You want to believe it, so you believe it. At the end of the day, I&#8217;m an athlete. This is what I know how to do \u00e2?? entertain people and kick ass. This is what I want to focus on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You grow up real fast in this business and see how honest people are. I always do right by people in business because I don&#8217;t want to burn any bridges. I always keep my word and I just want everybody else to do the same. I know I have a lot to offer this sport &#8211; otherwise, promotions wouldn&#8217;t want to sign me. So, why not keep the athletes who make you money, happy?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As fighters, we do everything for cheap. We hook up with sponsors for cheap, we fight for cheap. That&#8217;s just the M.O. So, I&#8217;m just locked in there with everyone else, but why not do it for the most money you can be paid, then? Another big reason why I decided to keep fighting is because of my sponsor, Monster. They&#8217;ve been real supportive of me, really great to me, whether I fight or not, but I know they sponsor me to fight.
