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

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 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 just happen to love fighting and happen to be great at it. And I let my lifestyle carry over into my chosen profession.

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 sometimes get caught up in the big goals...That aren't really the ultimate goal, which is to be happy for what you have.
