I was a very good athlete: actually professional in the sport of handball.

I think, as a professional, inside the cage you can fix anything.

I never hated Ronda. She's always talked about me; she did that to promote herself because when she started, nobody knew her, and she talked about me for people to know who she is. And she opened the doors for women's MMA.

Who's the best MMA fighter of all times? I always left that for fans to decide.

Captaincy is a confidence game. When the team is winning and your decisions go well that breeds confidence.

Look at the way sports, music and film have become driving forces of popular culture. Fashion is the fourth pillar.

I hate the idea of theatre just being an evening pastime. It should be emotionally and intellectually demanding. I love football. The level of analysis that you listen to on the terraces is astonishing. If people did that in the theatre... but they don't. They expect to sit back and not participate.

Ajax have a tradition of good football and play 4-3-3, which suits me. They also spend lots of money on youth players with the aim of putting them in the first team.
