“Stop messing around sending me unranked fighters. I want someone ranke...” — Charles Oliveira Quote

Stop messing around sending me unranked fighters. I want someone ranked, someone that will take me closer to my goal, which is to become champion.

Kevin Lee is really tough. He has some flaws in his game that we can work with. I think he mixes up his boxing and his wrestling really well. He takes you down, he unleashes some strong ground and pound. However, he usually starts a round strong and then starts to fade. In five rounds, I think I can take an advantage of that.

The future belongs to God.

I fought three opponents in one night two or three times, but never five rounds.

The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death.

My children, who are almost two: watching them develop has made me pay much closer attention to how we become who we are.

One of my favorite things when I fight, even when I used to grapple and do jiu-jitsu, I would face opponents who were better than me technically but I would just stay on them and be as relentless and resilient as possible and eventually the gap would get a little bit closer and a little bit closer and a little bit closer.

I would rather live as a Muslim in the West than in most of the Muslim countries, because I think the way Muslims are allowed to live in the West is closer to the Muslim way.
