If I get a guy that can take my shots and withstand my arsenal for the first round or two, I think you're going to see the best of me coming forward.

My dad was a professional basketball player, and my mom was a hell of a tennis player.

To have the athletes weigh in on a stage, televised, it makes no sense. Holding us at weight to run us through medicals and a staging process, it lengthens the time we're depleting ourselves.

My goal is to keep going out there and defending my belt and stacking up pay cheques to set myself up for the future.

The more I stack, the more things I can buy: the more toys, the more houses, and everything. That's the motivation, but I'm also a competitive person. I need goals, and I need that competition and to drive for something.

When you show me the right contract, I'll sign the right contract.

It's nice to hit and not be hit back.

Aggression has proven to get people in trouble, in many ways, with the champions.

Men back up their words. Little boys run away.

I was supposed to fight a guy back in the day. He didn't shower, specifically to throw off his opponents. Thank God I got injured, and I couldn't fight the fight. I was so worried about it. I was like, 'Oh my God - I heard about this guy.' It was the worst ever.

I've always been a powerful kid.

When I was a kid, when I was first getting excited about the opposite sex, fragrance was the thing. If you look good, you smell good, and you feel good.
