“I’ve been in deep waters a bunch of times in my fights.”

Whatever the UFC wants to pay me for, that’s fine.

That’s usually the way I am – I don’t care what my opponent can do. I just focus on myself.

I’m not scared to fight anyone, I’ll call anyone out.

For sure, I would love to fight in Houston.

I’m an optimistic guy.

That would be great if I could be a role model or inspiration to those who have been in my shoes before.

It would be cool to let people know that it doesn’t matter what kind of background you have in your past, that you can still make something out of your life.

I don’t care if I am ever remembered in this sport for anything.

I go in to fight just to fight. I don’t care about submissions, the technique and all of that.

The sport itself is dangerous. Anything can happen.

I don’t fight just because I love it just that much. I’m fighting because it’s a job for me.

I hate being in boring fights. It frustrates me.

I go into every fight with a bad back and overweight and a damn-near diabetic.

Basically, I guess they just thinking I’ve been winning my fights just by luck. I just think I’ve been winning my fights on heart.

Like a lot of people have said, it’s not a bad loss to lose to Mark Hunt, so it’s really like a learning lesson.

There’s nothing I really want to accomplish. I already set my family up pretty good right now.
