Any UFC fighter, and any fighter going into the boxing ring and can do what they do in the UFC, nine out of 10 won't be victorious and vice-versa, with a boxer coming from - even myself - coming over to that field will be a fish trying to be in a jungle and survive. It's not going to happen.

If I can create an atmosphere to make my job easier and your confidence less, why not?

Protect yourself at all times. It's what I talk to school kids and college kids about when I do my seminars. I'm not just talking about in the ring. Protect yourself at all times.

If you get your body right, you get your mind right, whatever you do, you have a fighting chance, and you have a chance to be victorious.

In the media, they're always talking about money. I'm not denying that it plays a role, but everything has to be in its right place.

Service to others seems the only intelligent choice for the use of wealth.

Everybody on my street was broke, running around with no shoes on. We didn't have money, but we played tag, we talked. It was great.

I keep threatening to write a non-fantasy book, and they keep offering me the kind of money I can't refuse to write a fantasy. That's a good thing. I have to pay my mortgage, and I have to pay for my Chargers season tickets.
