The World Motivation
Fighting in the cage brings much more adrenaline than fighting in the ring. When you step inside the Octagon and they close the door, that's really a high adrenaline feeling because they enclose you and one guy in the cage.

When you're fighting five rounds, I know I gotta move a lot.
I started fighting in 1999, and was at the top 3 of the division until 2008. It's an entire life.
I had many fights in Pride, many battles there.
Every single fighter in the UFC dreams to be the champ.
I have a lot of adrenaline. I have a naturally fast system. But I love to eat, and I am not skinny.
I'm quite shy. Television presents an amplified version of yourself. When I'm on camera I'm pumping more adrenaline, I'm being a bit more engaging than I am in everyday conversation, but that's normal, isn't it? Otherwise nobody would want to watch.
Sometimes nothing happens at a show for the first two hours, and in the last hour, we have to do all 70 girls. It's an adrenaline rush.
I specifically remember doing the musical 'Sweet Charity' at Stagedoor. I was playing Vittorio Vidal, which is a very funny part, and some other small roles. I couldn't really sing that well, but there were so many fun bits, and I just remember the tremendous adrenaline rush I felt from being onstage and hearing the audience enjoying it.
