People treat you one way when you're champion, but when you're not the champion, everything changes. People treat you different.
If you're out for two years, and you beat one guy with a full-time job, without disrespect, but we're talking about fighting for a world title. You can't just beat a guy that went there to cover some guy that got injured, and then this guy, after two and a half years, gets a title shot.
I get paid the same money if I'm fighting on pay-per-view or on Fight Pass, and Fight Pass is just getting started. It's the future. The Internet, many people watch it.
I'm the former lightweight champion. I want to fight one of the top guys. I don't want to fight a guy who isn't ranked.
I don't want to just be a champion, and I'm done with that. I wanna be a lightweight legend.
Now that I've achieved my goal to win the belt, I want to be the best of all times. I want to be remembered as the lightweight with most title defenses.
I've learned that the key is to fight with no pressure.
Just to be fighting for the belt, I was already happy. No pressure at all.
I'm going to show the difference between the champ and second place.
We have a lot of Brazilians in the United States. It doesn't mean we're traitors to our country.
We have people around the world who live in the United States, and these people don't deserve to be called traitors.
