Quotes from Colby Covington

Being at American Top Team, I get the best fighters and best trainers in the world.

First off, I don't consider Tyron Woodley a teammate. He trains with Duke Roufus; Roufus is in his corner every fight. He's been doing his training camps at Roufusport. He has an ATT affiliate in St. Louis, but OK, whatever. Just because he branded an ATT so he can make some money, and he had an investor, I don't consider that a teammate.

You can't come in and invade people's personal space because of free speech.

If the UFC doesn't like what I'm doing, it is what it is.

I know I'm going to lose friends, and I'm going to go on the road less traveled with less people. But at the end of the day, I'm not trying to make friends; I'm trying to make the most money possible.

If you have a sleeping disorder, just get TyQuil: Tyron Woodley, the gossip girl.

I'm the king troll: I troll everybody.

Robert Whittaker hasn't been that impressive. He got knocked out by choir boy Stephen Thompson.

I think that people live in safe spaces these days; they don't want to deal with the controversy and the drama.

You can't come up and attack someone because of free speech.

I'm at the top of the UFC mountain.

All these guys that want to act tough and act like they're hard in the street, that's cool, man. I'm glad you want to act hard, and your emotions are driving crazy, but you need to get out of your feelings, nerds.

Tyron Woodley can't top me, and Demian Maia has no chance to stop me.

As far as standup goes, I really feel like I can stand and bang and trade with anybody in the game.

I'm not a yes man. When the UFC says, 'Jump,' I'm not saying, 'How high,' because that's not fair to me.

The UFC thinks they run off their brand, but that's not true. The UFC runs off the fighters, so hopefully, these fighters take notice and how I'm going about my business.

My pace alone is unstoppable. No one can keep my pace.

If I can't do one thing, which is a lower body exercise, then I'm gonna use my upper body, and I'm gonna get stronger upper body. If I'm not getting stronger upper body, I'll be working on my cardiovascular - swimming or other exercises where I can get my heart rate up.

Every time the UFC offers something, I just take it.

I've never asked for more money, not one time in my career. I fought Demian Maia for $30,000. The No. 2 guy in the world, I was fighting for $30,000. So I don't care about money.

Guys have a lot more to worry about when they're fighting me than they do fighting Khabib. He's just one-dimensional.

Nothing about Ben Askren impresses me. He's a one-dimensional fighter. He's never hurt a fly.

I'm ATT to the bone. I have my close circle of people, my clique - Jorge Masvidal, Mike Brown, Dan Lambert. I'm not friends with everybody. It's a gym, but this is a one-man sport.

If the UFC wanted to give me Warlley Alves, I would show them how chump change he is. And I'd show them how much of a fluke it was that he caught me in a lucky submission.
