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

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 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 want to be the most exciting fighter out there.

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

I’m a guy that creates my own destiny in this world. Until I’m off the planet, there’s always a second chance.

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.
