I don't feel that I have to prove anything to anyone as far as what I've done in fighting.
— Anderson Silva
I'm a big fan, and I like the idea of fighting Roy Jones Jr.
A lot of people thought I was gay.
The moment when I broke my leg, when I realized my leg was broken, I thought my career was over.
I'm not scared of Jon Jones or Chris Weidman or whoever. I'm here to fight. That's it. It's simple.
I think everyone deserves their place in this sport, and Bisping has been around, and he's fought hard and deserves to be the champion.
I'm an athlete who took the sport to another level. I don't get or ever got the respect from people.
Not only in the Octagon, but also in life, sometimes I have to take two steps back to take one step forward.
I don't have a problem putting on or cutting weight. I would adapt my training if I'm training for a Light Heavyweight fight by using different techniques and by wearing a weight vest to get used to the extra fighting weight.
I respect my fans.
God bless Neymar because this boy has changed the lives of kids in Brazil. A lot of children watch him, believe they can be the next Neymar. Sometimes, you have a great opportunity to change and impact the lives of kids.
For a long time, I have waited for the opportunity to fight Mr. Roy Jones. This is my personal goal and dream.
Life is about how much you can take and keep fighting, how much you can suffer and keep moving forward.
This is the UFC. UFC has the best fighters in the world. That's it.
I respect all the fighters. I respect Jon Jones. I respect Chris Weidman, but I'm here for working.
I no fight for the money because I work hard for UFC for long time. I have money for my family. But I fight because I love it.
I was really disappointed with the lack of respect from the UFC towards Brazilian athletes.
My teaching is my legacy.
I'm always training to fight the best fighters in the world, and if the UFC wants me to fight Georges St-Pierre, then I will fight him.
I love the sport. I love fighting. Fighting is my life.
I like to play soccer and paintball. I love paintball.
I think I've been through all the phases of the sport. I won, I lost, I got injured. Now I get to do what I love, with my truth, without worrying about what people will say or things like that.
I trained together with Jacare for a long time.
I respect all the fighters. I respect Georges St-Pierre because Georges has a great story in the UFC. I respect all the fighters in here because this is the biggest sport in the world.
I'm a natural born fighter, so this is what I do, and it's normal. It's natural. It's what I've always done as a martial artist, and as a martial artist, it's what I always wanted to do - test myself and always fighting. It's what I'm meant to do.
The fact is that everything I've done, no one else could do. I don't want to be cocky or arrogant or think I'm the best, but what I've tried to do all those years was to show I was different from the others. And that's not my opinion, but everyone's.
I would love to fight my clone.
There are many great fighters in the UFC; some of my favorites are Rodrigo Nogueira, Lyoto Machida, and B. J. Penn, but aside from these guys, the UFC has many great fighters in every division.
Georges St-Pierre is a good fighter who is proving his place in MMA with every fight.
I win for long time. I'm champion for long time - for years.
