“I don’t see really anyone being [able to beat him]. I do think I’m the only one… I hate to say it. I hate to f*cking say it. I’m the only one who could beat him. Give me a shot at the White House. I gotta go out there and get some wins. I gotta get some wins. But, I don’t see anyone really beating Merab anytime soon. He needs to be knocked out and put to sleep to beat him. I just don’t really see anyone other than myself being able to do that”

“First UFC fighter to take 100 takedowns.Only 5 of those were on me. I didn't let him get that many takedowns on me because I didn't get up.”

“Ilia Topuria is pound-for-pound the greatest fighter to ever walk the earth,Greatest fighter, pound-for-pound, ever. Even over [Jon] Jones, I think. His last three fights, KOes. He KOes Volkanovski, KOes Max Holloway, KOes Charles Oliveira. He’s not beating these guys in a decision. He’s not taking them down and holding them down. He’s knocking them out.“”

“I like that matchup a lot,so me vs. Song, if that's what's next, hell yeah.”
