That's the biggest act of cowardice, faking injuries.
If they're not the toughest fights I can get, then give me a complete washup, someone that'll be an easy payday. But I'd rather have the toughest fights I can get so I can get to the title the fastest way possible.
Over everything, over friendships or anything, is my kids - and obviously fighting for that belt is my kids' future. It doesn't sound too nice, but if my mom had the belt, she better give it up because my kids gotta eat. If I'm willing to fight my mom, imagine a good friend.
I could sit down and give USADA my opinions on it, but I want to say they've done a great job. Guys like me are shining because of USADA.
I used to be a 55er, Conor used to be a 45er. I'm naturally a 70 pounder, Conor's probably a natural 55er. I'm a small 70 pounder though and Conor's a decent-sized 55er so the size is not that much. It's not incomparable.
I'm not the type of dude who kicks somebody when they're down.
Usually with my opponents, I don't care if they win the lottery or they die.
The main reason I'm in this sport is not to run mouths and make posts on Twitter and stuff. It's to compete.
I've got more mat hours than most of the guys who are grapplers got on the mat.
My coaches know when it's a big fight, I'm at the gym because if they give me some pretender, another actor, I might not take it.
I've been fighting professionally since I was 18, and I've been doing three or four fights a year, just doing camp after camp.
Man, I never got to fight a ranked opponent at 155, and that wasn't because I wasn't winning.
I came to 170 and I got motivated and finally they started giving me ranked opponents.
My job is to hit somebody until the referee pulls me off.
I get along just fine with Woodley. He's actually showed me a lot things in the past, and I've worked with him in the past training to help him get ready to fight. There's no hard feelings if me and hit had to scrap.
You don't spit on people, especially people's corners.
I've had to prove myself beyond that street-fighter image with some people in the UFC. It has a stigma to it.
I got kicked out of school... I caused a lot of turbulence throughout those years.
I don't want any up-and-coming guys. I want someone that's established already, that's good.
I don't want to fight no up-and-coming guy, no guy that's 15-0 but hasn't faced anybody yet.
