T.J. DILLASHAW

I'm not a fake one.

I'm really going to put a stamp on my career by beating Cruz.

When I won the belt, I dominated Renan Barao, and they gave him an instant rematch within two months. And then he missed weight and they still gave him a rematch.

I believe in Duane Ludwig as a coach. I love the guy. I train with him. Me and him mesh. When you find something that works, you keep it going. Me and him see eye to eye. We train well together.

I can't fight forever. I've gotta fight and secure my future and decide what I'm gonna do with my life.

I'm not the flashy guy with the neck tattoos trash talking your head off.

I wasn't ever really friends with Garbrandt. We weren't really that close. But guys like Justin Buchholz, the head coach, he was always in my corner. Danny Castillo. Guys like that.

Let's be honest, I've never said I wasn't a sore loser.

If you really look at the sport, when the No. 1 ranked fighter beats the No. 2 ranked fighter, the only thing that's up next for him is a title fight.

I got the who's who in the boxing world; I've been training with the Lomachenkos, the Terrence Crawfords.

I don't want to be a diva champion.

I wanna watch Cub Swanson against Aldo.

I'm obviously going to own up that I cheated and I got caught.

I'm in the gym nonstop, I'm always in shape, so I'm willing to do what it takes.

My performances speak for themselves.

I'm a big Red Hot Chili Peppers fan.

Immediate rematches or rematches in general, I don't know if they ever really do change.

I'll fight anyone the UFC wants me to beat and defeat them.

During the fight you really don't feel much; you've got so much adrenaline going. Luckily I've mostly been on the winning side, so I haven't felt much pain inside the octagon.

Anyone in the UFC, that should be your goal, to get the UFC belt and to fight for that title.

I've always wanted to coach 'The Ultimate Fighter,' I thought it would be something I'd really enjoy.

I used to think Dominick Cruz was really good.

I'm gonna be the greatest.

I've got no problem making 125.

Chad Mendes, I'm hunting with all the time.
