Georges St-Pierre
I've trained myself to fight an army, so one guy will not defeat me.

Think about climbing a mountain. If you decide you're going up Everest, you don't start with a sprint. You'll never make it out of base camp if you do that. The secret is two fold: make sure your approach is consistent and steady so that you can maintain the progress you're making as your journey continues.
Georges St-Pierre
There's no honour fighting in the street, there is nothing to gain.
