I really think that 'Sports Illustrated' is a big step in the "healthy is the new skinny" movement.

For girls it raises your testosterone, so I try to have as much sex as possible before I fight actually. Not with like everybody, I don't put out like a Craigslist ad or anything, but if I got a steady I'm going to be like 'yo, fight time's coming up.

I'm kind of like a middle mix between a warrior diet and a Paleo diet, so I only eat once a day and it's at night - so kind of like interval fasting. But I eat until I'm full, I eat as much as I want, and I really don't eat anything that you couldn't find, you know, 10,000 years ago.

I think that going on any reality show is not good for your mental health because you behave differently when you are being watched, and you constantly have an extra bit of awareness of what's going on all the time.

If I could have had everything exactly the way I wanted, this is how I would have written it down. Win all my fights in the first round, then go to the UFC and headline a show, and have it as a pay-per-view and at home. People's dreams don't come true like that.

The bigger my chest is, the more it gets in the way. It just creates space. It makes me much more efficient if I don't have so much in the way between me and my opponent.

One thing that I learned from judo... Maximum efficiency and minimum effort.

In MMA it’s a lot less intimidating because it’s not like you get one shot at a title every four years. You get a title shot every couple of months ... With the Olympics, you don’t always have this, so there is so much more pressure involved.

Reality TV is set up to make people entertaining. A good person with values and principles is not good television.

I respect Georges St. Pierre as a businessman and an athlete. I don't have anything against him personally. But he's not the kind of fighter I like watching.

I try not to get caught up on how cool I am. That way nothing ever gets done. I'm always thinking about what I haven't done.

This is an immense honor, to not only take part in bringing women to the forefront of this sport, but now the UFC Hall of Fame, may I be the first of many.

I think people can be pretty brutal, when you're in the spot she's in, there are people that are just going to jump ship, and I don't ever wish for that. I have a lot of respect for her.

I don't look at this belt and think I've made it. I think I still have things I need to do, i'll train twice as hard (for a rematch) as I did for the first one, because I know she'll be coming back (at me).

I mean, I wouldn't vote for him, i just really wouldn't trust the guy with running my country, that's all. ... I'm not really going to get into specifics of it, but, I mean, I don't want a reality TV star to be running my country.
