“Everybody can (lose) on a given day. That’s why we have long shots in racing. I tell her — she makes a fortune from the UFC, fighting — but I tell her, ‘if you could retire when you’re on top and just do movie work.’ Like I do movie work and I got a retirement […]

“I’m the most hated guy in the UFC. I don’t know why. That’s the way it’s always been. I’m not very happy, but what can I do? Hopefully 2015 brings me a better year and I can be happy again. Hopefully good things are coming my way and I can be positive. I can finally […]
