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

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.

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.

I avoid long layoffs and I try to stay in shape at all times.

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.

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

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.
