I set out in the beginning to be the heavyweight champion of the world. From a very young age, I was going to be the heavyweight champion of the world. Nothing else was a problem to me. That's what I'll finish doing.
I was champion in Dream at middleweight, I'm champion in Strikeforce at light heavyweight, and my final goal is to be heavyweight champion of the world.
Even when the heavyweight champion was a fighter of limited ability, he was still the heavyweight champion of the world.
To me, being heavyweight world champion and Olympic sprint champion are the two greatest prizes in sport.
The heavyweight champion of the world shouldn't just be heavyweight champion of the world. He should use his position to help other people, such as myself.
I achieved something once again, I think we all want to put a mark on life. I dream, and my dreams always come true. I dreamed I was the heavyweight champion of the world. I am the heavyweight champion of the world.
My dream role is Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion.
Jon Jones is a great champion, but me in my prime, I was devastating. I was vicious. Nobody could stop me. Of course I could beat him in my prime.
Me becoming the first Mexican heavyweight champion of the world, it's a blessing.
I think, because you look around in Hollywood, and there are no 'me's. There's nobody that's as young as me, as black as me or as feminine as me. I think that's the problem. Representation matters.
God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.
That feeling is one of the things that keep me going. On July 6, 1998, I became the WCW heavyweight champion of the world!
The record books might not indicate it, but if you ask me, Chael is a former WEC light heavyweight champion.
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.
I like the thought of gaining revenge over WBC light-heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson, who beat me in 2013.
He was a champion, and if he can be a champion, then what's stopping me from going for the championship as well? Rey has definitely shown people that there's nothing that can stop you if you can push through.
