My opponent is my teacher, my ego is my enemy.
Fighting is the best thing a man can have in his soul.
People ask if I hate my opponents; I don’t. I love them. They are the ones that actually make me bring the best I have.
The more you give, the better you become.
There’s more philosophy in jiu-jitsu mats than in any Ivy League school in America.
Life is about fighting. You are going to have to fight everyday of your lifetime.
We are all fighting something.
You can’t measure a man by his size. You measure him by the fight he has inside.
It’s not a one time heroic moment but is living each day with bravery.
I believe in myself over everyone else. There’s nothing that walks on two legs that I’m afraid of.
Even if you don’t win you learn. So there’s no losing. You win the fight or you learn.
A black belt is a white belt who never quits!
If I die tomorrow the world is in great hands. In a much better hands than mine.
We are like artists by nature, constantly we’re trying to add beauty to movements.
The harder I train, the luckier I get.
There is no better reason in life for you to something than because you love it.
Once you make a mistake in a fight or competition you never do that again.
Every time I see open space I see a mat on the floor.
For multiple opponents, I have multiple brothers.
To me, life is memories and experiences.
What is a champion but a guy that didn’t quit?
