TRAINING: I try and do jits, kickboxing, wrestling, and some form of conditioning every day. I usually don’t get it all done though.

Thoughts on opponent, Tito Ortiz? “It’s always nice to be in the main event, especially since I’m fighting at home. As far as the fight goes, a lot has happened since 2006, and I think I’m much better than I was back then. That means a win on November 21st, but more importantly I want to settle the score with Tito.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started in 2000, in the police academy. How did I get into it? Just got lucky I guess.
What ranks and titles have you held? Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, The Ultimate Fighter 1 Light Heavyweight winner.
Do you have any heroes? Heroes? Not really. I admire guys like Randy (Couture) and Chuck (Liddell) for their work ethic and the way they balance their lives and training.
What is your favorite technique? That's tough. I’m up for anything that will work.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means I get to do what I love most in life for a job.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? University Of Georgia- Major: B.A. in Political Science.
