You get hit by one of those right hands or an uppercut or a left hook by Mark Hunt, then you know that **** is on and that cage is locked, and there's nowhere to go.

Pardon me, not to sound elitist, but I wanted to put something together that I would enjoy. I thought at that time, what satiated me, what interested me, what intrigued me, I thought other people would like also. And you blend that with some forward thinking of predicting the UFC and MMA were going to be ultimately as big as it became.

Like most of the movies I have participated in before, it's not a far departure from my actual self. TJ is a Special Forces, hand-to-hand combat expert. He's got a big heart. He has a sense of duty that never ends, whether he is active duty or as you find him in Check Point, retired.

I am always a competitor and my wife and son have never seen me wrestle.

At the end of the day, when two combatants get into the ring and/or cage, it's anybody's game, especially in MMA.

Sometimes my natural instincts take over and I just go overboard.

I grew up in the Midwest, so we really didn't have much hockey going on.
