I had a small refrigerator and a little microwave, and my shower was a hose at the back of the building. I literally lived there for about six months. One of my students gave me a Bible. I read the whole Gospel of Matthew that night. I remember crying because of what Jesus did for humanity and then coming to a realization of who God is and it changed my outlook on life.
My faith in God is one of the foundations I hold very dear. I find myself praying all the time and thanking [God] for being there with me through difficult times and just caring for me so much! RM: There has been significant growth in the UFC and the international sport of mixed martial arts in recent years. What are your thoughts on how the sport is perceived and why it has become so popular? MM: In one sense, the sport is a great platform for anyone who wants to learn a martial art and to understand what it takes to get to that next level in a physical or mental way.
You learn a lot about you in the journey and as a sportsman. I can be the next superstar. I did it as a means of wanting to learn the martial arts and for bettering myself. Do you have any future plans for film and television? MM: It was a unique experience. I got to be in a movie which is coming out this summer [] starring Kevin James, playing myself as a MMA coach. RM: Finally, you have two young children, both boys.
What kind of message do you think this sport could give to boys or young men in general? MM: I think if someone teaches kids properly what it takes to be a professional combat fighter, not just the athleticism, but teaches them the perseverance and endurance it takes to get to the top level as a professional athlete, then I definitely believe that kids could experience tremendous personal growth through training and competition — and that is a very positive thing.

The American and maybe even international Muay Thai scene seem to hold him in quite a high regard but I could never find much information and footage about his actual fights and find out who he even fought.
Care to educate me? TonyK , Oct 20, Joined: May 16, Messages: 5, Likes Received: Nothing special at all. He gets on these TV shows all the time to break baseball bats and "world champ" is mentioned everytime, so people think he was a God of Muay Thai or something. Cocakillbana , Oct 20, Only thing I saw was him getting beaten up by Masato. By leg kicks, btw. JKG , Oct 20, Joined: May 31, Messages: 2, Likes Received: 0.
