People often say, 'Ah, ultimate fighting is so violent,' but it's rooted in martial arts. Martial arts incarnate respect. You can't walk into a dojo and say to your sensei, 'Hey, salut tabarnac!' After every one of my fights I go and shake the hand of my opponent. I don't need to hate the other fighter to fight him well. It's a sport.

Because Conor McGregor is so confident - he goes there 'I'll beat this, I will do that' - If I would be his coach I will tell him all the time, behind closed doors, how dangerous [Nate] Diaz is and how much of a war this fight will be and how painful, and long, and uncomfortable it would be, and to get prepared for the worst day of his life.

If you want to be a proud person, then you want to avenge your loss. For me it was [Josean] Serra and [Joe] Hughes, and for Michael Bisping, Henderson is one of his losses - one of his most painful losses. So I understand why he wants to avenge it. As an athlete I understand.

Humility is the first rule of martial arts. Either you learn humility quickly, or you leave because your ego can't handle losing repeatedly.

Thanks to his willingness to face me, my life takes shape, my path evolves.

Watching myself fight, I realize the line between success and failure is so narrow, it's scary.

If you look good, you feel good, and if you feel good, you do good.

A system that works for one person won't be perfect for another... Individuality is a major part of expanding knowledge.

When I go on vacation I just like to do nothing - just hang out at the beach, go eat the best restaurants, and do nothing.

It's not always the strong that survive. It takes brains, guts, tolerance and forward thinking.

One of the lessons I learned in all those years practicing karate is that progress only comes in small incremental portions.

If you prepare your subconscious for highly stressful situations, you can create harmony with your fears. You can tame fear like a wild animal and use it to your advantage.

It's bizarre, a punch in the face hurts less when you win than when you lose.
