JUNIOR DOS SANTOS

My first MMA fight was July 2006 here in Brazil. I won a few fights here in Brazil, and then I got a chance to fight in the UFC, but they put me against the number one contender for the title at that time. It was Fabricio Werdum.

I say it all the time: it's different when two heavyweights, especially when they are the size of Ben Rothwell, face each other in the Octagon. Even the leather - right in the back seat of the arena, they will be able to hear the sounds of the punches.

I like to fight here in Europe.

What I really want is to keep myself active.

I'm always thinking to myself about getting the belt back.

I'm a good actor.

I have to know jiu-jitsu and wrestling, but I'm a boxing guy.

If you say an athlete doesn't need supplementation, that he can get everything through food, you're wrong.

In the beginning of my all my camps, I do just boxing.

I like to move a lot and throw some hard punches.

I have combinations, and I work on my combinations all the time.

I see the takedowns; I see the opportunities to take people down or even try to submit them or something like that. But man, I prefer to stay on my feet. That way I'm confident.

It's my biggest goal to become champion. I think it's everybody's goal here in the UFC.

The ground game of Derrick Lewis isn't that good.

I don't like to use - I never use - any kind of drugs to help me in my fights. I don't like that. I don't like drugs.

I love to train boxing, and I think I have enough skills in boxing.

I love Adele.

Considering myself as a true number one in the UFC, I think Cain Velasquez is the number two.

It's always interesting to see Brock Lesnar fighting - and getting beat.

Every athlete in the UFC, I think they want to fight for the title. I'm no different.

I'm chasing my goals, and I haven't been able to make things happen the way I want them to happen. It doesn't feel good, but the answer is simple: I just have to work hard and to focus on cutting down the number of mistakes I make.

Miocic has that knockout punch. I was completely dizzy a few moments when we fought.

If I wanted to eat all the protein I need from food, I would have to eat something like 10 chickens per day. That is impossible.

I was just want to get some good fights and as many as possible.

Rules are for everyone.
