The World Motivation
I always thought fighting was fun, so I joined a gym and took it serious. I never actually thought I would be a real fighter, though. But I began to excel on the local circuit and I did well for myself.

The better placement you get, the more it adds up to sponsorship dollars, and the more fans see you and want to see you.
I liked the sport of martial arts because I loved anything that involved contact, conflict or collision. But as a young kid, I wasn't able to box, do karate or anything like that. I stuck to your traditional team sports in football and baseball.
Even back when I was on 'The Ultimate Fighter,' I said learning is what I like to do on my off time. I like to learn knew things and sharpen the skills I already have. I don't train crazy when I'm off. I listen to my body and I'm smart about it but I'm always training and learning. I want to always be a better fighter than I was the last time.
I grew up in the USTA's junior circuit.
Suzuka is a nice circuit.
We live in the countryside, 15 minutes from the closest town, so I would never have time to drive and go somewhere. So I have a personal trainer come to my house, normally three times a week, and we do circuit training depending on what I need.
I love to hit the gym when I can. I usually work out three times a week and do circuit training.
The Spa-Francorchamps circuit has a special place in my heart.
