I have gone from training by myself to having a team of professional people that have been building athletes for years.

People say they start from the bottom. If you want to see someone who's started from the bottom, go and look at my career. My first 10 fights, I think I paid for them myself. I've fought three times in one month.

I need to know what I'm doing. I've got my own career. I'm not waiting.

My career does not depend on AJ. He's got four of the belts, but if I'm mandatory for one or two of them and he doesn't fight me, they will strip him at some point.

Flash Forward' was one of the big heartbreaks of my career. It was just this very frustrating experience. If we'd been allowed to tell the story we wanted to tell, I don't know that it would've been more successful or not. There's no way to know.

A public office is not a job, it is an opportunity to do something for the public.

The idea that you can create a template that will work forever doesn't happen in any business. There's some really, really bright people in this business. You can't do the same thing the same way and be successful for a long period of time.

My life/career is more filled with left-field thrills than I could ever have hoped for.
