Every good fighter knows when to hang up the gloves.
I don't believe you've seen the best of The Hayemaker yet. I want to leave on the top of the game. Recognised as the best heavyweight fighter on the planet, then I can hang the gloves back up in peace.
One thing you understand quickly as a fighter is that you're not punching with eight or 10 oz. Gloves. We've got 4 oz. gloves. It only takes one good shot for a fight to be over.
When it's time to hang up the gloves, I'll know.
It's going to take more than one loss for me to hang up my gloves; that's for sure.
Werdum is good, is a smart fighter. He knows how to set up a beautiful strategy.
And when I hang up my boots and gloves at the end, I want to tell myself I gave everything to the sport.
Nobody knows what the future holds, but right now, I'm cool and comfortable and having no second thoughts at all about retirement.

A lot of people think they're better than they are and it can be very hard to get found out when you come up against a good fighter, getting dominated in every single way - every area you thought you were good in.
The calendar of the Theocracy of Muntab counts down, not up. No-one knows why, but it might not be a good idea to hang around and find out.
It's not my place to say how good I was because the thing is, every champion from every era is a great fighter and it's up to one person's interpretation to who is actually the best.
Derek Brunson's stand up is horrible, I'm sorry. The guy is a good fighter but his stand up is just terrible. He's an amateur fighter stand up wise.
I'm a fighter. We come from the beginning, no gloves, no rules, no time limits.
I know, every fighter knows, you've got to pile up wins in a row. You can't lose two in a row, three in a row and then you hear mentions of losing your job.
I can't pick up a pair of new gloves like Alec Stewart or Mike Atherton. I have to get them sweaty and loose, and put extra stuff on my gloves to protect the fingers.
