Be passionate, be optimistic, be grateful.
I don’t feel negative emotions. I feel calm, composed and ready. And as it goes on I get better at it. By the time the fight is on, I don’t feel any emotions at all.
Every little detail to every little movement must be perfect. Perfection in movement.
I’ve read a lot of books on the laws of attraction, and in my home I have a big book on Muhammad Ali, which I’ve read, because he is like a hero of mine, but other than that, no, I’m not a big reader.
I mean I love movement. I mean the energy that comes from the way I move. We get energy from how we move. I mean the control I get from knowing everything about how my body feels and how it is working.
Real champions fight through adversity.
Think street, train sport.
One thing I believe that’s a key to success is to celebrate your surroundings.
Movement for me is meditation.
There are two things I really like to do: whoop ass and look good. I’m doing one of them right now and on Saturday night, I’m doing the other.
Wherever it goes is my best position. Wherever it goes I am comfortable.
Know yourself, to know others.
Face adversity head on in your training and you will conquer it smoothly in your fight.
I work hard and fight easy.
Speed is the essence of war.
We’re not just here to take part, we’re here to take over.
There's no talent here, this is hard work. This is an obsession. Talent does not exist, we are all equal as human beings. You could be anyone if you put in the time. You will reach the top, and that is that. I am not talented, I am obsessed.
I believe in myself so much that nothing is going to stop me.
Do I hate my opponents? How can I hate someone who has the same dreams as me?
It’s not really that much big of a deal – you brush it off and you come back. Defeat is the secret ingredient to success.
My success isn’t a result of arrogance. It’s a result of belief.
