“I want to be the most influential champion, in a positive light. I want to change the world. I want to encourage people to be nicer to each other, to be nicer to themselves.”

It causes both people to face the reality that we are fragile beings, but it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy ourselves in the process and punch each other in the face and have a good time.”

“You can just hit the bag. If you don’t want to hurt anybody, you can get your aggression out. Because everybody has some, I believe.”
