Kamaru Usman

A lot of people forget that Americans are immigrants. People are forgetting that, to where people have this attitude, 'We're Americans, go back to your country. Go back. This is a free country.' I always heard that growing up. I always heard that.

At the end of the day, I'm a professional.

At the end of the day, my job is to win in impressive fashion.

It's my job to show up, make weight, and prepare to be a world champion if that opportunity presents itself.

USADA is wonderful, I think they're doing a remarkable job, and they do a remarkable job all around the world.

The goal of this, I would like to think, for everybody, is to become champion.

Once I go into these fights, and we have to go through the ringer to prepare for them, and we know I'm not 100 percent going in, winning is the most important thing, and dominating is the most important thing, and that's what we've been doing.

When you start out doing something, you never wonder how big is this going to be, or how will I be remembered, or will people even care for me.

I lived with my grandmother for a year when I was very young, and even to this day, when I tell my mother events that took place, she can't believe that I can recall that far.

Can anyone tell me what Jon Jones was ranked when he fought for the UFC title? No one knows. I believe, in that aspect, it was easier to get fights back then. It wasn't, 'What's this guy ranked?' You fought, made your money, and went home.

Fighters no longer manage themselves: they have a whole team behind them. A fighter has a manager, an agent, a Hollywood agent - they got this and that. And on top of that, they've got their whole team of coaches.

My body knows my limits.
