I win and lose in one way. And that's either putting them to sleep or putting it on the line and going to sleep.

I am a Division I All-American wrestler, but I wrestled college wrestling matches, seven minutes long. If I was to go in there and wrestle for seven minutes of a fight, a 25-minute fight, you're not getting nothing out of me for the rest of the time.

I went to college, I wrestled and I took some amateur fights. When I graduated, I wanted to start using my degree, but I figured I would start fighting professionally. Then I won 18 in a row and I fought Eddie Alvarez on pay-per-view.

I'm trying to be as real as I can and I'm being myself. I'm not gonna create an act.

I have a human services bachelors degree and I want to work social work, I want to work with at-risk youth.

You have to learn how to fight through when it sucks and it's really hard.

There's not a lot of people that can sit there and take the punishment that I can deliver.

I wrestled Jordan Burroughs two times - Jordan Burroughs had a hell of a time trying to take me down. I stopped his double leg numerous times. And he also, probably, fractured my sternum - from me trying to stop him.

I could lose and it could be the best fight ever, it still does great things for me.
