I'm not a frontrunner. I'm a complete fighter.

Just because I haven't fought wrestlers doesn't mean I'm not wrestling in every camp.

I have a pretty high fight IQ.

The champs are the guys who can do it the best, to lock it in for 25 minutes and do what they plan to do.

Destiny doesn't make mistakes.

All weight cuts are hard.

I'm not a small guy.

I want to fight guys I'm excited to watch fight.

Any time Nate Diaz fights, I'm tuning in, I promise you.

My whole career, the ups, the downs, the victories, the defeats, the lessons I've learned and kept rolling, that's what's made me the fighter I am today.

My father was a fighter. My grandfather was a fighter. It's just in my blood.

Fighting is what I do.

My dream is to be the best fighter at 155 pounds in the world.

That grit of fighting is addictive, I'm scared of it. It's a very weird thing.

Seven years is a long time, and seven years of fighting the best guys in the best organization in the world, the biggest organization in the world, it hardens you. You don't stay seven years without evolving. It doesn't happen.

I've said it before, I'm not a matchmaker, I don't call the shots. I just prepare and fight the guys after I sign the contract.

I'm not a matchmaker, I don't know the logic behind the decisions they make.

When I'm in south Florida I'm training, resting, training. I'm working on my craft out here, very tediously. That's what I come out here for.

I'm the kind of guy that grows, and that's what I do everyday in the gym. Work on new stuff and stay relevant.

I think I fought my first fight in Zuffa in 2010.

The way I feel, I'm the best in the world.

I've just been in a lot of big fights, and I've been in some good spots and some bad spots.

Normal pain is no problem, that just comes with the job.

If you're training for a fight, you're going to be pretty much, there's going to be days where you're hurting.
