I train with faster, lighter guys, I train with guys from my category. I also train with heavyweight guys.
That's why I train with faster guys, lighter guys, my category and with the heavyweight guys. Because I want to be ready for everything.
You can train with heavyweight guys, you can train with 205 guys but this is training. A fight is completely different.
Some guys train more, some guys train less; everyone needs to cater to what works best for them.
When you fight in the UFC and train with the guys that I train with, you learn that there is always still a lot of work to do.
Aside from a handful of guys boxing is missing the good trainers, that's why our sport is so in the air now because we don't have people who have the capability to not only train fighters but also train and create decent respectable citizens of the world.
There's guys who train hard. There's guys who believe they're real tough. But there's only a certain amount of guys who believe - like, really believe - they should be the champion. I know I have that mentality, and I know other guys who have that mentality.
I tend to stick to my team guys, the guys I train with here at Greg Jackson's, because when they're in there, I feel like I'm in there.
When you think about the guys who started Twitter, and the Google guys, and the Facebook guys and the Napster guys, and the Microsoft guys, and the Dell guys and the Instagram guys, it's all guys. The girls, they're being left behind.
Guys cross train all the time. That's what Alpha Male's known for, guys have open doors to come in all the time.
My next step is give opportunities so that guys can train. I watch here in Brazil and we've lost a lot of talent just because guys don't have a membership to the gym. I want to make free gyms in the community.
I train jiu-jitsu and judo with the best guys there is, and the best guys for ground and pound.
Some guys don't have to work out as hard as other guys do, but if you balance all that together then your longevity is definitely going to be greater. So, I would tell my 20-year-old self not to over-train.
For me there is no reason why to go up in weight class, because when you go up in weight class you have to fight bigger guys - then you have to train against bigger guys. The guys are not better, they're heavier, but it means you have more chance to get hurt.
I think a lot of guys make a mistake of training less as they get older. I think the older you get, the harder you have to train. Maybe you don't train as long, but the intensity goes up.
It was like the classic scene in the movies where one lover is on the train and one is on the platform and the train starts to pull away, and the lover on the platform begins to trot along and then jog and then sprint and then gives up altogether as the train speeds irrevocably off. Except in this case I was all the parts: I was the lover on the platform, I was the lover on the train. And I was also the train.
When you're coming up, and you have Matt Hughes, Tim Sylvia, Jens Pulver and Pat Miletich, Jeremy Horn to train with and compete with - guys that have fought in Japan, all over the world - and you see these guys every day, you just embrace the grind and get after it: you have no choice but to succeed.
