Zitat des Tages von Donald Cerrone:
To be honest I quit taking training and fighting so seriously and went back to living my life and having fun. I try to teach that to all the guys who come out here to train and live with me.
It's a relaxed intensity I've got to live my life in.
Jose Aldo, he's a stud, and I would be honored to be in there to throw down with him.
It's hard to have money in the bank and want something and then not get it.
I've got to control my emotions. When I fight out of emotions, it doesn't end up so well.
Aw man, I spend it pretty much as fast as I make it. If I want something, I don't wait around and plan or nothing. I just go out and get it.
I'm not trying to be anything other than the way I was born and raised.
Wrestling is something I feel really confident in now.
For a while, I drank the juice - I did things the way everybody else said to. I listened to their advice. But it didn't work.
MMA makes you sore and tired every day. I wonder what we're going to be like when we're 50 or 60. I wake up some mornings and just say, 'Oh, God.' And then I go scuba diving.
I see the business side of it and moving up the ladder towards the title. That's where the money's at. That's the overall goal.
People ask me, 'Why don't you take time off?' but the working class doesn't take time off. They're out there working every day. That's what I do, too. I want them to know there is hope, and I'm out there just like they are.
I remember being a kid and saying, 'One day, I'm going to have a ranch. One day, one day, one day.' And now, I'm fighting in the UFC. I'm here making the money, and that one day is here. I can finally go get those things that I want.
I signed a contract to fight at UFC 187, so I'm going to fight at UFC 187, whoever it is against. It's the same thing.
You see all the movies where people say, 'Don't fight out of anger'? They say that for a reason.
Dos Anjos, his wrestling and grappling is supposed to be good, but I feel my Jiu Jitsu, wrestling and striking is way better. I'm better than him all across the board.
You don't have to get ready if you stay ready, alright? I'm always in the gym, always training, all the time.
I am never more or less motivated for a fight - it's always the same.
This sport gives you the highest highs and the lowest lows.
I've never pulled out of a fight, never not showed up to fight, so injured or not, I'm coming.
I want to be a professional wakeboarder.
I made it this far eating fruit roll-ups and having soda pop and having fun. I feel like I tried changing that to do like everyone says I should, and I just feel better being me.
I took up scuba diving, and my next big thing is BASE jumping.
Everyone at home sitting on their couches, they think it's so easy to fight. Stepping inside that cage is probably the hardest thing in the world to do. I truly believe that.
I've been all over the world. I've been to Japan, Africa, Morocco, everywhere. Heck yeah, I would go to Ireland. Why not?
Whether I'm in the main event or on the preliminary card, the same Cowboy is going to be out there.
You ever try to beat your dad up? It just don't happen. He's got that old man strength.
That's my style of fighting. I am throwing down, you know? Having fun. And that's my approach to life.
I wish I had millions in the bank; I'd never go broke. Let's get that belt and get millions in the bank.
People get all caught up thinking they have to train a certain way or take a certain approach to things, but there's so much more to this than fitting into what other people think you are supposed to do. You have to have fun and enjoy what you are doing; otherwise, what is it all worth?
I want the belt. Always.
I enjoy fighting. It's one of my favorite things to do in the world, so I'm just enjoying every minute of it.
You have a short window, you know, and if I plan on living the lifestyle I want, I've got to make a nest egg.
A great fight that I'd love is B.J. Penn. That would be so awesome. He's a veteran of the sport. He's fought everywhere.
When I got picked up by the Tapout crew and was featured on their reality show, that really jumpstarted my career.
I could definitely make 145. But if 'Cowboy' is going to 145, I'm going after somebody who matters.
