As far as fighting, I just love to fight and enjoy my life more because of that. I think that it is pretty apparent to those who know me that I do this because of the love. I am not looking to get famous or acquire a bunch of cash. I am following my passion and that's what is about for me.

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 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.

The fight world is definitely a masculine thing, but I think it's pretty masculine if someone can avoid a fight 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.

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

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.
