We all understand that this isn't about me beating you and you beating me. It's about each individual competing against himself.

For guys playing sports at a high level, for money, I can't put my finger on it, but in a man's world of sport, there is something visceral to beating another man.
What I want to say is that nobody is unbeatable. There's a kid out there who probably wants to beat me. I train hard and try to be the best that I can be, but I don't disrespect my opponents. I am not disillusioned, either.
I've always been very competitive, and I've always had this desire to win my entire life. I guess when it comes to being in the cage, especially, I just hate losing more than I like to win. The idea of someone beating me just doesn't sit well.
I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.
If you play a match, then you got to give it all to beat the opponent; there is nothing like playing against a great or a non-great player. I treat them all as opponents and aim to beat them.
I was well beaten myself, and I am better for it.
I don't mind getting beaten, but I hate to lose.
I'm not in this sport to say a guy can beat me.
I'm a competitor and a very proud man. If a guy beats me once, he'll have to do it again to make me believe him.
