MAX HOLLOWAY

These guys are playing checkers. I'm out here playing chess. When they figure it out, it's too late.

I always eat before I go into a training session.

My coaches deserve a lot of respect.

When I was finishing guys, the media was on me like crazy.

I'll do what I like. It's my own life.

Before Mendes got suspended, I've been calling out Chad Mendes.

I want the undisputed career. I want the best damn career. I want to be the best guy ever to do this.

I don't take that away from Conor, that he beat Chad Mendes on short notice. Chad took that fight knowing he had a chance to beat Conor, so that's Chad's fault he took that fight.

I'm not trying to be this guy just chugging along. I want to lead the pack.

I'm not going to change me just for some extra money.

I know I'm the greatest, and like I said, I ain't here to be average. I always wanted to stick out as a sore thumb, so that's what I'm doing. It's just confidence.

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

People always say, 'I want to be the best fighter in the world.' That's why I respect Conor. He said he wants to be the best fighter in the world, and he's trying to prove it.

Pulling out of a fight is just like not taking a fight.

That's all I ask the UFC to do: keep me active.

I gotta respect our sport, my division, and the guys that are fighting in it. That's what I gotta do.

Numbers don't lie. Women lie, men lie, but numbers don't lie.

I grew up in front of everyone's eyes in the UFC.

It's super easy to do what Conor does. He earned something. Then, he looks over the fence - he looks for something new - and it's very easy to be motivated for something new.

Everybody can get it. I'm here; I want to fight everyone.

I believe in my training camp. I believe in my coaches. I believe in what I do. I believe in the work I put in.

If you want to fight the best, you come fight Blessed.

I'm here in the present, and I want to make sure I don't stumble on my own feet.

I tell myself, 'I'm the greatest, and this is what you need to do.'

The obvious thing is I would love to fight Conor McGregor. We've got some history there, and he won, and people saying he didn't knock me out because of an injury he had. I was injured in the fight, too, so let's test that theory. I want to test that theory.
