Fighters are raised into MMA. It's more about what's internal, not what's God given. When you have a great fighter like Rickson Gracie or Fedor Emelianenko-they're greater than the others because they have an internal spiritual being that separates them from the rest in their craft. They have the warrior spirit.

Material things aren't important to me.

The barefoot component of my training is about strengthening the toes.

The greatest thing for me football-wise is that it's a test of will.
