“I really hope it happens. Dana, bro, please bro, please. I’m training, I feel great, I’m healthy, and I’ll be so honored to represent our country and do what I do best.”

– asking Dana White to put him in a UFC fight card, via Dirty Boxing.

“When I saw this, I felt nice. You have to be in this mood because I hope you're gonna take the fight again. He had a chance to hurt me, but why didn't it happen? We'll see, but I like his mood, and if he'll try to do this, I'm gonna show him who's gonna be hurt.”

“The other thing that I heard was that he didn’t know he was fighting me, so I’m wondering how he knows what my skill level is like if that’s the case! But honestly, it doesn’t matter to me what he says. The reason I’m so confident going into this fight is the preparation that I put in and the skills that I bring to the octagon. This camp went so well. I’m the best I’ve ever been by a long shot. So no matter what anybody says, that doesn’t change the preparation that I put in”
