ANDERSON SILVA

Definitely I feel my kids played a big role in why I was so successful in fighting.

This is the UFC. UFC has the best fighters in the world. That's it.

I would love to fight my clone.

Georges St-Pierre is a good fighter who is proving his place in MMA with every fight.

I enjoy fighting, but my family says, 'Stop, no.'

I proved for a long time how much I've given of my heart and of my time to the UFC.

A lot of people thought I was gay.

I trained together with Jacare for a long time.

I'm over this thing of being champion, having the title.

McGregor is a great fighter, and he is doing his job very well. He is very intelligent; he knows exactly what he is doing.

It's not my character to up and challenge anyone.

I love the sport. I love fighting. Fighting is my life.

The thing I always demand is respect. I respect everybody and have a history in the sport, and I believe people need to respect me.

Having kids and a relationship at such an early age definitely built up my hunger and perseverance to succeed.

Sonnen doesn't know martial arts. He's a wrestler; he doesn't know how to respect people. Some say he's promoting the fight, but he disrespected my country, my family and fans.

The fight's the fight.

Nick Diaz is a guy who walks forward, has great boxing skills.

In my opinion, B. J. Penn is No. 1.

Being a black belt from the Nogueira brothers, I have the obligation to always defend myself well on the ground.

There's no such thing as holding back. I want to finish as soon as possible. The only time I did it was because he was a friend of mine. It was against Thales Leites. We went until the last round because he's a friend of mine, and I respect him.

I don't think there is rivalry between the teams in Brazil. We each do our jobs, and we each have our part in MMA.

I like to play soccer and paintball. I love paintball.

He's one of the best fighters in the UFC. I never thought I'd face Nick Diaz. I've watched all his fights.

I love my job. I go to fight because this is me.

I win for long time. I'm champion for long time - for years.
