Do you have any heroes? My heroes are Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Bas Rutten, and Wanderlei Silva - natural bad-asses.

What is your favorite technique? Knees, anywhere - face, body, leg, whatever...as long as they land with power

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? To fight in the UFC means everything to me. Staying in the UFC means even more. I've been waiting years for this opportunity.
