I don't fight to prove that I'm tough, I know I'm tough. I fight because it's inside of me.

You never know yourself until the chips are down. True strength is not measured when your at your strongest, but when you’re at your weakest.

If I go as hard as I can in practice, make sure it's a lot harder than than a fight, then the fight's going to be easy.

I don't fight to prove that I'm tough, I know I'm tough. I fight because it's inside of me.

It's about feeling alive in the moment because your adrenaline is going, your thinking about that present moment, you're not somewhere else, you're not thinking about what's going to happen 10 minutes from now, and that's the reason why I love fighting, it's when I'm in there. I feel free, I feel like there's no other place I want t be. I can't even think of anything beyond that second. That's why I'm drawn to the fight, because I love the presence of it, where it brings me mentally, it's the purest thing for me.

As an athlete you have to be coachable. And being coachable is a humbling thing.

One day these will just be memories that I haveso I try to enjoy it as much as possible
