If you are surrounded by your competition and you are outworking these people, outmaneuvering these people, it's hard not to let your confidence take over. It just builds and builds and builds.

People are so caught in a routine, doing the same things over and over.

The left paw has done me well over the years. I'm not a scientist, I'm a martial artist.

Some people take defeat and losses a certain way. You see how some fighters take losses.

I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I'm inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.

Competition gives me energy. It keeps me focused.
