I worked my ass off to earn what I have. You have to understand, not many people where I come from get to experience this kind of life.

I do yoga. People think it is easy, just touching your toes. It is hard. But I tend to go with my own flow. It's back to the movement thing. I feel it when I need to train, and I do what I feel I need to do. And when I am in the run-up to a fight, I am really at it the whole time, might be getting my weight down to meet the limit for the division. Soon I am moving up and I am going to be champion in the next one too.

A fight is mental, not just physical and psychological warfare is absolutely part of that.

I'm not a fan of routine.

Sometimes I train in the middle of the night, all on my own. Can't sleep, don't want to sleep, get up, go to the gym, work. This is early for me, being here at half ten in the morning, this is really early, and I'm only here because I screwed up yesterday and kept you hanging around. Other times I'll call up my wrestling coach, or my jiu jitsu coach, or my deep-tissue guy, and want to really focus on one part of what I do. I train in all these different disciplines.

My diet is usually pretty consistent whether I'm training for a specific fight or not. I don't like to mess too much with it.

If people want to believe in this god, or that god, that's fine by me, believe away.
