When I first got into the UFC I still had this chip on my shoulder - I was trying to prove myself. "My goal is to prove I'm the smartest and most intelligent fighter in the UFC and I'm going to have a long and storied career. I'm done trying to prove I'm the toughest in the world, that got me to a certain stage in my carer. There are a lot of fighters in Asia, great stand-up fighters, all the Thai fighters. Brazilians come, Americans come, fighters from Africa.
