As the UFC was getting bigger and bigger, I realized it was a potential career there, and that's what I did.

I watched the UFC way back in the day, before there were time limits. I always knew it's what I wanted to do some day.

Once I started fighting in UFC, things took a big U-turn. After my second fight, I came home and paid my mortgage off.
