My mom's never liked the fact that there's an option for people to punch me in the face, but she likes that I'm doing what I love, and she enjoys a lot of the different perks that go along with it. She just thinks they should change the rules and make it so no one can hit me in the face.

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.

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

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 think one of my biggest strengths overall is staying in the moment.

A lot of fights in my life have been avoided through confidence and demeanor, so that's pretty masculine 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.
