Mark Hunt
I'm not gonna waste my money watching two cheaters fight. Why would I? They're cheaters, in the end. That's basically all they are. They should get nothing.
For me, with fighting, I'm not going to have any regrets. I'm throwing down to the very end.
All the guys at this top level, they're pretty much dangerous all over the place. If you're not good all over the place, you'll be in a little bit of trouble. It's hard to swim at the top end if you're only good at one thing.
Everyone wants to be UFC champion, and that's my goal and my dream.
If I get the boot out of the UFC, I'll still continue to fight.
Knowing and assuming are two different things.
I never lose a rematch.
Sometimes I don't sleep well.
I've still got my senses about me, and I know what's right and wrong, which is the main thing.
You can hear me starting to stutter and slur my words.
My memory is not that good anymore.
I do watch some of my losses, but it just makes me think, 'Well, you know, should have done this; could have done that.' But that's why I don't like watching it. It's a shoulda/coulda/woulda thing.
I'm never confident about anything, especially with law.
They can be King Kong, Godzilla, or whatever - I don't care what they have. Once you get a punch in the face or a knee in the head, all of those skills are gone.
At the end of the day, I'm one of the greatest fighters on the planet.
I never turned down any fight. I'm always up for the opportunity.
I'm not a liar. I'm a pretty straight up person.
What my thing is, I tell most of the time the truth, and sometimes it's good for me, sometimes it's bad. But, it's true.
I don't turn down fights unless I'm injured. Never have. So it's a part of my makeup.
Everyone's a world class ground fighter until they get a punch to the face.
There is nothing wrong with my health. Who doesn't forget things from time-to-time? Who out there has never stuttered or slurred a word at some point?
Anyone who knows me knows how sharp my mind is. I speak at a thousand miles an hour. I'll hold a discussion or a debate with anyone.
I've built a career in one of the toughest, most ruthless industries in the world. You can't do that unless you're completely with it.
My brain is fine.
My old man was ruthless. He terrorised us.
I'd fight any of the top guys.
I'm always down for a battle. I was born down.
I love rematches.
I'd like to fight and get close to that title shot - that's all I'm interested in. My whole purpose is to fight for the world title.
I'm a professional; I've got to be on weight all the time. There's not excuses for that.
At the end of the day, none of us are really promised tomorrow anyway.
It's the fight game, and everyone loses. You win some, you lose some. You just try to get back up on the horse.
I don't want to be remembered as just some tough guy who could take punches.
I was K-1 world champion.
It's always discouraging to lose. You look at it and think, 'Man, what's going on?' It's always discouraging. But I'm a fighter. I don't like to quit.
I've been training jiu-jitsu for a while. It just didn't really click in my brain. Maybe sometimes I get a bit lazy. By the time I realize I'm in trouble, I'm already caught. You can't really think about it. You've got to just react as it happens.
I've got my dreams. I want to be the best fighter on the planet.
I have, like, 12 screws in my hand.
I never wanted to be a fighter. This is what God said I'm going to do, and I'm happy with that.
I feel blessed by God.
I'm not going to underestimate any fighter.
Coming from a standing background in striking, I couldn't catch up to the guys with 20-plus years of training on the ground. I had to learn submissions. I found out it wasn't an easy road. I had six losses in a row, but I still felt I was the best fighter in the world.
There should be no tolerance for cheaters, especially in fighting.
Every fight is different.
Every fight could be my last.
Mentally, I could fight forever. I feel I'm the best fighter on the planet. My mind says I can fight forever, but physically, I won't be able to do it.
If you don't like to be hit, you're in the wrong sport.
In the end, I think everyone should be treated fairly.
Well everyone's a world class ground fighter until they get a punch to the face. So that's how I deal with all these ground fighters like everyone else. I hit 'em in the head and there goes your F**king black belt.Collection: Kings
