“That's what makes things like Jon Jones, Khabib so impressive to me: to get on top and stay on top that long, especially in MMA. Too many variables, too many ways to slip on a banana peel, get caught in something”

“I fought 19 years, and until that Conor fight, that's when things changed for me recognition wise. The door opened for seminars, appearances, and I had been in so many UFC main events, fought for the belt, done all this stuff, but that guy's name.”

“That's a tough one, bro. He's shown no weakness, but Styles make fights.”

– answered for question "Is there anyone who poses threat to Ilia in his division?"

“Charles vs. Max for BMF is a great fight to make”

– Reacted after Oliveira's win over Gamrot

“When I think about fighting Charles, he is a very front and back fighter. You need to be more lateral. Gamrot needs to use footwork and be all the way in or all the way out. With a guy like Charles, he's long and strong in the clinch, and he uses it very well. He'll throw a front kick, then get into the clinch, smother your boxing. I think Gamrot, with his wrestling experience, he'd be able to pick where the fight goes. If he wants to stand up, he can do that. If he wants to go to the ground, he can take it there... Gamrot is a really good scrambler and wrestler. Don't stay on the straight line with Charles.”
