You're speechless sometimes when you think of the support you've had from the first day I've started wrestling to now.

A true champion and athlete is never satisfied with their performance. You can always do more and always improve.

They say people from small towns have big dreams and that pretty much describes me. I had big dreams growing up and I'm still a dreamer.

In this sport, in this life, I think heart takes you a lot further than skill and technique... Just digging down deep will take you a lot further in life.

I'm far from a saint.

Most of my fights, I push the pace. I'm the aggressor.

People will respect what wrestling has to offer to this world. It will take educating themselves on more than just guys in there swinging for the fences.

I consider myself a very driven and intense fighter.

I am in the Chicago Carpenters Union. They are huge supporters of mine and of MMA.

To succeed and reach your life goals, you must know who you are

Maybe I am just an old fool with foolish thoughts, but those foolish thoughts allow this old fool to sleep quite comfortably at night.

She’ll find you. Her need to know you will eventually consume her.

There's no such thing as an overnight success. It took me a long to get there.

A painter can hang his pictures, but a writer can only hang himself.

I discovered early in life that if you take gym first period, you can go into the wrestling room and sit in the corner and sleep.

Revenge isn't always as sweet as it seems

Genetic engineers don't make new genes, they rearrange existing ones.

By changing nothing, nothing changes.
