There will always be a place for 'The Ultimate Fighter.'
I want to be the first British person to lift a UFC World Title.
I swear to God, I don't even know who Demi Lovato is. My son has a crush on her. Apparently, he was sat next to her when I knocked Luke Rockhold out, so Demi Lovato knows who I am, that's for sure.
Let's be honest: I don't want to walk out to boos. I always want to be cheered, like anyone, and I've been very lucky over the years to have a lot of support. Coming to America, I'm always the away guy, and so people thought their guy had to take me out, and they boo.
What matters - the only thing that matters - is winning. It's nice to entertain the fans and to gain new ones, especially from the States, but on the night... that's all that matters.
As the UFC was getting bigger and bigger, I realized it was a potential career there, and that's what I did.
I'm not going to please everyone; not everyone's going to like me. I accepted that a long time ago, and if I had to shed a tear every time I got a hate email, believe me, I'd be severely dehydrated.
I think it's just in human nature: if you've got two guys fighting, and you don't really know them, you're going to root for the guy who comes from your country.
I started learning jiujitsu when I was eight years old. I had a lot of success and won ever competition I even entered.
I am proud to be the first British champion, and headlining MSG is a testament to all the hard work.
I have been involved in this sport since I was eight years old, so, hopefully, I can train and coach athletes down the line.
I don't need their love. If they want to boo, let them boo.
I love the way of life out in California, and I've made a lot of friends out there. The food is amazing.
I have nothing against America; I love spending time there. I fell in love with the country the very first time I went out there, and I have a lot of fans in the U.S.
Fighting at home does bring pressure - of course it does. But I've always thrived on that.
I beat Anderson Silva and then Luke Rockhold, who was, pound-for-pound, one of the best. Now I get to do Dan Henderson, who is a legend in the sport.
Back then in the early '90s, people weren't calling it MMA - we called it Knockdown Sport Budo.
Anderson Silva kind of took the best part of Rich Franklin out of his soul, and he was never the same again.
I'm an emotional fighter; that's no secret. But it can be detrimental.
I've been on both sides of the boos.
