I just have to fight my style of fight, which is a lot of pressure.

When I train, I train well.

I think Mark Hunt just has that knockout power, and that's pretty much it.

I think if something's wrong with me, I just kind of work through it. That's my mentality.

In training, I felt like my body would switch one way, but my leg would kind of stay in one direction. So I kind of felt like it wasn't stable.

I am listening more to my body and maintaining it.

I would go into practice pushing the body despite any injuries. It's a good thing but a bad thing. It's good because your body is quick to adapt, but it's a bad thing because you are forcing your body, and it can't recover as well.

The mentality is nonstop, to work for what you want, your mind keeping your body in the best shape possible.

I just deal with what's at hand.

In wrestling, I was always competing against bigger guys.

You have to set up the right technique to get that takedown. It can't just be any shot. You have to really set it up.

You always try to make your teammates better. You help out your teammates, and they help you out in return. As they get better and better, they can help you more and more. At least, I've always seen it that way.

The hardest fights I've had have been in the gym, not in the cage. It keeps you motivated. One day, you'll go in and feel like you can beat anybody in the world. The next day, you kind of get humbled. That's what keeps us coming back to train more and more.

I feel great being the first Mexican heavyweight UFC champion.

I'm always trying to get better. There's always room for improvement.

I wasn't thinking that I was going to go through my career undefeated. You expect to lose sometimes.

I'd like to give some attention to my family, hang out with them for a little while. They definitely deserve it.

I'm really proud of my coaches and the people I have training with me.

I'm still in the gym every day for training, putting in the same hard work every week. That's the only way I know how to do it.

I fight with a lot of heart.

I represent hardworking people. That's who raised me. That's who I grew up around.

Seeing Mexicans in the media is rare. Seeing role models on TV is rare. So who do we look up to? We're not seen on football fields or basketball courts. So we look up to fighters; they're Mexican. They are out there fighting, representing their people, and winning champions. We look up to them.

My experience here at the WWE Performance Center has been amazing. I'm just looking forward to being here and learning as much as I can the time that I'm here. I've been a fan of the sport since I was a little kid, and now I get to participate in it.

Both my parents came into the United States from Mexico.
