“I start kind of stiff, and then I understand the movement, the distanc...” — Luke Rockhold Quote

I start kind of stiff, and then I understand the movement, the distance, and then I can start loosening up. That's how fighting should be. That's how I try to keep my mind.

I've had to take out a couple of loans; I'm not gonna lie. I want to pay off my debts. I want to start stacking some cash and set myself up for the future.

All I care is I've got the belt.

I'm not knocking the other sports; I love other sports. There's a competitive and a technical level of them that I won't understand, probably, to a certain extent, but I've done a lot of other sports competing on college teams, and there's just nothing like fighting.

Genetically I think I'm more equipped for long distances than high-intensity sprints.

The number of medals on an officer's breast varies in inverse proportion to the square of the distance of his duties from the front line.

I have to listen to my body - and it's telling me not to run long distances. So how do you train for a race when you know you won't have the same result as before? And should you even join if you know you can't run the whole race? Absolutely - just run-walk it.

Running away from something doesn't do anything except put distance.

I think I came up in fighting in a really technical way. If you've ever seen my fights, you know I love distance, I love technique.
