Cerrone is a great opponent. The guy won eight fights straight.

I beat Diaz, Pettis, Ben Henderson, Cerrone, and I earned it, man. I earned my title.

Fvery time Anthony and I are supposed to fight, the lines come out, and it's like we're dead even. It's like people don't know what to make of a fight between Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson, when in reality, it should be very easy to know what to make of a fight between me and Anthony Johnson.

Whoever has lost a fight in the UFC and hasn't wanted to fight that guy the next day shouldn't be in the sport.

I just think about the fight and what can happen. In the ring, It's my time to shine in front of everyone.

That was the fight. I knew that I had done something that no man had been able to do to a champion.

I don't think about fights that didn't happen.

I'm sure back in the Greek days or the Roman Empire days, when guys fought in arenas and were fighting lions, people were talking smack. Every era in history has someone talking smack. No way you can have talent and not proclaim your victory.

This is no game. You get up in there, and you take some punches. You risk your life, and then let me see you talk then. That's why I don't respect people who criticize fighters.

I trained for about a year before I had my first amateur fight. I won by knockout, and then, for my second fight, the guy didn't even show up.
