When you look at my record at 10-0 as a professional and look at Jon Jones' record when he was 10-0, who was his toughest guy? Stephan Bonnar, and he did not finish him. I have fought higher-caliber opponents at this stage in my career than Jon did in his at 9-1; His tenth fight was Matt Hammil.

If you value your wins and you value what you've done over the course of your career, then you wouldn't want people harboring over a loss, even though you fought extremely well.

I went out there, and I fought Anderson Silva, and you know what? I got a big W, and that's massive for my career going forward.

You don't quit after you get beat. You pick yourself up, and you start rebuilding to accomplish your goals.

Ultimately as a leader, you're evaluated on how you interact with people. If you do it well, you develop a reputation as effective leader. If you don't, you develop a reputation for being a highly ineffective leader.

The question is the morning after. What sort of Iraq do we wake up to after the bombing? What happens in the region? What impact could it have? These are questions leaders I have spoken to have posed.

If you can provide the funding and you get the leadership, you'll have a competitive team.

There are very few good examples of effective, nurturing leadership that unlocks people's potential or even enthusiasm.
