I don't train to be an All-American. I train to be the best.
— Colby Covington
I don't ever cross the line. I step right up to it. I put my toes on the line, but I don't ever cross that line. There are some barriers you just don't cross - you don't talk about religion; you don't talk about race. Those are lines I will never cross.
I'm not a yes man. When the UFC says, 'Jump,' I'm not saying, 'How high,' because that's not fair to me.
You have to have a character; you have to build your character. If you understand the pro wrestling scheme of things, then you understand what the promoting is. These guys are friendly backstage, but as soon as the cameras turn on, it's a whole different story: you become that character.
The division needs a guy like me. It's a bunch of good guys, and I'm the only bad guy in the division. There always has to be a bad guy in every movie.
I'm not a liar; I'm a truth teller.
Sao Paulo is a dump. That's a known fact.
Nothing about Ben Askren impresses me. He's a one-dimensional fighter. He's never hurt a fly.
It's going to be an easy fight when I finally get my hands on Tyron Woodley.
I'm the super villain of the whole entire UFC.
I dominate, and I break guys' wills. When they come to fight me, they know they're going to be in for a fight, and it's going to be a test of wills.
I'm a completely evolved fighter.
There's no one in the division that can beat me; not even the champion can beat me.
I say a lot of truth, and I say something because I mean it.
I don't care about people's feelings, and I'm triggering people worldwide.
Brazil is a dump.
Ricardo Liborio is a joke.
Sprinkle in a bit of pro wrestling in MMA is good. You get the fans talking. They want that drama.
I say what a lot of people want to say but can't say. I'm just a voice of the people.
I'm the only fighter to ever go to the White House and meet with a sitting president.
My schtick is trolling people. I love getting a rouse out of people and making them angry.
I'm all about Trump.
The difference between me and Tyron Woodley is that Tyron Woodley fights nervous; he fights scared. He doesn't wanna get tired, so the thing with Tyron Woodley is that he doesn't know how to push the pace. He doesn't have cardio. He doesn't have heart. He has a heart, but he doesn't have heart. There's a difference.
If you have a sleeping disorder, just get TyQuil: Tyron Woodley, the gossip girl.
GSP, that little syrup sucker, he can come get this. He thinks he's the greatest welterweight of all time. I have something else to say about that. I'll destroy him.
I don't think about the negative in my life. I just think about the positives.
The guys at Team Alpha Male, they're my friends. I have a lot of respect for those guys.
I feel like I'm a very dominant fighter.
In my mind, I do have a lot higher wrestling than Woodley. We've wrestled before, and it wasn't competitive, and that's honest.
Brazil hates me. Oh, big deal. Cry me a river, build a bridge, and walk over it.
I've got a lot of respect for Brazil.
I'm a bad person.
There's always going to be cliques - everywhere you go, there's gonna be cliques; there's gonna be people that gravitate towards each other.
At the end of the day, we're professional prizefighters - stop acting like street thugs. We're not going to fight in the streets.
Super villains and bad guys win in real life.
The UFC thinks they run off their brand, but that's not true. The UFC runs off the fighters, so hopefully, these fighters take notice and how I'm going about my business.
I know I'm going to lose friends, and I'm going to go on the road less traveled with less people. But at the end of the day, I'm not trying to make friends; I'm trying to make the most money possible.
I'm the king troll: I troll everybody.
My pace alone is unstoppable. No one can keep my pace.
First off, I don't consider Tyron Woodley a teammate. He trains with Duke Roufus; Roufus is in his corner every fight. He's been doing his training camps at Roufusport. He has an ATT affiliate in St. Louis, but OK, whatever. Just because he branded an ATT so he can make some money, and he had an investor, I don't consider that a teammate.
I'm at the top of the UFC mountain.
I live with no regrets.
Everybody wants to watch me.
I was actually born in Sacramento, in Rocklin, which is a suburb of Sacramento. I lived there for the first 8 years of my life.
I like fighting, man. I didn't get into this sport not to fight. I enjoy fighting; I actually enjoy getting in the cage.
I'll fight anyone they put in front of me, man. I'm here to fight and prove that I'm the best in the world.
I always have a reason for why I do something.
Malki Kawa, he doesn't know what he's doing. He doesn't know how to do business.
I've trained hundreds of hundreds of rounds of sparring at American Top Team.
I'm ATT to the bone. I have my close circle of people, my clique - Jorge Masvidal, Mike Brown, Dan Lambert. I'm not friends with everybody. It's a gym, but this is a one-man sport.
