People need to understand that I came this far being chubby and all that. Imagine how far I could go actually being in good shape and looking good.

A lot of people say I'm not Mexican because I don't speak a lot of Spanish or am there a lot, but the United States is where it's at. Mexico's in my blood, in my DNA. It's in my kids' DNA.

A lot of fighters underestimate me. And what do you know? They end up being on the canvas.

That's what we're gonna do, baby, bring the titles back to Mexico.

Don't underestimate this little fat boy.

I discovered yoga in Sydney during my 'chubby' phase at this school on the beach that taught ashtanga-hatha flow. I gradually moved towards ashtanga, going beyond the primary level, which is a feat in itself, and even did an internship as I thought I wanted to become a yoga teacher.

Growing up, I was always chubby. My girlfriends were always running around in two-pieces, and I never felt comfortable to do that.

It's funny how a chubby kid can just be having fun, and people call it entertainment!

I was a normal, chubby little kid who tried everything.

I was fat when I was a kid. I was a little chunkier, but that's boring because everyone was fat when they were a kid, right? Didn't we all go through a chubby stage? Mine maybe lasted a little longer - mine went until, like, the end of high school.
