There's only one legend. That's me.

My experience won this fight…. I knew I was in control. I was not scared. He was not hitting me with anything that was hurting me.

I am not an animal in my personal life. But in the ring there is an animal inside me. Sometimes it roars when the first bell rights. Sometimes it springs out later in a fight. But i can always feel it there, driving me and pushing me forward. It is what makes me win. It makes me enjoy fighting.

Getting hit motivates me. It makes me punish the guy more. A fighter takes a punch, hits back with three punches.

I realized that my body can give me so much more.
