I quit 'Magnum' to have a family. It took a long time to get off the train, but I try very hard to have balance, and this ranch has helped me do that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mother and father, Joe and Theresa Montana brought me along and taught me to never quit, and to strive to be the best.
I co-own the ranch with my brother, and he and his wife are really the backbone of the operation.
If I don't have the drive and determination to wake up every day and train with young, hungry fighters, if I don't want to do that, then I need to get out of the game, but as long as my body says I'm all right, and my hunger stays the same, I'm going to keep going.
I won't quit until I get run over by a truck, a producer or a critic.
With all this rehab, for me just to walk was a huge effort. I had to re-learn how to walk again after the stroke. And all the rehab and all the effort shows the mental determination times 10 to keep serving.
When I'm on family road trips, there is always Ranchera playing.
I'm lucky to have parents who used to be bodybuilders! They help me keep fit by going to the gym and training with me. I'm also addicted to Cardio Barre classes and hiking.
I'm guilty of eating Magnum bars before I go to sleep at night.
I won't try and combine training and a family.
I was lucky enough to have a father who said, 'Don't quit.' So I just kept going.
