Numbers don't lie. Women lie, men lie, but numbers don't lie.
Max Holloway
Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
If you want to be the best, you've got the beat the best, and the best is 'Blessed,' baby.
Life changes on a dime, so live life to the fullest.
When I speak, I speak facts, and if you're getting mad, it's because you know it's the truth.
I'm a fighter. I go in the ring and do one thing.
Don't be scared to look for help. Depression is real... It's crazy, and all these guys, us athletes, that keep thinking we're superheroes. I like to think I'm a superhero, but superheroes got to fight their demons, too, sometimes.
I want to have my 11 or 12, 13, 14 belt picture. I want to be lying down just covered in them. I want a lot of them. I want my closets to be filled with UFC belts.
I always eat before I go into a training session.
I want the undisputed career. I want the best damn career. I want to be the best guy ever to do this.
I'm working hard. I'm putting in the hard work. I'm sacrificing. I ain't asking for no handouts. I'm going to earn everything I'm given.
MMA is forever evolving.
I'm not a talker. I'm a doer.
My coaches deserve a lot of respect.
Everyone knows who the money fight is, and everyone is begging for it. But at the end of the day, Conor's going to fight who he wants to fight.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If I didn't fight you, get ready. Get ready, because I'm coming.
No success, no nothing, no belt, no person can change the way I act, the way I feel.
They should just put 'two' beside everybody's name, you know? Because there's only No. 1 guy out there, and that's the champion.
If you're not confident in this sport, you're not going to get very, very far.
You test yourself. That's what real fighters do.
I believe in my training camp. I believe in my coaches. I believe in what I do. I believe in the work I put in.
I don't cry about anything.
I'm not trying to be this guy just chugging along. I want to lead the pack.
I'm not racing through my division - I'm cleaning it out.
It's a legacy thing, and when it's all said and done, I want to leave a legacy in whatever way. If not, if it's helping the division, if it's fighting big names, I just want to be remembered as one of the greatest all-time to ever do this in the sport. That's just what I want to do.
The UFC has a mind of its own. Whatever they want to do, I'm down for.
It took me 10 fights to get the damn interim title shot and then 11 to get an undisputed shot.
Pulling out of a fight is just like not taking a fight.
All I have to do is keeping on focusing on what Max Holloway does, and that's winning - and winning fashionably.
The belt is great. You know what comes with the belt? Bigger paydays, pay-per-views, and a lot of stuff.
I'm just asking for a fair shake. You see a lot of these guys, a lot of these other champions making what they're making. I'm not trying to take anything away from them, but I feel like I'm one of the more exciting fighters under contract in the UFC.
Depression is real, and that really hit me hard. I was going through a phase where I wasn't talking to no one. Only my son. Me and my son would do stuff, but I was talking to no one.
I know I'm the greatest, and like I said, I ain't here to be average. I always wanted to stick out as a sore thumb, so that's what I'm doing. It's just confidence.
Us Hawaiians - I'm Hawaiian-Samoan. I love to eat. I want to go for four titles: 155, 170, 185; they all can get it.
It's super easy to do what Conor does. He earned something. Then, he looks over the fence - he looks for something new - and it's very easy to be motivated for something new.
I'm here in the present, and I want to make sure I don't stumble on my own feet.
These guys are playing checkers. I'm out here playing chess. When they figure it out, it's too late.
It's what kings do. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best.
You got to keep your feet on the ground, and it is what it is.
I got to fight the greatest-of-all-time in my weight division - not once but twice. I was watching this guy when I was 16 years old when I first started kickboxing. I wanted to fight Aldo in a kickboxing match. A couple years later, I came to MMA and wanted to fight him. 10 years later, I got to fight the man twice.
You want to be a part of the big card. You want to be part of history.
I'm not going to change me just for some extra money.
I'll do what I like. It's my own life.
I ain't trying to run away from no danger. If it's supposed to be dangerous for me, then I'm going to go and take a peek. I want to go and look and see what's so dangerous about it.
When I was finishing guys, the media was on me like crazy.
If you want to fight the best, you come fight Blessed.
Every time I go in, me and my time, we're 0-0, and we're looking to become 1-0.
I just want to be dominant.
When I start running my mouth, I start running facts. I start giving guys numbers. I start giving guys ideas of where I come from and where I work.
I'm a true believer in, people only remember you for your last fight.
