I've been in martial arts more than 20 years; I've seen fighters who barely have a professional fight say they're the best in the world. I've seen many people use these words. At the end of the day, that doesn't matter. What matters is when the door closes and everyone clearly sees who deserves or does not deserve something.

I'm doing what I love to do. Martial arts is my everything. It's my life, my philosophy, how I think, who I am.

Martial arts, for me, is not just some kind of job to gain some money or whatever. No, martial arts, for me, is my lifestyle, my religion, my philosophy... Martial arts are everything for me.

I'm not going to the past, and it's not tied to me, every time moving forward, and this is more important - to move forward every time.

Training with Guardiola is good. He's always talking to each player, trying to give them a vision of the style of football he wants to play.

International soccer has been a big part of my love for the sport. I love the Men's National Team. I can say that they're my favorite sports team.

At the start, you don't earn a great deal, so you have to work other jobs if you want to play football. When I was at Doncaster, I couldn't solely do football. I had to work; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to live.

Our home in Dubai is a beach house, so it's more casual and not formal in its tone. It's a holiday home. We are mostly in the pool or on the beach or in the sun. It's an outdoor place for the family. So there are mudbikes, a boat, football posts, and the pool is heated.
