Quotes from Jorge Masvidal

Ben Askren had never been knocked out when I got a hold of him.

If you look through my career, I put an end to a lot of guys never been knocked down, never been stopped.

My job is to hit somebody until the referee pulls me off.

I feel like if they added a few weight classes it wouldn't change up the dynamics of the sport. You can still have champions and it wouldn't be like boxing. Boxing got messed up, because they've got so many belts, so many unifications. It's crazy.

I grew up in Miami, Florida.

I got kicked out of school... I caused a lot of turbulence throughout those years.

I didn't get a lot of questions asked earlier in my career, I guess. But I've always been the same guy, more or less.

My dad was always a motivation, even when he wasn't there.

My body of work speaks for itself.

You don't spit on people, especially people's corners.

Let me make this clear: I think USADA has moved my sport forward in certain ways that I couldn't have imagined.

Askren is that dude I'm not losing in any universe to.

It's a blessing and a curse. I feel like I've gotta fight every dude that stepped foot on 'The Ultimate Fighter.'

It's taken me 26 professional fights to seek out nutritional help and I finally did and it's made a big change in my weight as far as weight cutting goes.

I don't want any up-and-coming guys. I want someone that's established already, that's good.

When you're up-and-coming in your career, yes, maybe you have to dodge certain guys. 'Hey, my wrestling isn't good yet, let me get it on-point and then I'll come back there,' or, 'I'm not going to fight that guy right now,' because whatever, when you're up-and-coming. But once you're already at the top of your game, you're in there, man. That's it.

I don't want to fight no up-and-coming guy, no guy that's 15-0 but hasn't faced anybody yet.

I've had to prove myself beyond that street-fighter image with some people in the UFC. It has a stigma to it.

In every fight the strategy is to baptize and take their soul - that's always the strategy.

I do a very strict diet.

Man, I never got to fight a ranked opponent at 155, and that wasn't because I wasn't winning.

Usually with my opponents, I don't care if they win the lottery or they die.

I never care about my opponents, especially now - I care about 'Gamebred' and 'Gamebred' is only going for the off button.

I came to 170 and I got motivated and finally they started giving me ranked opponents.
