Every fight, I train for the opponent very hard and smart.
What wins a fight is training hard, working hard, and that's what I do: Train hard every time. Being pretty or not is not the point.
I train really hard for each and every fight. I never take anyone lightly.
I was just glad I've got an opponent, to be honest. This is my third opponent for this fight prep. [I'm over the moon] to be fighting in my hometown and I just didn't want that taken away. The fact that they've got me a new opponent, I'm not bothered who it is. I just focus on what I can control in my preparation and that's all I've got to worry about. My opponent changes but they're all great fighters in the UFC. Doesn't matter who you step in there with, it's going to be a tough fight.
If you have time to be with a dog, and the dog is smart, you come to understand the dog, and the dog understands you. They're not hard to train. But they have to be smart, and you have to spend time with them. It's like coaching. I was a better coach when I had smart players.
Train smart at all times and do your best to avoid injury. Training smart is more important than training hard.
I’m a martial artist, and I don’t train because I have a fight; I train because it’s my lifestyle, and I’ll train every day if I’m not hurt.

I'm always prepared for five, six rounds. I train hard. Sometimes it's over quickly, but you have to be prepared for every round, always respecting your opponent.
Stay open-minded; stay focused. Train hard and train smart. For me, the older I get, the smarter I have to train also, because the recovery time is longer. Work on everything: become a well-rounded fighter - don't just be good at one thing; be good at everything.
I train as hard as I can every time I train and I do extra training every day and I've done that since I was a young boy.
I hit very hard and every time I land a punch I hurt my opponent.
When you train outside of camp, it's fun, I'm playing around, I'm working hard but I'm having fun. When I get into that camp it's 10 weeks of tunnel vision on that opponent, you're trying to work on your strengths and weaknesses, really trying to get better in different areas before the fight.
Every training session you take part in, you have to work very hard and train hard because there is no other way to get where you want to be - it's not a secret and not a magic formula - just hard work and application.
If your opponent wants to fight, the fight will be very interesting not just for the audience, but for myself.
We fight smart, fight intelligent, pick our shots, be very smart about how we place our feet. That's how we win.
I am pretty good at arithmetic, and I know that the fight in front of us is a very, very steep fight. But we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate we can get.
