I've fought on 'The Ultimate Fighter' in front of 30-40 people, and I kinda like that. There's no distractions.

I'm really into circuit training. You don't have to do each station for very long. Implementing some free weights, maybe a treadmill if you're at a gym, you can put together your own little circuit. Go hard for five minutes, take a minute break. Maybe do a one minute hard run on the treadmill, right into some pull ups.

I don't put Jardine on a pedestal or worry about any kind of step-up. He's just another fighter standing in the way of me achieving my goal.

I've fallen short in my career, in MMA, but it is what it is. You're going to do that. I just wanted opportunities.

When you're at the house, there's a lot of distractions and a lot of things that can take you away from your workout.

The wrong types of distractions generally aren't good. But they're going to have to be overcome by any team at some point.

In golf, you can battle a personal problem or a physical problem, but two distractions at once is very difficult to handle.

I can handle a lot of work. I've always been able to. I'm a very focused individual. I come to my studio at about 7:30 in the morning and exit almost 5:00 P.M. In that time, those eight or nine hours, it's kind of laser focus on whatever I'm working on. There aren't really any distractions or anything.
