“America thinks they know who you are based on a really small sample. We filmed 12 weeks, 24 hours a day, and they showed 12 hours. Not even 12 hours. 44 minutes every week.”

“It’s a little frustrating, but by the same token, some noise is better than no noise. I think I was kind of a victim of the editing process. Not necessarily victim in the sense that I’ve been hurt or injured by it, but I wasn’t really depicted as who I really am. Everybody in the house got into it with everybody else, but they just showed me.

“I’m looking forward to going out there and fighting and putting on an entertaining fight, because I realize this sport is not just fighting. This sport is entertainment. If you’re filling the seats and putting on exciting fights, you’re going to stick around. I’m definitely here to stay.”
