If you're the UFC champion, you're the best in the world at what you do, and I get the opportunity to do that.
I'm very comfortable in Bellator. It would be interesting to have superfight between a Bellator champion and an UFC champion. I wouldn't have to necessarily migrate to the UFC. We could just have one duel. When it comes to the best fighters in the UFC, I think I'm better than all of them.
My goal is to be the best fighter in the world, UFC Heavyweight Champion. There is no back-up plan.
I think that every single fight you have is to prove yourself. Even if you're the world champion, the UFC champion of the world, you're still proving yourself; people are coming to beat you.
When I got into the sport and wrote down my goals, it was never to be a UFC main event or to be a on a UFC main card. It was to be the UFC champion.
To be a champion in the UFC, you have to be an elite, high-level, effective, professional kickboxer. You have to be the best of the best on your feet.
I'm training to be the champion. I become the champion of whatever I put my mind to, so I believe I will be the champion. I think the UFC will be able to realize that, and we'll see what they say.
100 Muay Thai, boxing, and kickboxing fights. Six times world Muay Thai champion, five times European Muay Thai champion, very dominant UFC champion for three years. I know my legacy. They can say whatever they want to, but I'm huge.
I have no problem with Brock Lesnar being a part-timer, because he's earned that spot. He's a multiple time champion in WWE, a former UFC Champion, NCAA amateur wrestling champion, so his accolades speak for themselves.
Stipe's one of the top guys in the UFC. He wouldn't be in the UFC if he wasn't one of the best in the world.
The Latino people in the U.S. and the Mexicans in Mexico need a UFC champion. We have a rich tradition in boxing, and to not have a Mexican heavyweight champion is unheard of. We need it. I'm glad I'm able to be in a position to give them that champion they so desperately want.
Before I got in the UFC, I wrote down on a piece of paper a goal that I was going to make it to the UFC in 2015 and then I'll be the world champion before 2017 so I'm right on track. I pull out that piece of paper all the time and look at it. It's motivation.
I would love to earn another fight with Ronda Rousey again. She's the best in the world, and as a competitor you want to go up against the best. She's demolished everyone and I think I'm the only one that has taken her into the third round. I'm going to keep fighting and try to earn another fight with her. I'd love to become the UFC World Champion.
This is the UFC. UFC has the best fighters in the world. That's it.
I didn't get into MMA because I wanted to be UFC champion. That wasn't my motivation.
When I signed with the UFC in 2014, it was like, 'OK, I'm in the UFC, I need to train harder and have something different now.' Everyone said, 'Oh, they have good wrestling in the UFC. You have to have good wrestling to be the best in the world.' So, I changed my camp. I changed everything.
I would like to be the youngest UFC world champion. I believe I can accomplish that.
