All I want to do is hit someone in the mouth. It's a whole lot easier than working for a living. Don't make anything noble out of what I do

I was once knocked out by a Mexican bantamweight - six of my pals were swinging him around by his heels at the time.

When I got up I stuck to my plan - stumbling forward and getting hit in the face.

I don't think his hands could take the abuse.

You feel like you're an outcast. You're the old man. I promise you, all the kids, none of them have beards. They all just have a little stubble on their face. The girls all look like middle schoolers. I just felt really old. It really reminded me how far removed from college I am.

You run for forty-five minutes, you train for an hour and a half, and the rest of the time you hang out and talk tough

I'm fortunate to have some really great people around me, my fiancee being one, my parents being another. Over the last couple of years, I feel like I've figured out the importance of continuing to learn and the development of the brain and how the brain hooks up with the body.
