To me, to live is to fight. It's about persevering. It's about testing yourself. It's about not becoming complacent.

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

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

All the trials and tribulations have paid off. In life, you have setbacks...When you're in your valley, that's when you're tested the most -not when you're at your peak.

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.

I am a student of whoever I can learn from. I don't see myself in position like I'm above anybody else and I can never learn, or no one can ever teach me anything. You learn a lot from guys who are just starting off sometimes.

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.
