It doesn't matter if I'm a rival of Anderson Silva's or not; I'm also very objective. And I'm not going to take something from a guy that he earned. Anderson Silva earned the right to be called the greatest of all time. And those are just the facts.

Chael Sonnen

If I'm to accomplish my goal of being the world champion I've got to be better; so every day I come in here with a goal, and that's to get better.

Daniel Cormier

Having sport allowed me to forget about the ups and downs of my condition and think about a set goal, which was to become a Paralympic champion, to become a world champion.

Kadeena Cox

He's (Feijao is) a different fighter than Anderson Silva so it doesn't matter that they train together. And I think I've improved a lot since I fought Anderson.

Dan Henderson

I could beat Yoel Romero, who is probably more dangerous than someone like Anderson Silva, but I would get more credit for beating Silva.

Gegard Mousasi

Crossing the line and being world champion, I've always dreamt about it, and now I've done it. It's quite a surreal feeling, but obviously very special.

Lizzie Armitstead

My first goal was to become world champion and I did that against Ricky Burns at 135. Once I conquered that, I set myself another goal and another goal.

Terence Crawford

Out of Brazil, they're always gonna have another Wanderlei Silva, another Minotauro, another Anderson Silva.

B. J. Penn

Obviously becoming champion is always going to be my goal and something I want to accomplish, but I can't control being the champion and winning and losing. You can't control the result.

Joseph Benavidez

My goal is to become a world champion.

Henry Cejudo

Imagine Chael Sonnen walking into Chute Boxe and training with Wanderlei Silva, Anderson Silva, or any of the coaches. Do you think they would have let him train after all the things he said about Brazil? No. They would have defended Brazil's honor.

Cris Cyborg

My goal is to become the first Mexican heavyweight champion of the world.

Andy Ruiz Jr.

Look what happened when I fought Anderson Silva. It can't possibly get worse than that. I've already seen the bottom and it wasn't that bad. I made it through. I survived. It's fighting. It's not the end of the world.
