I went through a training camp; I worked extremely hard. I prepared for UFC 200. This was the big one. This one meant everything to me.

My training has always been really tough. I've always worked hard. I've always been very committed to my training and focused on my workout.

If you're the UFC champion, you're the best in the world at what you do, and I get the opportunity to do that.

It's actually looking really good. I felt I worked really hard in training camp. I like getting back in the hockey atmosphere and hanging out with the guys. It's been a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to the rest of the year.

I went and worked at a TV station in Stillwater. I was actually account manager for commercial accounts, selling ad space and everything.

My confidence comes from my fights and my training.
