“I'm still the best bantamweight in the world in my mind, yes. If I had...” — Dominick Cruz Quote

I'm still the best bantamweight in the world in my mind, yes. If I had any doubt that I was the best in the world then I shouldn't be competing. If you don't think you're going to be the best, what's the point?

Preparation is a mentality... With wrestling being my background, I've always learned to overwork, overwork. Work, work, work, work. It's not always the talented that wins, but it's the one who puts in the most preparation and thought into things.

If you want to be that world champion, you have to be willing to beat anybody on this planet - no strings attached.

At five years old, I became the man of the house. When he left, my dad let me know that. It put a certain drive in me that I can't explain.

I just love playing golf, and I love competing.

I didn't want to go on the DL. I want to keep pitching and competing. They decided it's better for me to take some time off and that's what we're going to do.

Most of the time our events aren't in the papers and they're not televised, so people don't know when we're competing.

I welcome Microsoft having a store on Windows; what I've always resisted was a push to close down Windows to competing stores.

If you're competing right, if you're doing it right, competition should be a very selfish pursuit.
