I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think what a waste of energy. If people want to believe in this god, or that god, that's fine by me, believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

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

Whoever said it's tough at the top is talking absolute sh*t.

Training to me isn't about a set time at the gym - I move at all times of the day and night.

I won't ever shy away from a fight and if it makes sense down the road, I'll do it. But it will be on my terms.

You need to be able to hit, kick, grapple, wrestle, but for me so much of this is about the mind, about feeling you are in complete control of the space around you, and you know what to do at any moment. That is a wonderful feeling, but it doesn't just happen, you have to work for it, train for it, think about it all the time.

I eat, sleep and breathe training.
