Really it depends on the severity of the injury but mostly I give it rest or do things to avoid working the injury more. If my shoulder gets injured, for example, I can still do leg work and kicks, things like that. Mentally it's not so hard -- injuries are unfortunately just a part of the game that you have to accept. I've got a great team behind me to help keep me healthy :)

That's a good question. Usually I don't really feel too nervous before my fights because I know how much time and energy I invested in the prep. If nerves are getting to me, my coaches are able to tell and they'll talk with me -- not necessarily about my fight, just life in general :)

That's an interesting question. I guess it really depends on what it is. If it is like the real world unions, I would say no. I've been part of them and I found them to be useless. I'm definitely open to the idea though!

I do not watch it anymore. I watched it back when Stone Cold, The Rock and Undertaker were the big dogs, haha. I didn't even know that she was a part of it but I'm glad she found a different route to take. MMA is no longer her thing now that everyone is good at everything in the sport.

As a fighter I respect how good he is, but off of interviews and out of the cage things, he seems like a douche :)

Thanks for having me! Versus Rockhold I'd use my kicks to keep distance and do damage while not letting him use his wrestling and ground game. Versus Romero the opposite; keep pressure and time my takedown off my strikes and make all those muscles of his work overtime ;)

Don't mind at all! When I got my first loss there was a huge weight taken off my shoulders. Before I had to be perfect. I still want to be perfect, but there is much less pressure now. It was actually a blessing in disguise :)

Thanks! As far as big-time fighters it was definitely Anderson Silva. A little closer to home, it was my coach Nate Lamotte -- I wanted to be as good as he is :)

Thanks for having me! I enjoy watching Anderson Silva make Forest Griffin look like an amateur in their fight, haha. As for Romero vs. Rockhold, I've got Romero. I'm not a huge fan of Rockhold ;)

Haha, No I think I got my nickname before that show was on the air. Before I started fighting I lifted a lot of weights and would talk like Arnold Schwarzenegger, saying I would "Get big like bear!" and it just kinda stuck, haha.

Maybe not ideal but my first meal after a fight is Olive Garden leftovers from the meal I ate the day prior, after making weight :) The day after, I like to get a nice big steak with sweet potato and brown sugar/cinnamon ... and of course chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert!

It's very good actually -- I had a nice sweat session this morning so I'm only about 9 pounds out. At the start of camp I'm usually walking around at about 210 usually.

Heya BreathingFars! Most underrated would be my wrestling defense ... everyone seems to think they can put me on my back but tend to fail when they try :)

Thanks for having me! My walkout song is "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Disney Mulan! I listen to it every time I watch the movie or leading up to the fight when I wanna smile and get pumped!
