Bob Sapp

If you're very good, that can sometimes actually hurt you. How? Well, the promoter might say, man, he's going to come over here and beat our champion and will raise his price or will never come back and defend the belt.

I never had an interest in fighting. Originally, because I had no experience, I was going to come to Japan to be a pro wrestler and learn fighting along the way.

The fans like me more than just as a fighter. I really enjoy it.

My power is a characteristic of my skill, no different than someone who's smaller and has speed as their skill.

You name it, I've done it. I've gotten to live so many people's dreams. People dream of playing in the NFL, of having a hit CD, of being in Hollywood movies, or being a pro wrestler, or playing college football. They dream of being able to travel the world. I've done all that.

Every card they put The Beast on, the fans come, and it allows the other fighters an opportunity to make some money.

If you look at some of my fights, they're back to back. One will be on Saturday, the other on Sunday. Sometimes they're a week apart.

Japan even has beds that hold me.

I've been training in all sorts of fighting.

I've been training mixed martial arts and kickboxing so I think that will give me better overall conditioning to become a world champion.

We determine success in the fight business by revenue.

I'm getting TV coverage just about everywhere as they compare the 'Bob Sapp phenomenon' to the biggest thing from Pokemon to Godzilla.

You see the comments made about me on the Internet, and the Internet is a negatively-charged machine when it comes down to talking fighters.

You look at keyboard warriors who just want to get on and talk bad about the people in the sport, and the problem is that everyone who's talking bad, they wouldn't even be able to fill a stadium with three thousand people.

At the end of the day, I still have bills to pay and taxes to pay.

At Rizin, you can actually be a pro fighter. You can step it up. You can blast, you know. You'll be alright.

I will receive no damage to my body that will be long-lasting for a small, insignificant amount of cash.

I'm getting paid well underneath what a professional boxer would, or Manny Pacquiao. So in no means ever will I sustain long-lasting damage for a small paycheck. Never will that happen.

I am a pioneer of this sport. I currently hold every record for this MMA. That is correct? I have more commercials, more movies, more endorsements, and more viewerships than anyone has.

I am No. 1 in every media category.

A lot of wrestlers get guys to the ground in a mixed martial arts fight and think that's it. But no, we gotta get up eventually and throw some blows.

I did comedy shows and the only thing beating out my fights were my comedy shows. The entertainment I was providing was ridiculous. They had me doing absolutely everything and anything.

I've been working on my ground skills. Putting in there upwards of 3 to 6 hours a day dedicated to training. And of course part of it is groundwork, and being that I am a striker, ground work for me is more for positioning and striking on the ground.

You get a million-dollar contract, you can live off that the rest of your life.

Following the Road FC chief Jung Moon-hong's goal to increase the popularity of this sport, I will play my part to popularize MMA as well.
