Train hard, get good coaching and don't forget that its mixed martial arts. Don't get tied into one style of fighting and focus on multiple disciplines.

A fighter with heart will almost always win out against a fighter with skill but no will.

You just have to realize that Jet Li is a movie star. He's great at what he does, but if he stepped into our world he wouldn't last long.

I've never found that getting physical is ever the best response in a bar. You just have to make sure you keep your distance, and if it gets to a point where it gets aggressive then the best thing to do is go get a bouncer and get the situation resolved intelligently.

I'll fight somebody in my backyard for free, just to see if I'm better than him.

I'll always try to go the safest route, but once someone strikes you or puts their hands on you then it's on, at least for me.
