Next fight? If the UFC tell me, 'What do you want?' I'm going to say Tony Ferguson.
If I want to fight for a 155-pound title - if I hold the 145-pound title - give me the fight.
I don't need to chase titles because I've fought in so many title fights and so many title fight-level matches that if somebody thinks I need to give them a reason to give me a shot at any belt in the world, then clearly they don't know what they're about as far as MMA.
I had my sights set on Tony Ferguson for a long time.
I'm just not into the whole begging for a title fight, managers try to get a whole campaign going... If you want to give me the title shot, then just give it to me, I'll show up and I'll perform, but for me, my fighting speaks for itself.
I remember talking to Alex Ferguson about Tony [Blair] and Gordon [Brown], and he said: "Why doesn't Tony just get rid of him?" But if you sack someone in football, they can't turn up to training the next day. In politics they're still on the pitch. Gordon would still have been a big player.
I'd like to fight and get close to that title shot - that's all I'm interested in. My whole purpose is to fight for the world title.
They're all fake belts. To be honest, I think real belt is Tony Ferguson's.
An interim title is just a guarantee at a title shot. If I'm going to fight the best guys in the world, I want a guarantee that I'm going to fight for the title.
My next fight is always the most important fight, so regardless if I'm fighting for the title or not, I always have to go in there and give everything that I've got.
If a guy isn't in a position to fight for a world title, or if he's not in a place where I can intercept his road to the title, don't offer him to me. I'm not in this to just fight guys for the sake of fighting. I'm not in this to make friends with the people who work in the organization.
I think I would have a war against Dustin Poirier, because of his style. Tony Ferguson, too.
When journalists and politicians speak of a dwindling middle class that's under economic assault and a poor community that's getting bigger, they're talking about Ferguson. Independent of the racial demographics and dynamics of Ferguson, Missouri, there's a 'Ferguson' near you.
Arsenal needs Arsene Wenger, but also Arsene Wenger needs Arsenal. For me, he will die at Arsenal. He is like Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. After you think about Ferguson and United, you then think about Wenger and Arsenal.
After I knock out Randy Couture, I'll fight for the heavyweight title, the real heavyweight boxing title in October or November, come back and fight in the UFC in January or February. It doesn't matter, I'm a two sport athlete. The oldest man to ever do that.
Everyone should go up there and fight. Go up there and go through opponents and earn their opportunity to fight for the title, not talk their way into the title.
