I asked for a tough fight, and I'm very excited to fight such a good fighter and a former champion like Frankie Edgar.
I want Gervonta. That's my Lomachenko fight - the fight that people don't think I can win.
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'm just looking forward to a great fight and just to keep making my dad proud.
If Dana White said he wanted to fight heavyweight, everybody would watch that fight tomorrow just because they want to watch Dana get beat up or win or whatever it is.
Whether Pacquiao loses in the first round, whether he knocks out Mayweather in the first round, it's still going to be the biggest fight in history.
It will be a killer, and a chiller, and a thriller, when I get the gorilla in Manila.
I want to fight guys I'm excited to watch fight.
I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years.
I'm always watching every featherweight that fights in the UFC because we can eventually fight in the future.
I knew I was going to be slugged up, my whole mouth gold.
Sometimes, when it comes to multiple-weight world champions, they have so much skill that it eliminates the excitement out of the fights.
People love boxing, but you've gotta wait two or three years for your favorite boxer to have a fight.
It's an incredible feeling, just to know that you have MMA fans that are behind you and want to know when your next fight will be.
No one thought the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would happen, but I had patience.
We as fighters always want to fight the best possible opponents and the best fights. We want the fans and media to be excited about the fights that we have. I now believe that this is a big fight and people want to see it, I'm not sure that was the case a few years back.
Nobody has really gone out to Russia to fight somebody like Kovalev. A lot of people are paying attention to it and can't believe what I'm doing. Some people think I'm going to pull out. I've seen comments saying 'Oh this is a good publicity stunt' and I was just laughing. They don't understand.
All the knowing ones were consulted as to the issue, and they all agreed, to a man, in one of two opinions: either that Bob would flog Billy, or Billy would flog Bob.
I really didn't want to enter the UFC in a fight that nobody really cared about or where people thought I was just going to whoop some guy.
If I look forward to bigger fights, than the biggest fight for me is Manny Pacquiao.
The seventies and eighties are when the division was really good. The fights were very enjoyable and everyone knew when the next fight was. Nowadays, you don't even know who won a fight three days after it happens. We need heavyweights, the people want heavyweights.
