I try not to worry about what people think and what people think I should do each fight, how impressive I need to be. I need to go out there and win; that's what it comes down to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't really think about or pay any mind to what everyone thinks about my fighting style or if they watch me fight; I just concentrate on myself.
I just have to go out and fight my fight and fight to win.
I like to make my fights exciting and different. Everybody in UFC can fight; we're capable of kickboxing, wrestling, but I like to stand out. That's what I really pride myself on. What can I do to stand out from the other people in my sport.
I like to win without fighting. But if I can't, then I'm prepared to fight.
You have to make sure you have the right people around you to get the right fights, and you're not guaranteed to get the best fights.
I've got an outspoken personality, which gets people thinking, and my style of fighting is aggressive. Everything's on the line all the time. In my fights, there's drama.
After every fight, I knock myself down. I start from scratch again. I say, 'I'm not as good as I thought.' It makes you work harder. It makes you push harder. It's more than money. It's more than the title. It's my pride, and it can be scary thinking about it. I could lose. It's scary.
I win by submissions, knockouts. There's guys ranked above me, but no one's interested in seeing them fight. They want to see me fight.
I'm a fighter. I'm very competitive.
You learn who you really are in a fight - what you're really made of. You have to face yourself and rise above your own fears and failings.
