I've been the underdog my whole life.

Win or lose or draw, you always go back and critique your performance and say you could have done things better. Even if I put the guy away in one round, I can go back and say I made a lot of mistakes and need to tighten up. But that's the type of person I am. Improve. Improve. Improve. When I lose I come back stronger than ever.

Everybody has their own path. Everybody peaks at different times.

I'm not fighting just to fight. I'm fighting to be the world champ.

I'm not the same fighter I used to be.

If you move in and out, throw shots and use angles and the guy's feet are planted, you look a lot better.

I try to work on the small things.

I have mouths to feed and I want big fights!

There's always the pressure to win. That never goes away, but being a main event, I want to go out there and put on a great show for the fans and live up to being a main event. That doesn't really stress me out or pressure me anymore. The fight is enough.
