Fresh from a dominating win in Singapore, ‘Chaos’ has his sights on the world’s best welterweights.

You are on a four-fight win streak, and just beat Dong Hyun Kim. Do you expect to crack the Top 10 now?

After they saw what I did to the number seven guy in the world, they better put me in the top 10, start giving me respect and give me that big fight every time! These guys have been ducking me for a while.

At the end of the day, it’s more political than those numbers actually holding any value.

When we show up in the cage, those numbers are gone. It’s one-on-one and they can’t save you from fate.

How much do you believe in that power of fate and destiny?

Even before my first loss, I had a vision that something like that was going to come up. It didn’t mean that I was going to lose to someone better – just that I was going to have a setback.

That was going to fuel me for a stronger comeback, and that’s exactly what it did. I worked on my weaknesses.

I am a complete fighter now. I really feel like it is destiny for me to hold the UFC welterweight title. I am going to show you guys those are not just words.

Are you more focused on what you bring to the cage than your opponent’s strengths this time around?

Yeah, for sure. I don’t really watch tapes on who I fight. That doesn’t mean anything to me. I don’t care what he is going to do. I am going to dictate the pace. When you are in that Octagon with me, it will be a test of wills. I feel like no man in the world can stand my test of wills.

I truly believe that. I don’t think Tyron Woodley can handle that right now. I know guys like Robbie Lawler can’t. I train with those guys and I know they aren’t ready for that.

Guys can talk and say whatever they want, but when they step in the cage with me they will be sorry.

How much confidence does training with those guys give you?

It has been a boost of confidence since the beginning of this journey at American Top Team.

Having a best friend like Jorge Masvidal to train with every day has been great. I have been training with Robbie Lawler and Tyron Woodley for years, too.

I train with killers every day. I improve leaps and bounds every day.

You had a beef with Rafael dos Anjos. Do you want to sort a fight with him?

We will see. I wouldn’t mind being the guy to finish off his career. He is at the end. If they want me to finish his career, I will be that guy. I will be that destroyer. After beating Dong Hyun Kim, I’m not looking for a guy outside the Top 10. I am looking to jump up into a contender fight with a Top Five guy like Lawler, Donald Cerrone, Neil Magny – someone who is up there. I don’t want to go backwards. I am looking for the biggest challenges. I’m not looking to take big-money fights.

I am going to create big money fights. Dos Anjos is my bitch. He knows what’s up. That’s why he didn’t want to fight me. He turned the fight down. He told the UFC he didn’t want to fight me because I was too dangerous.

Do you mind that half of your UFC fights have been outside the States?

That’s OK with me. I will probably be an international star before I am a star in America. If they want me to crash the party and be the bad guy that goes to other guys’ cities and beats them up, that’s fine with me. I can be the villain.

As a kid, I always envisioned traveling the world. What better way to do it than beating up dudes for a living?
