“I'm not fighting for bonuses or money or anything else. I fight becaus...” — Diego Sanchez Quote

“I'm not fighting for bonuses or money or anything else. I fight because I love to fight and I love being in the heat of the battle and the heat of the moment. You might laugh at me when I say this, but I love feeling like I gave the fans their money's worth.”

“I look up to fighters like Vitor Belfort, Anderson Silva, Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture. A lot of the fighters that fought into their older age and for me, as a warrior, I just love it.”

“In MMA you have to take one fight at a time but I want BJ Penn. The fans want to see it and, while I'll fight whoever the UFC tells me to, I want a shot at BJ.”

“I heat myself up over the fact that I am never going to be as good as I want to be.”

“There's a way of getting heat that works for you, and there's a way of getting heat that works against you.”

“I don't start writing a script until I can see it all in my head, then it's a matter of getting it down in white heat.”
