I'm in tune with the universe, the sun, moon, and stars. I'm in tune with the jinns that are all around us.

My heart tells me what's right.

It's an honor to sit back and see people loving the things that you did 25 years ago and still be here and be amongst the crowd to receive those blessings.

Being surrounded by love and people that care about your heart is the dream. That's what I would like on my last day.

You look at the top five right now and see guys like Kelvin Gastelum, who I've beaten, Carlos Condit, who I've beaten, Robbie Lawler, who I've beaten. How are those guys more notable than I am, and I'm the champion of the world?

What's great about being an opener is that even when you lose, you win. There's no pressure. And no expectations. If you sell merch, you're killing it. But when you headline, you have to sell those tickets.
