I like to watch women's MMA more than men fighting because they always do their best and fight hard.

When I started, athletes fought for honor, respect, philosophy.

I wanted to train jiu-jitsu instead of capoeira because the mat was soft. It was better than training capoeira on the hard floor. I started reading jiu-jitsu magazines, reading about the world champions, and becoming one of them became my goal.

I've never had any fear in my entire career.

I'm focused on football and my career. No one really has to doubt that. Outside, I do other things that make me happy.

The NBA has been extraordinary in its use and embrace of social media; they are by far the leader in professional sports.

A lot of people say second seasons are harder than the first because people are now expecting you to do stuff, so yes, that's down to me to work hard and try and improve and, like I say, just letting my football do the talking.

There is danger involved in combat sports, but this is the purest form of competition. It's all about finding the truth. When you put someone in a cage or a ring, you're going to find out the truth - not only about your opponent but about yourself as well.
