Everybody wants to defeat the defending champs.

It was definitely some tough moments throughout my life, but I kind of stayed focused and came through the other end of the tunnel.

The most important thing is that I'm in a position to take care of my family and take care of my moms, man. I can take care of myself now and my mom is able to just worry about herself and do what she wants to do.

I was afraid I would see someone from my past who thought I was this big athlete, and then I end up being just normal.

My mom lived by herself with two kids. Sacrifice was the name of the game at our house.

I can just sense some eyes, some people kinda stare a little bit like they recognize me but don't quite know for sure kinda thing.

There's only one life. There's no repeats. You only get one life, and you gotta take advantage of it.
