"Because you can't go back into this, you can't get back into the path, to such a dream we've had our entire lives, [that] we've worked so hard for, with that pain and suffering in our chest. You need to get over that."
"The UFC places a value on us, so you can be sure that... ...some of that unifying denominator we had, that union was kind of lost along the way, but we found ourselves again, you can be sure. We found ourselves again, we're working towards it, we talked it over, and we continue to work. And it's going to be together. As a team, as a family, and we'll be back doing the thing we love the most."
