“To be honest I haven’t really worked a regular job since maybe 2005, Basically, I’ve gotta make a living." “When you’re injured it’s one of those sports where you can live off what you made for a little bit but we don't make that much money so you have to go on to other things. I'm just taking care of myself and my family as best I can right now.”Despite his new occupation, the 31-year-old hasn't ruled out a return to fighting.
“When you’ve been through what I’ve been through you have to really take your time and come up with a battle plan. I also know that, in fighting, there are no guarantees. I have a life to live, I have a mortgage to pay, I have bills. “Do I stop working, live off my credit in order to fight when I could get injured? There’s a big risk-reward thing. I’m not ruling it out. I definitely love fighting.”Time will tell whether the former lightweight contender will ever grace an Octagon again. Whatever he decides to do, we wish him all the best.
