We'll always have respect, but there's no friendship inside the octagon, no smiles or fun games. I'm there to knock you out or submit you. Worst case scenario, I want to dominate the entire fight.

Sometimes the opponent is more cool, sometimes he's not, but there's no friendship inside the octagon, only when the fight is over.

Jiu-jitsu has a lot of leverages and it's more complex when the guy is long.

My preference, of course, is to fight for the belt.

I want to fight - I evolve when I'm fighting.

After I stopped with the crazy weight cut, I started performing a lot better.
