“Everybody can (lose) on a given day. That’s why we have long shots in racing. I tell her — she makes a fortune from the UFC, fighting — but I tell her, ‘if you could retire when you’re on top and just do movie work.’ Like I do movie work and I got a retirement from the screen actors guild. It’s a big retirement too. I got lifetime insurance — that’s a big thing you know — and you get residuals, which means after you do a show — even the Bruce Lee show. Not Enter the Dragon ‘cause that was so long ago. So when it plays again, you get paid again. Every time it goes down in price, but you’re making a lot of money. So you don’t have to worry about where your next bill is coming from. She does sparring with world champion women and a couple of guys. When she comes down to our place, which is in North Hollywood California, she does damn good with the men. And when you fight her you don’t have to be nice, I mean if you’re a man. She’ll break you up if she feels like it. She’s got a good attitude. And when I say a good attitude, she’s sadistic. And that I like.”

“I’m the most hated guy in the UFC. I don’t know why. That’s the way it’s always been. I’m not very happy, but what can I do? Hopefully 2015 brings me a better year and I can be happy again. Hopefully good things are coming my way and I can be positive. I can finally get my hands on Michael Bisping. I don’t see why not.”

“Apparently I’m the bogeyman to the 125 division and I don’t even know why. Well, actually I do know why. My hands say it all. But, everybody is afraid of what I can potentially bring to the table, and that includes Demetrious Johnson. He’s afraid that I have that one-punch knockout that will change him from being the champion to being the number-one contender.” … “If it was such a fluke (his KO over UFC bantamweight champion Dillashaw), then give that fluke some reality. Prove that shot was lucky shot. Prove it wasn’t a pinpoint accurate shot that landed clear on your jaw and dropped you, that you weren’t wobbling after Herb Dean picked you up off the mat.

“[Muhammad Ali] would have been successful (in MMA), but he would have had to get into other martial arts. He’d have had to get into the wrestling, the ground and pound. Which means when you’re down on the ground – in boxing, you know you get up if you get knocked down. In MMA, you can beat the heck out of a guy with your fist when he’s down, or hit him with your elbow and cut his eyes open, or break his nose. So you have to learn more. If Muhammad Ali was to fight nowadays, he’d have had to learn a lot more. But he was to me, the best heavyweight fighter of all times in my opinion.”
