The young guys keep me motivated. Youngsters coming up behind me.

I remember kickboxing and traveling the world when I was young. I would go to Japan or Africa, and I would go for the experience. As soon as I got off the plane, we'd go have a good time, party. Fighting was just the outlet of what I was doing there.

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.

We were really tickled with our young guys coming in there and competing the way that they did. We didn't run a bunch that won indoor state, so that's good when they compete like that.

When Kevin went out, the team pulled together. Our young guys did well. It was almost like the youngsters wanting to do well for their big brother.

The youngsters that come in here are 15 days behind, and everything is all Greek to them. Everything is clear as mud to them. But someday it's going to open up like a rose petal for all of them.
