I sometimes get caught up in the big goals...That aren't really the ultimate goal, which is to be happy for what you have.

The fight world is definitely a masculine thing, but I think it's pretty masculine if someone can avoid a fight also.

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.

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.

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.

I want to be a multi-time champion. I want to be a multiple division champion. I still have a lot of goals; it is a matter of staying the course, being consistent and persistent, and making it happens.
