“It could be worse. I could have an office job and want to kill myself. It could be a lot worse. This job is killing us. Realistically, this job is ruining the one vehicle we have — our bodies and our brains. It’s killing me. It’s killing all of us, but I signed up for it. Just like all these football players. They want to make all these cheesy rules — you can’t hit guys, they can’t hit each other as hard. You signed up for this.

“Getting trapped under water and feeling that sensation of almost drowning, while getting tossed around… that’s not a good feeling. That’s a scary situation. 100 percent, I’m not scared in the Octagon. There’s a little anxiety, but in the ocean, you have no control out there. In a fight I don’t get scared, I might get a little anxiety and a bit nervous, but in the water…it’s a no brainer right there.” “I was thrown around and (got) stuck under a rock. My leash got caught and I couldn’t go out the other way so I had to calm myself down and pull myself back out. I was (forced to) crawl my way backwards out from under this rock, not knowing what was going on. My buddies were freaking out because they saw me go over the falls, watched my board just bobbing up and down for a while. When I finally popped up, there were four or five of them staring back at me. I’ve been surfing for a long time, a lot of my friends are professional surfers, and I may get a little more waves than I used to (laughs), but I’m not trying to use my career to get waves all the time… well maybe just a little bit (laughs).”

“Pearson for my money is the best chance the UK has right now of clinching a UFC title. His career has been a great learning experience for him thus far and at only 30 years old the Sunderland, England native has plenty of time.” “He is improving from fight to fight and over the next year or two I hope we will see him really start to create waves and force his way into the top ten.”

“When someone talks about a person’s fans, a person’s family, I take it very personally. I take it very personally and I can’t just let it slide by. I don’t think anybody in the world can let something like this slide by when they talk about your family. This guy wants to come out of retirement and fight me? And say the thing he said. He got his wish.” “I would love it (A Bonnar Pre-fight drug test). I would pay for it (Bonnar’s pre-fight drug test). If Bellator doesn’t pay for it, I will pay for it. The guy has failed a couple of times already. He’s a fake. He’s a phony. The guy’s a joke, and he’s an embarrassment to the sport. The only reason this fight is happening is because he needs to pay his bills. Him talking about my family, I’m going to shut him up. Nov. 15, people are going to see how personal this fight is. There will be no handshakes. It’s something that I’ve never felt before in any part of my career at all.”

“It has always been a dream of mine to fight at Staples Center, and so that is the silver lining. I always want to do the Staples Center, I remember they days when I was cocktail waitressing and I was watching the Lakers play on TV and being like, man, I wonder if things would be different if, like, Luke Walton walked in here and asked me out and I would never have to cocktail waitress again. I was sitting there on a shady bar on Crenshaw thinking like, if the third-string player on the Lakers asked me my life would be different. And now I’m going to be one of the headliners at the Staples Center, it’s pretty ridiculous. It feels special, it really does.” “Oh no, not at all, If I could be co-main the rest of my life, I’d love that. Do you know how much less work I have to do as the co-main event?”

“Well everyone’s a world-class ground fighter until they get a punch to the face. So that’s how I deal with all these ground fighters like everyone else. I hit ’em in the head and there goes your Fu*king black belt.”
