My low center of gravity allows me to defend takedowns a lot better than most people. It's very hard to get to my legs. It's going to be really hard to take me down. There are a lot of positives to being my size.

A lot of people want to discredit me.

My training has always been really tough. I've always worked hard. I've always been very committed to my training and focused on my workout.

You have to run with a back like him. He has a low center of gravity. The big thing is his cutting ability. He's a slasher. He can cut on a dime and change direction like that. That's what you need in this league, someone who can do a lot of things in a small area. He's a threat to break it at any time. He's strong, too. He can be a power runner.

I think Mickey Gall's going to be really good.

You have to be very vocal about being willing to fight anyone.
