You are fighting in many different places, against various fighters, sometimes on short notice. What are your goals as a fighter? What you are trying to accomplish?
I’m just getting fights right now. My goal is to win the UFC title, or the Strikeforce title at 205. I’m currently in process of cutting down to Light Heavyweight.
Wow, that’s a big news Jeff. And what’s your current weight?
I’m currently 230. So I need to cut 25 pounds. It’s not a big deal for me, and I’m actually used to it from the days when I wrestled in the college.
You are 39 years old. For how long you are planning to continue your career as a Mixed Martial Artist?
As long as I’m enjoying it, I will compete. Or when I’m just unable to win any fights. I’m still getting better, and my best fights are still ahead of me. I’m blessed that I get to travel to countries like Israel. That I have an opportunity to meet new people and do something I love to do. You know, there’s a reason why professional athletes don’t like retiring. That’s something that we do.
