You're nervous because you're afraid of the outcome. Accept the worst outcome... You'll be free & fight like you're able to.

You have to be true to yourself and remain humble. Whether you win or lose, you've got to treat everyone the same, and be who you are.

If losing a fight is the worst thing that's ever happened to you in your life, you're doing pretty good.

Learn from your mistakes, make adjustments, and go out and compete again. That's the mark of championship spirit.

I'm not scared to fail, I'm not scared to lose, I'm not scared to die, for that matter... It's going to work out the way it's supposed to work out.

In some way I felt I was never good enough until I started fighting. I was always striving to show my worth and value.

I picture success and winning. The body has a physical response to mental images of winning.

I love the training, love the competition, and I still feel like I'm progressing and getting better as a fighter.

I haven't placed any limits on myself

Who are my influences? Everybody.

For want of a naile the shoe is lost, for want of a shoe the horse is lost, for want of a horse the rider is lost.

Confidence quickly curdles into arrogance; smarts turn to smugness, charm turns to smarm.

I buy everything in sight. It took my last ounce of control not to buy one of these in every color.

As far as Im concerned, I regret nothing.

Black lives matter. White lives matter. Asian lives matter. Hispanic lives matter. That's anti-American and it's racist.
