“Benson is a champion. I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't scared to...” — Michael Chandler Quote

“Benson is a champion. I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't scared to death inside this cage, stepping into the cage with that monster.”

“I actually have a tattoo on the left side of my chest that says 'Blessed.' It represents how blessed I've been in my life and how thankful I am for all that I have.”

“Letting emotion get into it isn't part of my game. Letting animosity or a rivalry come into it, that's all for the show.”

“Put on a camera and put on some whatever, and you're an actor. Put me in a cage, I'm a fighter. Put me somewhere else - I'm in an ocean, I'm a surfer. I don't know what I am, I just do it all. And I want to be good at everything.”

“At the end of the day, it's about who wants it more in the cage.”

“I didn't sit around thinking, 'I'd love to play Luke Cage,' but when the character was presented, I did my research, and I was just like, 'This is a real gift. He's a great character, and I'm happy to have a chance to take a crack at him.'”
