“There's more to the sport than just fighting, and you either understan...” — Dominick Cruz Quote

There's more to the sport than just fighting, and you either understand that, or you don't. And if you don't, then I promise you the guys that are worth money don't want to fight you, because you don't get it.

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.

I feel that I fell somewhat under that category where I was using fighting to kind of run from my own self to an extent, to kind of numb the things that I thought about myself. When I had fighting taken away, I was forced to look at myself in the mirror and say, 'What are you without fighting?'

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?

All I can promise is I'll do my very best. I'll try as hard as I can.

I promise you, I will have something on the Internet that is game-changing. I can't lose.

I can promise you that when I go to Sacramento, I will pump up Sacramento.

The people ask much, often more than any government can give. We must resist the temptation to promise solutions to all problems.

The first sentence of a book is a promise.
