Everyone knows who the money fight is, and everyone is begging for it. But at the end of the day, Conor's going to fight who he wants to fight.
I always take everything serious when it comes to my career and my life, but this decision to go back to the cage is a big decision for me.
It's not up to me. I will fight whoever the UFC puts in front of me. If it was up to me, I want to fight Dana White.
I knew what I wanted to do with my life: I wanted to fight.
I won't say I won't fight again but I don't think anyone wants to fight me so I am finished and I will just continue with boxing exhibitions.
I ended up moving up to lightweight, which I didn't want, and fought a really tough guy, Will Brooks, and beat him like nothing.
Romero, I was beating him two rounds to zero, I was dominating the whole fight. He was able to catch me with a punch with about a minute left. If I would have just danced around for a minute, I would have got that win.
My trainer don't tell me nothing between rounds. I don't allow him to. I fight the fight. All I want to know is did I win the round. It's too late for advice.
If I want to fight for a 155-pound title - if I hold the 145-pound title - give me the fight.
I could do welterweight. For the right fight, I'll do welterweight. It would have to be a meaningful fight. A world title fight, or a big meaningful fight.
I want to fight at middleweight.
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'll fight in both divisions, 185 and 205. I feel good. That's a choice for the boss, where Dana wants me to fight. It's no problem.
I'm done fighting at welterweight. Unless they open up a 175-pound division, I'm moving up to middleweight.
I can choose whoever I want, in MMA things change very rapidly, sometimes you don't know what'll happen and there's a guy that upsets everybody. I could fight who the fans would like me to fight the most. For me that's important.
When they said, 'Why is Floyd Mayweather not fighting Manny Pacquiao?' it was because Manny Pacquiao had a boss. I don't have a boss.
I can fight Cain Velasquez if they want. It's not up to me, I'm not the matchmaker.
I didn't take the fight with Michael Grant because the timing wasn't right. They offered me a lot of money, but it wasn't in my best interest to take that fight. They were trying to use me to build up Michael Grant.
If a legend fight comes up, or if a fun fight comes up that makes sense, and the fans want to see it, then we're going to do it. We're not going to be afraid to do those fights.
