I have a Plan B, Plan C, but my Plan A is working, so I'll keep doing that.
— Junior dos Santos
I love Adele.
I'm always thinking to myself about getting the belt back.
My coach used to tell me I've got pretty heavy hands, so I try to use them at the start of the fight because it's a good time to use my power because I'm 100% in the moment.
I'm chasing my goals, and I haven't been able to make things happen the way I want them to happen. It doesn't feel good, but the answer is simple: I just have to work hard and to focus on cutting down the number of mistakes I make.
Daniel Cormier is a different champion. He has achieved some amazing things in his career, and for me, it would be very nice to be facing him.
If I put things together inside the Octagon, I have everything to be No.1 in the world.
I am not a cheater.
Jon Jones is amazing; he's so confident. He uses his elbows very well, and I think he's a great talent.
Considering myself as a true number one in the UFC, I think Cain Velasquez is the number two.
I say it all the time: it's different when two heavyweights, especially when they are the size of Ben Rothwell, face each other in the Octagon. Even the leather - right in the back seat of the arena, they will be able to hear the sounds of the punches.
I am truth. I was made of truth.
Wladimir, the Klitschkos, they're amazing. I like to watch them fight, especially Wladimir, but it's kind of boring. They are really good at what they do, but they are very careful.
The ground game of Derrick Lewis isn't that good.
This thing where Daniel Cormier wants to fight Brock Lesnar; I know he wants to make money, but it doesn't make any sense. The only one who wants to see that fight or make that fight is him. Nobody else wants to see that.
I'm not worried about trying to guarantee a fight for the belt, because that's automatic; it will happen.
In the beginning of my all my camps, I do just boxing.
I'm an MMA fighter, and I'm really confident in all areas.
I like Katy Perry.
Forget about jiu-jitsu and wrestling - I'm a boxing guy.
He puts on a great show every time he fights, so I enjoy seeing Mark Hunt fighting, and I'm glad he's still fighting; he's 44 and still fighting in a high performance, so it's good to see someone like this always putting on a great show and giving us, MMA fans, these great fights.
If I wanted to eat all the protein I need from food, I would have to eat something like 10 chickens per day. That is impossible.
I have combinations, and I work on my combinations all the time.
The heavyweight division is always very intriguing. These are the heavy hitters, you know? Every time when you do a mistake, it's the end of the fight. So you have to be careful all the time, and this is what makes this division so intriguing, so exciting for the fans.
My game plan is always my punching.
My first MMA fight was July 2006 here in Brazil. I won a few fights here in Brazil, and then I got a chance to fight in the UFC, but they put me against the number one contender for the title at that time. It was Fabricio Werdum.
Fedor is the greatest, no doubt. For me, in a matter of admiration, he is the greatest of all time. He is a heavyweight who beat everybody. He certainly was 'The Baddest Man on the Planet.'
I like to fight here in Europe.
When I had long hair, I used to tie it back, so the guys would say I would look like the 'Gypsy.' I used to hate that, but the less you like a nickname, the more it sticks.
When you become the champion, you become a target.
I actually want to face Daniel Cormier.
I don't care that much about rankings, and that doesn't matter that much in the UFC, too.
I've always done my best inside the Octagon, fought the best there is, and win or lose, I've done my best in my fights.
If you say an athlete doesn't need supplementation, that he can get everything through food, you're wrong.
Miocic hits really hard.
What's the point of fighting in the UFC if it isn't to become the champion?
It's very unusual for me to take a punch.
Winning is the most important thing, especially in this sport, because when you lose in this sport, it's very hard because you go back, and you have to rebuild your chances to fight for the title.
What I really want is to keep myself active.
It's always interesting to see Brock Lesnar fighting - and getting beat.
It's my biggest goal to become champion. I think it's everybody's goal here in the UFC.
Before my career comes my family.
I don't like to use - I never use - any kind of drugs to help me in my fights. I don't like that. I don't like drugs.
I was just want to get some good fights and as many as possible.
I'm a good actor.
I love who I am, and I want to stay in MMA.
You know me: I'm a knockout guy. I'm always looking for the knockout.
Brock Lesnar is a very big guy.
Miocic has that knockout punch. I was completely dizzy a few moments when we fought.
I love to train boxing, and I think I have enough skills in boxing.
