 'He's going to fight again.' It was a joke. But if you came up with $12 million, yeah, of course I will fight again.

People still thank me for the stuff I did for this sport, and I appreciate everything people say.

The fans have been really good to me. I thank everyone for all the support.

Aldo needed to feel McGregor out. Coming right at him ran into McGregor's game. I thought he'd start by taking him down and confuse him a little. Maybe he had all that stuff planned, but one combo, and Aldo got caught. That happens, especially with a guy as talented and precise and full of power as Conor.

I don't change my style for anybody.

I hate hearing in a UFC corner, 'You won the first four rounds; just stay away from him this round.'

I've never been intimidated by anyone.

Everyone says I drive like my grandfather, but that's not always a good thing because he didn't always watch the road because he'd talk to you and look at you. He was a deputy sheriff, a cop, for a long time. So he was always looking around, checking out other things, other than what's directly in front of him.

I'd like to have all of my losses back. But it's too late for that.

I eat a balanced diet.

I basically follow a modified Zone Diet. I have my food prepared weekly and eat 6 times a day.

I was in 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' with Jack Nicholson. That was fun. I think I made, like, $33 or something. I got to miss a whole day of school, and when you're a little kid, that's cool.

For me, tag team wrestling will always hold a special place in my heart and I do wish it could have been highlighted more.

Tag team wrestling is what put myself, Edge, the Hardys and the Dudleys all on the map. It made us into WWE superstars, and without that, I don't think that my singles career would have gone to the places it went to.
