The World Motivation
Years and years ago, like in 2006, my wife, I didn't have a car, she would drive me to weigh-ins, we would sleep in broken-down motels and I would fight the next day. Just me and her.

This sport is a crazy thing, and what happens, it's unpredictable.
My goal is to prosper and be a world champion and make money and retire and say I did it.
Korean Zombie beat me, and I was prepared that night. He beat me, he beat me that night.
I don't want to have an asterisk next to my accomplishments for the rest of my life. I don't want everybody to say, 'interim champ' every time someone says Dustin was the champion.
I'll never forget when I was 12 years old. I couldn't wait until the day I was 16 and could drive a car. I thought that'd be the end of life's problems. I mean, you can drive! What is there left? And then I turned 16 and realized there were still problems.
I drive a Range Rover almost every day, but my favorite is my '69 SS Camaro.
I am so proud to be a Philadelphian. I believe there's a different drive and hustle that's instilled in us.
Entitled people drive me insane. The world owes you nothing! Get over it!
People see my impressions as a great skill and I am flattered, but there are things I can't do that everyone else can. I can do funny voices and funny faces but I can't drive.
