BEST MOMENTS
"I think a lot of it stands with filling a void. I've suffered with mental health, anxiety and depression through a lot of my life and filling that void for me is going to the gym and venting and getting that aggression out."
"I think what's, you've got to see what's important in life, especially someone in my position is it doesn't matter what people's opinion of you. What's important to me is people around me, you know, my family, my friends, that's it.”
"I basically had to go into that fight six months after the operation and fight Thor one armed”
"You're actually evoking through free will, your deepest pains, to get stronger”
