I want to go out there and be clean in my performances and showcase great knockouts.

Every day, I need to get better. I need to get stronger. I need to get faster.

To take what I have, they're going to have to have more than skill and technique. It's a lot of heart, a lot of determination. That's just who I am. I'm not messing around out there. I'm not giving it away.

Everyone's out there trying to take what's mine, and they're going to have to fight me for it.

Woodley has tremendous athleticism, brings a lot of technique - well-rounded fighter.

My coaches do all the breakdowns of my opponents, and I leave that up to them.

I don't worry about who they're putting in front of me. Why would I? That's just nonsense for me to waste my energy.

It's all about being sharp and not taking too much damage. That's always the game plan.

I don't like going to decisions. I always try to finish people, knock them out, beat them up, and that's always the game plan.

When St-Pierre retired, it brought a lot of enthusiasm to the weight class, and things got shook up.

I think people appreciate that I've been around so long, and I never gave up on myself and just kept grinding, and eventually I made it to the top.

Winning fires me up.

No one ever wants fight of the night. Every fight I've gone in, I want knockout of the night. I want to be in and out quick. Sometimes, these guys just have a lot of grit - they're highly trained, and I just can't get them out of there, so I get fight of the night.

Adidas is one of the biggest companies in the world. To have a company like that, a mainstream company, a major sports company, to say they want me, it's awesome.

I always believed in myself, and even in the bad times, when I'd do bits of greatness here and there, it was those kinds of things that kept me alive and helped me to get to where I am now.

I've always loved to fight. I love what I do, and that is why I've been doing it for so long. I really enjoy fighting and competing at a high level. I love getting in there and getting after it.

I focus on making sure I'm sharp, and it doesn't matter who I am fighting. I need to perform at my best and try to elevate my game to the highest level I possibly can, so that is what I concentrate on doing.

It's nice that fans want to see me fight. It definitely helps and gets everyone excited. It gets the UFC excited, and they are quick to put me back in there. But I really just focus on myself and getting ready to fight.

I don't really think about or pay any mind to what everyone thinks about my fighting style or if they watch me fight; I just concentrate on myself.

Sometimes when you are winning, you don't see your flaws; you don't see what you are not good at.

Even when you lose, you get better. Sometimes when you lose, you win.

Sometimes spectacular things look really great, but when push comes to shove come fifth round, the basics, fundamentals and technical aspects are going to come into effect.

Everyone's got an opinion, and not all of them are good ones.

I don't fight for my legacy or for the glory or anything like that. The feedback from the fans is nice, don't get me wrong; it's a good feeling having them - you on their side. But I'm motivated by making a good living for my family, and that's what made me get serious about this.
