I grew up in a gym in Miami, the one where Muhammad Ali trained. I had 142 amateur fights and lost three.

My dogs are more important than my family.

I was very immature when I was young, and for me there was no balance. Everything was just all or nothing.

Since I knew wrestling was all choreographed, I thought, Oh, they don't get hurt at all. But I walked away with a renewed respect for the sport. Because I was very ignorant before - I knew nothing about it.

I still work out most days. When I do it, I go full blast five or six days a week, two to three hours a day. I enjoy it. It's therapeutic for me.

Hey, baby, nobody suffers like the poor.

Where I come from, being a hard man is being able to take a good beating and then get back up again and carry on fighting.
