I started doing MMA and boxing at the same time - I always wanted to try an MMA fight to see what it was like. I had one fight, and I was hooked.

I know MMA isn't for everyone. It is a combat sport; some people don't like watching it, but it is entertainment for some people.

What got me into MMA first was that I was a wrestler, and I was a gangbanger getting into trouble a lot and getting into fights. I grew up in a family of 15 in a four-bedroom house. It was dysfunctional, so that alone made me want to be an MMA fighter. It's really the only sport where you gotta basically depend on yourself.

I didn't really have intentions of fighting in MMA; it just kind of fell into place. Once I started fighting, though, I loved it, and I walked away from kickboxing right away.

I'm a huge boxing and mixed martial arts fan.

When I went to college, I came across MMA. My first reaction was, 'No, I don't want to fight. I just want to learn jujitsu.' I didn't know what UFC was; in my mind it was this violent, ugly sport. But when I watched my first amateur fight, I fell in love with the sport and thought it was beautiful.

I do boxing; I do a little jiu jitsu, which I am obsessed with.

I love boxing. I like to see the strategizing. Watching the warriors go to work. I like that struggle, going out there and fighting.

I have fought all over the world, and I am excited to be in 'EA Sports MMA' because this game is going to show the global appeal of mixed martial arts.

There wasn't much money in this sport when I started, but I didn't get into it because of money. I loved to fight, and I loved MMA.
