I am not a big crier. But I'd say it was after the Mendes fight. It was not because of the fight as such. It was everything leading up to it. It had been such a tough time. When I did my knee, I had some very dark times. Life is all about ups and downs and I'd say there had been a lot of downs, but I got through it, I won and after the fight, I was standing in the shower and I was crying, just letting it all go.

My diet is usually pretty consistent whether I'm training for a specific fight or not. I don't like to mess too much with it.

A fight is mental, not just physical and psychological warfare is absolutely part of that.

I don't feel negative emotions. I feel calm, composed and ready. And as it goes on I get better at it. By the time the fight is on, I don't feel any emotions at all.

Late switches are part of fighting and I've handled them all.

I won't ever shy away from a fight and if it makes sense down the road, I'll do it. But it will be on my terms.

There are people who have great skills, who do great things, but don't embody the whole animal that is the fight game like I do.

Face adversity head on in your training and you will conquer it smoothly in your fight.

Real champions fight through adversity.
