A lot of the moves I make originate from futsal. It's played in a very small space, and the ball control is different in futsal. And to this day my ball control is pretty similar to a futsal player's control.
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
In boxing, you have the 10-second count but we don't have it in MMA, and that's what makes this sport better.
Male figure skating is different than female figure skating; we're not America's sweetheart.
I think if people were to look at badminton and tennis, they'd see they're actually very similar; the profile would increase, and we might be in a better position as a sport.
Pretty early, when I started playing golf, I was compared to Garfield Sobers, who played both cricket and golf.
Snowboarding is skateboarding without the wheels, just on snow. It's the same thing, just that one is on hard ground with the wheels, the other is on snow. You just have to know how to maneuver your board and do things you want to do.
Surprisingly, I am great at kiteboarding, but I'm not great at surfing.
Baseball didn't really fit my personality as well as football does.
Golf is the only sport where watching the game is arguably as grueling physically as playing it.
I do get paid well as an MMA fighter, but this isn't boxing and I feel like we should get paid like this is boxing.
English football is very different from Italian; it's more physical, and matches are always very open.
One of the reasons I started pursuing MMA was for all the similarities to pro wrestling that it has.
I'm not a golf player. I think golf and fishing are the same, but at the end of the day, you can't fry up and golf ball and dip it in tartar sauce. So I'm a fisherman.
I think it is important for all those young out there - who someday hope to play real football, where you throw it and kick it and run with it and put it in your hands - [that] a distinction should be made that football is democratic capitalism, whereas soccer is a European socialist sport.
Too many people asking too many questions in tennis. Golf is better.
In what other sport do you get a 15-second break every hour?
In football, you're dealing with grown men. In gymnastics, you're dealing with prepubescent teenage girls. There's a huge difference. At that age, you're not confident enough to have a voice.
It's great playing a sport where you don't get hit in the head.
Nine holes of golf will take you one-and-a-half, two hours. I run in 20 minutes, I feel better off. So the cost benefit made me drop golf.
With snooker, having three months off could have a huge long-term effect on your game. It's not like football, where there's a huge margin of error with touch and passing and shooting. With snooker you're talking about millimetre precision and your technique can vary a lot if you don't retain muscle memory.
People are so surprised about how small I am compared to other players.
I love skiing. What on earth have I been doing on a beach all this time? I mean, that's for morons - you can get sunburn and really damage yourself.
Archery is not a sport for everyone. The equipment costs a lot, and it is not easy for everyone to find a place to play. It is perhaps similar to golf, but of course there are more golf courses than archery fields.
You look at boxing being an international, world-famous sport, right up there next with soccer, and there's only two fighters the people want to see fight. Two little fellows, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.
