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

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.

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

I think my parents gave me a unique name and I have created this unique lifestyle that makes me who I am; it's a cool way of living.

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