“I just know one thing: When you say silly things, when you do silly things, it’s because you’re worried, and you’re trying to wear a mask,” Belfort told MMAjunkie.com. “The way I fight, and the way I am, I have respect. I just need to wear one mask: myself.”
“His actions speak louder than his words. I think he respects me. I just think he wears the mask, trying to intimidate me. He can see it in my eyes. I’m on fire. I’m not getting intimidated by anyone.”
“I’m on fire right now. I have the fire of God inside me. I just have that thing. When you have the fire of God, you can do anything.”
“I don’t need to make a persona to sell more pay-per-views. I am who I am, and that’s one of the things the fans can identify themselves with in me. Maybe I’m not perfect. Maybe I’m not the best. But I am who I am. That’s the main thing.
“I’m not perfect. I’m not saying I’m better than anyone. I’m just saying I am who I am. I make mistakes, but I am who I am.”
“I’m going to go there, and if I get knocked out or knock him out, I’m going to put on a show for you guys. These fans pay thousands of dollars to come here. The UFC invests millions and millions of dollars to see us fight. I’m not going to get intimidated by anyone, and [Silva] knows that.”
