I don't watch the news, I don't care about politics, I don't care about other sports.
I studied every move, I became fascinated by thinking what I could have done differently. And I take that approach now as a professional. I am on it, all the time, never stop thinking, learning. You don't get to be world champion unless you do that.
I hold no emotions while I am in there... in there it is just calm and creative.
Speed is the essence of war.
Movement is meditation. Move to win.
I think I am the greatest fighter in any class.
I always think street but train sport.
If people want to believe in this god, or that god, that's fine by me, believe away.
Every little detail to every little movement must be perfect. Perfection in movement.
Getting enough protein is important when I train, to help build muscle and recover, so I'll supplement with protein shakes.
Wherever it goes is my best position. Wherever it goes I am comfortable.
I don't just want the belt, I want every one of their heads on a plate.
I don't feel negative emotions. I feel calm, composed and ready. And as it goes on I get better at it. By the time the fight is on, I don't feel any emotions at all.
Golf isn't a sport, it's a game. I'm not saying it's not a difficult game, with lots of mental stuff. But it's not a sport like mine. Where is the combat, the intensity of what we do?
Victorious. I feel that is why I did all the training, why I make the sacrifices, that is why I got into the shape I am in. I feel I have won, that's millions more coming my way, I feel great.
I feel it when I need to train and I do what I feel like I need to do. I don't get obsessed with one style or one skill.
You don't get to be world champion unless you do that.
In general, I like the healthy stuff and don't really have a problem with any of it.
The surface below your feet is so special. It is not like a boxing ring, not like a wrestling mat, it's its own thing, and when I am there, I am floating, I am moving with total freedom, I am free. And when you know, when you just know you are going to win, like I do, there is no better feeling.
I've read a lot of books on the laws of attraction, and in my home I have a big book on Muhammad Ali, which I've read, because he is like a hero of mine, but other than that, no, I'm not a big reader.
There's people that focus on the game and forget about the art. There's that specific special individual that can do both.
Whoever said it's tough at the top is talking absolute sh*t.
Late switches are part of fighting and I've handled them all.
I try to eat healthy all the time. I don't eat takeaways. I drink mostly water or coconut water.
Boxing is going to have to catch up with the kind of things UFC is doing. They're getting left behind.
