It makes a difference when you've got more than two months versus two weeks to train for a particular opponent.

I am in the fighting game, I don't care about anything else. I don't watch the news, I don't care about politics, I don't care about other sports. I don't care about anything I don't need to care about. This is my sport, it is my life. I study it, I think about it, all the time. Nothing else matters.

I love money, and I love movement. I like what it has let me do for my family. I have paid off my mum and dad's mortgage, I've bought them two BMWs, they can have anything they want. I am buying a fleet of cars for myself. I have unemployed my sisters, they don't need to work, don't need to worry about a thing.

Pain is part of the sport.

The term "trash talk" is such an American thing. I still laugh at it.

I know I can hold two, maybe even three belts. So I have business to take care of back in and around my weight class.

If I could bust out and eat anything... if I ever stop fighting, I could put on some serious weight with sweets.
