Rashad Evans Quotes To Live By

“It’s about feeling alive in the moment because your adrenaline is going, your thinking about that present moment, you’re not somewhere else, you’re not thinking about what’s going to happen 10 minutes from now, and that’s the reason why I love fighting, it’s when I’m in there. I feel free, I feel like there’s no other place I want t be. I can’t even think of anything beyond that second. That’s why I’m drawn to the fight, because I love the presence of it, where it brings me mentally, it’s the purest thing for me.” – Rashad Evans

“I don’t fight to prove that I’m tough, I know I’m tough. I fight because it’s inside of me.” – Rashad Evans

“I am a student of whoever I can learn from. I don’t see myself in position like I’m above anybody else and I can never learn, or no one can ever teach me anything. You learn a lot from guys who are just starting off sometimes.” – Rashad Evans

“You never know yourself until the chips are down. True strength is not measured when you’re at your strongest, but when you’re at your weakest.” – Rashad Evans

“Belief is 99.9% of it. If you believe, you can go really far with this just on belief alone.” – Rashad Evans

“Life is a celebration… I try to enjoy it as much as possible.” – Rashad Evans

“We are all fighters, every single person who walks this earth is a fighter, everything that lives. To live is to fight. And we just fight in different arenas.” – Rashad Evans

“Before a fight I was always afraid…before I used to have a hard time just dealing with it because I would try to run away from it, but then as I competed more I understood the fact that this is how I’m supposed to feel. – Rashad Evans
