Q: How would you describe your fighting style to those who haven’t watched you before?

Q: What do you think will be the biggest challenge you’ll give your opponent this season?

Heiderman: The diversity. If I can’t beat you on my feet, I’ll take you down. If I can’t take you down, I’ll beat you on my feet.

Q: Do you think there is going to be a challenge living in the same house with people that you’re actively competing against?
