I know what martial arts have done for me. They've taught me integrity, self-control, perseverance and an indomitable spirit.

A lot of people look down on people who are successful, but Conor McGregor is successful because he runs his mouth and he knows how to put on a show. I mean, look at his press conferences. I mean, come on. People show up just to see him just act nuts. Hats off to that guy, he's a very intelligent, very smart guy.

A lot of people think martial arts are just fighting, but it's character-building, too, and I want to give back.
