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.

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.

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

Football is my first passion. I've played it since I was a little kid.
