The main thing Karate offers to me is a philosophy of life. The philosophy of Karate is respect and discipline. You give 100% of whatever you do, in every activity.

This is one of the toughest divisions and I’m going to be champion.

He's a complete fighter. He has some flaws, of course, but he has a good stand up game, good takedowns and a good ground game. He's a complete fighter, and that makes him dangerous. He hits hard, but I believe I can stop him. I believe I can finish this fight earlier. I'm not underestimating him, but I've learned a lot in my past fights. I have learned a lot in my fight against (Chris) Weidman, so it's likely that I will finish this fight before the fifth round. Whatever it takes. I'm training hard on my grappling skills and my striking, so I want to finish him with a knockout or a submission.

It's not a defeat nor an obstacle that is going to get in the way of our dream, my dream continues, the journey continues

If you have a dream in your life, go ahead it's possible, go ahead

I was thinking Im going to die but I'm not going to tap

I'm just a regular guy that had a dream and ran for it.
