The World Motivation
My first nine fights were all tournaments where I fought multiple fights in one night. The toughest was obviously three fights in one night for the finals of RINGS, which was a 32-man tournament.

I am aggressive throughout and always trying to finish a fight.
Normally that's not my type of fight, a little bit boring.
The last goal in my career is to get a UFC belt.
That was probably the biggest thing going in my favor when I got into fighting - my wrestling background.
The guys I fought, so many of them are coming off wins or ranked or coming off winning streaks.
I'm a brown-skinned Indian immigrant, low-caste untouchable - I don't know how many labels you want to put on me - who's fought all his life.
My mom and dad are from Mexicali, and I feel more Mexican than others who were born in Mexico because I fought for my race and for Mexico.
Jimmy Stewart lived for movies, fought for his country, and died for love. Now isn't that a wonderful life?
People have certain ideas of what they think you should be, and I have fought that categorisation my whole life.
