My father created this whole MMA thing.
I train with top guys like Chuck Liddell and Lyoto Machida, I have trained with Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, and nobody have ever dominated me.
Fighting in Bellator is a dream come true for me.
There are boxing fans, and there are fans of the UFC. People want to see blood, but people like both.
When I first started wrestling, I didn't even want people to know I was in the UFC.
I'm training at everything. Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, striking. Everything. I think to be in the UFC, you have to be well rounded at everything. That's the goal.
I've kind of grew to enjoy fighting legends that I got into the sport watching and admiring.
I'm just blessed to be fighting in the UFC.
My love for mixed martial arts will never waver.
I love watching 'UFC' - Ultimate Fighting Championship - I don't know why, because I'm more of a coward than a fighter, but I seem to be very drawn to these blokes actually smashing each other to bits.
My friends joke that I'm a young veteran in the UFC.
I saw my first UFC fight when I was 15 and figured, 'This is what I want to do when I grow up.'
Mixed martial arts is great, and it's here to stay.
I feel like MMA athletes are the best athletes in the world.
I'm not fanatical or in love with being an MMA fighter.
I think all the fight stuff. I'm cut out for that. I used to wrestle in high school so I really love it, yeah. I love all the fighting and martial arts. Hey, why am I not up there? Oh, it's just a rehearsal. Keep going.
I want to go against the best fighters. That's why I'm always calling out Georges St-Pierre.
I remembered watching the first UFC. You couldn't get it on TV. They were doing it bare knuckles. No gloves. I wanted to do that.
In this sport, the good thing about the UFC and MMA in general is a lot of it's based on perception.
I'm always training to fight the best fighters in the world, and if the UFC wants me to fight Georges St-Pierre, then I will fight him.
I knew I'd be in the UFC since I started my career.
Tournaments, traditionally, are kind of the way martial arts contests happen.
I didn't and still don't watch sport all that often, but I did see all the Pride fights back in the day, which is when I first saw MMA and I felt that's something I really want to do.
I respect all the fighters. I respect Georges St-Pierre because Georges has a great story in the UFC. I respect all the fighters in here because this is the biggest sport in the world.
In MMA, all of these coaches are doing their best.
