"I love fighting because it is me against him.  I don't have to depend on anybody else to be successful.  I started when I was done wrestling in college and wanted to continue to be active and stay in shape.  I have been wrestling since I was 5 years old and wrestled through college where I was three time all-american.  If it was not for wrestling I certainly would not be fighting today."
