Before Mendes got suspended, I've been calling out Chad Mendes.
Chad Mendes, I'm hunting with all the time.
I've already took out the hardest guys in my division. Back to back we've got Chad Mendes, Aldo, and Max. Stylistically, they were the three hardest fights.
I fought Chad Mendes to make sure I was in the top five.
I don't take that away from Conor, that he beat Chad Mendes on short notice. Chad took that fight knowing he had a chance to beat Conor, so that's Chad's fault he took that fight.
After I lost to Chad Mendes, that was a point in my life when everything had changed, I really didn't know why I was fighting anymore, for a brief amount of time.
I got thrown into the lion's den when I got to Alpha Male. My first sparring session was with Joe Benavidez, Chad Mendes and those guys, just bleeding from my face, its not like they took it easy on me. It was one of those things where we sparred 3-4 days a week, and we got thrown in there and that's what made me as tough as I am.
You know how some fighters retire but you have a feeling they will be back at some point? I don't get that feeling from Chad Mendes.
I love Sam Mendes. He's a fantastic director.
I definitely look up to Troye Sivan and Shawn Mendes as people that have successfully made the jump into the music world. I think it's incredible that they have been able to do that because it's not easy.
Working with Sam Mendes was a dream come true. He's unbelievable as a director.
I'm in a Bond film directed by Sam Mendes, with Daniel Craig. I want it to be perfect.
Before he became 'a working actor,' as he now proudly calls himself, Jamie Dornan initially caught the public's attention as a model - you may remember him from those greasy underwear ads with Eva Mendes, among many others.
Mix one part Denzel Washington and two parts Eva Mendes and you have a nice hot cocktail.
I am not a big crier. But I'd say it was after the Mendes fight. It was not because of the fight as such. It was everything leading up to it. It had been such a tough time. When I did my knee, I had some very dark times. Life is all about ups and downs and I'd say there had been a lot of downs, but I got through it, I won and after the fight, I was standing in the shower and I was crying, just letting it all go.
Fourteen weeks before the Mendes fight I tore 80 per cent of my ACL [anterior cruciate ligament]. That is the main ligament for stability. Every day in that training camp when I was working my way back, I was saying "real champions fight through any adversity". That is why I am a real champion and he is not. Look at my eye [he had seven stitches put in an old wound after an injury in training the night before we met]. Fighters fight on. Aldo got scared, he went running and I worry he will run again.
I've done commercials that Sam Mendes directed. Paul Feig directed me in a commercial.
