The relationship with WWE obviously has gotten better because after my name has been shoved down their throats from 2K Games for the past years, they finally passed off on it. They finally okayed it.

I've known Mark Hunt for a long time, and I've known Brock [Lesnar] for a while. I think that it's a very interesting match-up. I think it's good on the UFC for making that match-up.

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

I'm also a devoted father, and you see that side of me at the same time.

I believe that it was a testament to the change of power from the company to the fans because the more the fans ate it up, the more the company gave them what they want.

You wrestle one night, get up the next morning and fly out to the next city. You try to work out, you try to get some food into you and, lo and behold, you have to go work again. You are living out of a suitcase.

I spar with 18-year-old kids that try to kick my ass all the time. As far as going in and doing a wrestling match, I think that pales in comparison, but it's a totally different thing. It's completely different. You have to condition your body.
