I grew up in front of everyone's eyes in the UFC.

I don't believe in guys waiting for title shots.

The obvious thing is I would love to fight Conor McGregor. We've got some history there, and he won, and people saying he didn't knock me out because of an injury he had. I was injured in the fight, too, so let's test that theory. I want to test that theory.

There's ways to get the right nutrients and eat the food you want and have it taste great.

I think the UFC does a pretty good job of backing me.

Too many cry babies in this game.

You've got to believe in your damn self and do the damn thing, so I'm a big believer in self-belief, man, and going out there and working hard and sacrificing.

I'm not going to get mad over something that I have no control over.

Anybody and everybody's going to get it. I'm not racing through my division. I'm cleaning it out. So if you want two L's, you're going to get two L's, and if you're looking for one, come fight 'Blessed.'

I'm a family guy, I've got a beautiful wife, a beautiful son, and I couldn't be happier.

I'm a true believer in, people only remember you for your last fight.

When I start running my mouth, I start running facts. I start giving guys numbers. I start giving guys ideas of where I come from and where I work.

I just want to be dominant.

Every time I go in, me and my time, we're 0-0, and we're looking to become 1-0.

If you want to fight the best, you come fight Blessed.

When I was finishing guys, the media was on me like crazy.

I ain't trying to run away from no danger. If it's supposed to be dangerous for me, then I'm going to go and take a peek. I want to go and look and see what's so dangerous about it.

I'll do what I like. It's my own life.

I'm not going to change me just for some extra money.

You want to be a part of the big card. You want to be part of history.

I got to fight the greatest-of-all-time in my weight division - not once but twice. I was watching this guy when I was 16 years old when I first started kickboxing. I wanted to fight Aldo in a kickboxing match. A couple years later, I came to MMA and wanted to fight him. 10 years later, I got to fight the man twice.

You got to keep your feet on the ground, and it is what it is.

It's what kings do. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best.

These guys are playing checkers. I'm out here playing chess. When they figure it out, it's too late.
