"Fatherhood has taken all the pressure off me. It's not about Jared anymore. No matter what happens, the pressure's not on me, man. I could go, get paralyzed tomorrow and it doesn't matter because I have to move forward for my daughter."
"Jim's a great name, legend of the sport. Most UFC wins, most UFC fights. But come Saturday night, he's just another guy."
