"Henry Cejudo is a motivator."
"Why call out the champion in my first title defense? Because that's who Henry Cejudo is."
"Henry Cejudo is going to become the greatest combat athlete of all time, being an Olympic champ and a two-division champ in the UFC."
"I've done things, from the Olympics to defeating two of the greatest fighters of all time."
"It was very important to me to join an organization that has an established track record of helping young fighters grow into world class athletes and champions. Gladiator Challenge has been a home to such fighters as Quinton Jackson, Rashad Evans, Urijah Faber, Tyson Griffin, Chael Sonnen, Michael McDonald, and many others."
"I want to fight for a credible organization and face high caliber opponents."
"When I'm inspired, I know I can get things done."
"I've accomplished everything I've ever wanted to in my career."
"My number-one goal was just to be a good person, a good father, a good husband and then, after that, was to be an Olympic champ and eventually a UFC champ. And I've done everything I've ever kinda set my mind to."

"A lot of people didn't believe in me."

"I would meet Tim Elliott at 135. At heavyweight if he wanted."
"I want to fight Tim Elliott. I want to fight him."
"M.M.A. is growing, and it's a basic wrestling sport. A lot of fighters are ex-wrestlers. A lot of guys take the easy way out, make quick money."
"When you get hit to the body, you don't even worry about your face no more."
"I'd like to see him fight at 135 for the championship. I want to see how good Demetrious Johnson is or how far he could take it."
