As you go in there, you keep winning; after you've had a loss or two, people start to humanize you.

My dad taught me; Mr. Steven Seagal taught me, also.

Every fight is a little bit different.

Chris Weidman is a tough guy; he's well rounded. He's known for being a wrestler. He's very good on the ground. He can knock people out standing up.

I've always worked hard and stayed focused.

My main objective is always the belt.

Right after my fight against Luke Rockhold, I had surgery on my left hand. I just took out some fragments from back then. Too many training, and I had some fragments in my hand.

I like to be busy, especially after I lost against Luke Rockhold. The best way to recover is to get another fight.

If I have a chance, I'd like to fight at 185 pounds.

Sometimes when you chat about something, a few ideas come up, you go this way or that way in training.
