“I love fighting. I was born for it. I love being in the cage. When you go in the cage, people think that you go in there to beat people up. That’s not what I go in there for. I go in there to test myself, to me it’s a spiritual experience. I want to know about myself and I feel like the cage is the one place in the universe that you can’t lie to yourself.”
