"I think now another cycle of my life will begin where I will also give my all. I will dedicate myself. I already have a plan to be a manager now. This plan was tucked away in a drawer. Now it's time to take it out of the drawer."
"I think it's possible to help many athletes get to the UFC, and get to the UFC with good work. I think there are many managers who just put the guy there and give the minimum amount of help, but it doesn't really help a guy to have a professional career as it should be."
"Like helping the guy on social media, helping the guy with relationships, helping him become a brand. That's something I really wanna do when I'm a manager."
"Also, understanding the matchmaking, the fights you can make, and what the best fights are. There will be tough fights, but there had to be a good cost-benefit ratio."
