I have a lot of respect for Mexico.

My preference is not to fight a Mexican.

Mexico has strict gun control. You cannot own a gun in Mexico.

I have tried my whole life to represent my Mexican roots with honor and pride.

It's a big responsibility and great motiviation to be a Mexican fighter who is admired, and I thank God for the support I get from Mexicans on both sides of the border.

You always try to fight someone from another country. But having said that, the public knows, everybody knows, when there's two Mexicans in the ring, there will be a war.

Mexico is now a country where we have justice and a rule of law that didn't exist here in past years.

I will maintain the presence of a Mexican Army, and the Navy and police in the states of the Mexican Republic, where the problem of crime has increased.

My life would be in danger if I return to Mexico.

Well, you know, the violence is mostly in Mexico itself, at least the violence that people are worried about. And so we want to make sure that violence does not spill over into our communities that are along the border.
