Appreciate your surroundings and be grateful for it and that's when good things happen.

As far as I'm concerned, I just speak the truth.

Ask José Mourinho, he wouldn't know a thing about me, my sport - he knows football, and to get to high levels you have to be insane, nothing else means anything.

Fourteen weeks before the Mendes fight I tore 80 per cent of my ACL [anterior cruciate ligament]. That is the main ligament for stability. Every day in that training camp when I was working my way back, I was saying "real champions fight through any adversity". That is why I am a real champion and he is not. Look at my eye [he had seven stitches put in an old wound after an injury in training the night before we met]. Fighters fight on. Aldo got scared, he went running and I worry he will run again.

Getting enough protein is important when I train, to help build muscle and recover, so I'll supplement with protein shakes.

Golf isn't a sport, it's a game. I'm not saying it's not a difficult game, with lots of mental stuff. But it's not a sport like mine. Where is the combat, the intensity of what we do?

I am in the fighting game, I don't care about anything else. I don't watch the news, I don't care about politics, I don't care about other sports. I don't care about anything I don't need to care about. This is my sport, it is my life. I study it, I think about it, all the time. Nothing else matters.

I am not a big crier. But I'd say it was after the Mendes fight. It was not because of the fight as such. It was everything leading up to it. It had been such a tough time. When I did my knee, I had some very dark times. Life is all about ups and downs and I'd say there had been a lot of downs, but I got through it, I won and after the fight, I was standing in the shower and I was crying, just letting it all go.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think what a waste of energy.

I believe in working harder and putting in the time - being completely obsessed. And, yeah, I think that's life.

I daydream too. I visualise. I think ahead, I can do it now, sitting here.

I don't give a f***. We're not fighting. I don't care what anyone thinks about me. All the stuff I have to do outside the fighting, the promotion, this, I don't give a f***.

When I am going face to face with an opponent, nose to nose, I can smell the fear, and I'm feeling no fear at all.

I don't just want the belt, I want every one of their heads on a plate.

I don't relax, I don't celebrate. I sit and plot.

I don't watch the news, I don't care about politics, I don't care about other sports.

I don't work, I live... I don't have a job, I just have a life.

I don't worry about my opponent or their game, I worry about my game.

I do yoga. People think it is easy, just touching your toes. It is hard. But I tend to go with my own flow. It's back to the movement thing. I feel it when I need to train, and I do what I feel I need to do. And when I am in the run-up to a fight, I am really at it the whole time, might be getting my weight down to meet the limit for the division. Soon I am moving up and I am going to be champion in the next one too.

I have unemployed my girlfriend. She had a job working for a cardiologist and now she can hang out, put her feet up, buy all the things she wants, have a nice breakfast with you and me in the Four Seasons.

I have visualised my imagination so clearly and so consistently that it has manifested itself into my reality.

I hold no emotions while I am in there... in there it is just calm and creative.

I keep having vivid dreams of success. Then it's time to sleep.

I know I might rub people the wrong way sometimes, but I'm just a kid living my dream... I'm enjoying my life.

I know I can hold two, maybe even three belts. So I have business to take care of back in and around my weight class.

I like looking good. But it's also about the feeling, right?
