I know who I am, and that never changes.

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.

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

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

The key thing is confidence, and you get that from the actions that you take. It can be anything from getting chicks, being in a fight, having success at work, having a good family. A lot of that stuff comes from having confidence, so that's one of the biggest things.

I want to be the most exciting fighter out there.
