Being in good shape is my lifestyle, and I can't remember a time when I was out of shape. I try to live an active lifestyle and mix up all types of activities like fighting, running and swimming.

As far as fighting, I just love to fight and enjoy my life more because of that. I think that it is pretty apparent to those who know me that I do this because of the love. I am not looking to get famous or acquire a bunch of cash. I am following my passion and that's what is about for me.

I just happen to love fighting and happen to be great at it. And I let my lifestyle carry over into my chosen profession.

Aside from being a fighter, I am a relaxed person. It is a lifestyle thing for me. I don't stress too much.

I know who I am, and that never changes.

I hate to lose but having the belt doesn't define who I am. It's how I live my life and what I put into things is what defines me.

I know what I like, and I'm not trying to search for who I am.
