Growing up, I was poor. In college, I was poor. I never had anything.

The biggest challenge is learning how to psych yourself up into believing in yourself as you walk into the Octagon.

I will get out there and train harder than anyone, five times a day sometimes. You have to be a special person to do that - like, special forces, military maybe.

Being labeled as someone who would cheat hurts more than anything else I've ever been through in my career.

Art Nouveau got its inspiration from nature. The Bauhaus got its inspiration from engineering.

Honestly, the America of my childhood I'm not convinced is available anymore to my own children, and that is a significant motivation to want to go out and do something better for them and rest of my neighbors in Colorado.

My inspiration comes from my real life experiences.

That would be great if I could be a role model or inspiration to those who have been in my shoes before.
