The learning curve, and the things that you have to adapt to on a daily basis in the UFC, is pretty crazy. It's a huge burden for anybody to have: not just the fighting itself but learning how to deal with the other responsibilities.
There are so many variables that go into a fight, you shouldn't waste your time worrying about the other fighters.
I didn't need the belt to validate me.
I'm just a very impatient person. It's always something that I'm working on, and just staying interested in the fight game is the biggest challenge for me. As long as I'm interested and I have an incentive to stay interested, then I'm unbeatable.
From my perspective, if I say that I'm done, I would hope - and I trust - that my corner would throw in the towel for me.
I love spoiling a party. I love it when someone is on a roll and just messin' that up.
