I'd most prefer to be a free agent and fight up to six times a year, but that is unlikely.

Sooner or later, the time comes when a man has to think on the health. I had a really long and great career, and I believe I left a deep mark in the martial arts. I have no regrets.

Even though I didn't do as well in the UFC as the rest of my career, I feel like I did everything that I could to have an overall successful career.

Frank Mir is gonna be my toughest fight in my UFC career. It won't be easy.

It is so cool to live with inspiration.

Shakespeare shows you what it is possible to do in English as a writer - but also shows you that you might as well give up. As it's all been done before and hundreds of years ago. So I have had that long-standing relationship of oppression and inspiration.

I'm a transactional lawyer, which involves a lot of negotiation. If nothing else, that's given me a good eye for human motivation and frequent case studies in peculiar psychological quirks. I think that's served me fairly well as a writer.

You must never give up and have faith in yourself.
