I don't even think in the future, pay-per-view is going to exist. You see Netflix and Amazon and what they're doing, and that's a model I think is going to grow and grow.
I have had regrets along the way, but when I leave this sport, I'll do so with my head held high. I know I gave it my heart and soul, and I tried to learn and be better every day.
If you regret a mistake, don't just make that mistake again. Look at it and learn from it and grow from it.

Everything you do involves sacrifice. My work is to honor my principles, my opponent, and what I believe in. I stand for it, I fight, and I try to get better every day as a human being.
How many fighters are going to be able to leave the legacy that I did? Nineteen years old, I came and I conquered.
