When I prepare for a fight, I never expect it to be easy. I believe that that would create a chance for me to not give my best in the Octagon.
Having your father to help you to get back up is good, but you need to get up by yourself and walk alone. Life goes on.
Every fight is a new story, a new training camp.
Its not just about competition: it's my life, my lifestyle. So I train every day, and I feel very good, because sometimes training is like meditations for me; it's a good escape to me to the problems for everything.
If you lose three or four in a row, people start talking about retirement. They are not used to this sport like they are used to tennis. If you take a look at how many times Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer lost, it's all part of the game. Soccer is no different: teams go through bad times and then rise again.
I don't fight without being prepared, even when I lose.
