Dan Barrera

"I told my wife that I was going to give everything I have, every single second I have, and go balls out, man." - Dan Barrera on the coach's evaluation, repeated later (the same clip) before his sixth prelim with Saunders.
"I actually visualized and had a premonition about God having me picked to be on Matt Hughes's team, and it turns out I was the first pick on Matt Hughes's team. That's an honor, and I realized Hughes... he sees God in me." - Dan Barrera.
"Men were meant for battle, because you don't teach a little girl, you know, how to play war." - Dan.
"I really feel like it's that military mindset for Hughes's team, you know? You know, they break you down to build you up. It feels like we're Spartans and we're training each other in that sense. I'm telling you right now, we're ready, we're hungry for blood." - Dan Barrera.
"Coach Hughes and the staff weren't ecstatic about the fight, you know, so we paid with pain." - Dan Barrera on the hardcore training regimen imposed following the John-Billy prelim fight.
"At 4:15 every morning, I just wake up. I don't even have an alarm clock. God just says 'Arise, Daniel.' Okay, God, thanks, I feel good. Let's go work." - Dan.
"Pain is the only friend you're going to have in the Octagon. It's the only thing that's for sure in there." - Dan.
"It's all in God's hands, man." - Barrera on if his hand is broken or not.
"The metacarpal right through the middle." - Barrera on his hand, broken in overtraining with Hughes. "Just messin'." He was kidding.
"You've got to pray with me." - Barrera on the phone with his wife, as she was saying she had been having panic attacks and/or seizures.
"It's about how much, mentally and physically, you can take." - Barrera, on being a fighter.
"It was 10-8 the first round. It was 10-8." - Dan to Ben after the majority decision was announced in Ben's favor. Dan was talking about how he owned the first round and Ben owned the second.
"God works in mysterious ways." - Barrera after losing to Ben Saunders and getting bitched out by Hughes.
