JORGE MASVIDAL

I always cheer for my MMA brothers and sisters.

I never think past any man, because every guy has two hands and every dude wants to hurt you.

I've never tapped in my whole entire career.

I came to 170 and I got motivated and finally they started giving me ranked opponents.

I'm a dirty south goon - damn right, I ain't no West coast gangster.

I got kicked out of school... I caused a lot of turbulence throughout those years.

I don't come from this technology world.

There's some people who violate that man-code of the gym.

I've got a big buzz going on because I'm known and put people to sleep.

I want to get paid for my services.

In every fight the strategy is to baptize and take their soul - that's always the strategy.

Let me make this clear: I think USADA has moved my sport forward in certain ways that I couldn't have imagined.

I've been fighting professionally since I was 18, and I've been doing three or four fights a year, just doing camp after camp.

When I get anxiety and depression and things like that, I take to eating.

Dana White, bring me someone that can beat me. You can't find no one that can beat me.

Nobody is taking my lunch money.

I do not want to fight Woodley because we're cool. We've worked out so much together, and he's looked out for me in the past with certain hookups that he had at the time. So I don't want to fight that dude.

I'm not going to kill my body, my lifestyle just to go to '55.

I've had to prove myself beyond that street-fighter image with some people in the UFC. It has a stigma to it.

I'm a guy who's in there everyday with world-class grapplers feeling that pressure.

Not that everybody needs to be Georges St-Pierre, but it would be cool if everybody was just themselves.

My mom would get up every day at 4 A.M. and worked two jobs. I always felt I was the poorest kid on the block. I had a chip on my shoulder about being broke.

I'm the type of guy if you say something right now, whenever I see you, I'm going to hold you to that.

Over everything, over friendships or anything, is my kids - and obviously fighting for that belt is my kids' future. It doesn't sound too nice, but if my mom had the belt, she better give it up because my kids gotta eat. If I'm willing to fight my mom, imagine a good friend.

The more I tour the world, the more I see that people are just like me. They love violence.
