I want all of the blue collar American working class people to know that I'm out there fighting for them.

Bull riding is fun, but fighting is it.

You have a short window, you know, and if I plan on living the lifestyle I want, I've got to make a nest egg.

I'm a working-class kid from a blue-collar New England family.

Aw man, I spend it pretty much as fast as I make it. If I want something, I don't wait around and plan or nothing. I just go out and get it.

I'm a guy who likes to keep fighting five, six times a year, so if I ask for too much money, they might say, 'Well, we pay you too much. We can't let you keep jumping backwards and forwards and promote it.' The money I'm making is good to keep grabbing short-notice fights. I love them; they're my favorite ones.
