“We're not here just to take part; we're here to take over.”

“I am cocky in prediction, I am confident in preparation but I am always humble in victory or defeat.”

“The featherweights must beg now. They must beg for pardon, beg for forgiveness. If that's the case, if they apologize and beg, I'll leave the division. I won't terrorize them anymore. They can have their division back. They can go back to being on the prelims and I'll go to the lightweight division.”

“I love proving people wrong and proving my supporters right. This is all fun and games to me. I love it. I love my job. I whoop people for truckloads of cash. How could I hate this life? I love it so much. I’m grateful every single day.”

“I make no excuses. It is what is it. I came up short. I took a chance, it didn't pay off. I'll be back.”

“I just want to swing a few lefts and a few rights for a couple of hundred mill in peace.”
