The key to anything in boxing and life is sticking to it. Never give up.
I stay ready so I don't have to get ready.
Ain't no boundaries, ain't no limits.
Sometimes you start a little further back from the starting line. And you're going to have to work a little bit harder, and push it faster to get to the finish. I'm willing to put in the work, to compensate for other things, to get ahead, to get to where I want to be.
You really can't worry about stuff you can't control. . . You need to focus on getting where you need to be and not worry about what could have been and what should have been.
When it comes to fighting you shouldn't be thinking at all. You have to clear your mind and trust yourself completely.
Yeah, I get to fight in 'Eclipse. ' My trainer is teaching me MMA right now. So. Cool.
I never aspired to be 2nd. I was taught. . . you can do whatever you want in this world, so why not be the best in the world?
Everything takes time. You have to love the journey and the process.
Choose To Be Inspired.
The nerves are good because that keeps you from relaxing too much and getting caught off guard.
Awkward, odd, and difficult situations will always present themselves. You just have to stay cool and work through them.
You're never too good to get better. . . take that and apply that to everything in your life.
Jiu-Jitsu for sure will save your ass, one way or another. Not necessarily a physical fight but also being able to deal with yourself, know about yourself, and really improve yourself as a whole.
There are no other factors that cause me stress when I get inside the Octagon. I guess that's an advantage of getting older.
My first love is MMA. . . it's something that I did because it made me feel good.
You can't enter a contest emotionally charged. It clouds your judgment, it clouds your reaction.
Life isn't easy, life isn't fair, when you get your chance, make sure you take it.
Pressure is an illusion, but I like that illusion of pressure.
It is not the material which gives life form but the space between the material that gives life form.
