Football is my first passion. I've played it since I was a little kid.

I was raised in a bit of a hippie environment. I was lying around naked until I was two, having a good time. I think the California mentality is laid back and I definitely embody that.

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.

I know who I am, and that never changes.

Living the dream is simply a form of living out your passion, of making that passion gradually, through persistence and effort, a central part of your life.

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 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.
