I'm not part of the history, I am the history.

A black belt only covers two inches of your ass. You have to cover the rest.

My number one recommendations for part time grapplers is: no alcohol - no smoking - Follow the Gracie diet. The reason I say that is because smoking and alcohol put a lot of effort on your body. Your lungs. Your liver. Your stomach. These things will make you suffer, man.

Talented people without discipline don't go anywhere.

My strategy is not to give them a chance to hit me.

The idea of jiu-jitsu is to give the little guy a chance to beat the big guy.

I just don’t want to get hit, that’s all. I want to win without getting hit.

You put the Devil on the other side, and I will come to fight.

Mike Tyson’s a great boxer. The greatest boxer - but boxer. Not the best fighter.
