Daniel Cormier

I've always been a rough kid. ”

If I didn't have the wrestling name that I have, I wouldn't have gotten the financial contract that I got with Strikeforce or the long-term contract or the television contract. That's all because of wrestling. ”

I'm not nervous standing with anyone. ”

Just being in the gym every day with someone with goals in common is special. ”

I'm confident in my team. I'm confident in my coaches. I'm confident in my ability. I worked really hard to become a better mixed martial artist. ”

I'm not stuck in Strikeforce. I'm happy to be with them. It's where I started, and they've been great to me. ”

My low center of gravity allows me to defend takedowns a lot better than most people. It's very hard to get to my legs. It's going to be really hard to take me down. There are a lot of positives to being my size. ”

I think after I beat Ryan Bader, he should have to go get beat up by Anthony Johnson for being so disrespectful to Anthony Johnson. ”

You have to be very vocal about being willing to fight anyone. ”

I've done nothing wrong. Some people just don't like me. Maybe I'm somebody that's easy to dislike, but I don't get it. Whatever. I'll do what I do. ”
