I always believed in myself, and even in the bad times, when I'd do bits of greatness here and there, it was those kinds of things that kept me alive and helped me to get to where I am now.
From Robbie Lawler
Holly Holm is a heck of an athlete and a heck of a fighter.
I don't really pick my opponents.
Who am I to say anybody can't do what they want to do and create their own destiny if they believe in something?
There's always going to be some phenom fighter coming up. If they're special athletes and highly trained, they'll do big things.
I'm just trying to be a better fighter every time I compete, so it's all about being more strategic and looking for a way to get a finish.
I was a huge Mike Tyson fan, would sit through the night watching boxing matches and would hit the bag at every opportunity I would get.
In college, I tried to start wrestling as soon as I could and when it was available to me, as I loved competing, and then got into MMA under Pat Miletich, where I was able to sharpen all my skills and develop into a true fighter.
I was always into martial arts and boxing.
Fighting somebody like Manhoef, who can take anyone out at any point in time - that was a big win for me and one of the best finishes. In that fight, it wasn't looking good for me, but I kept believing in myself and was able to land a big shot, which was huge!
