Let's be honest: I don't want to walk out to boos. I always want to be cheered, like anyone, and I've been very lucky over the years to have a lot of support. Coming to America, I'm always the away guy, and so people thought their guy had to take me out, and they boo.

I started learning jiujitsu when I was eight years old. I had a lot of success and won ever competition I even entered.

One of my proudest moments is definitely UFC 105 in Manchester when I stopped Denis Kang in the second round.

When everybody fought Anderson Silva in the past, they were terrified of him. Absolutely terrified. That's part of the reason why he was so successful.

When I was a young girl I had to deal with people calling me weird and strange because I spent so much time around boys playing football.

When I started playing, there were no teams and no structure, so I had to play with the boys. I get very emotional when I think about the humiliation that I've suffered playing football.

Belief is such an important aspect of sport.

Instead of being like the other kids going to soccer or football practice, I was wrestling every day.
