Q-What’s your favorite quote?

A-“When doubt seeps in you got two roads you can take either road. You can go to the left or you can go to the right and believe me, they’ll tell you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous. Failure is always an option. Failure is the most readily available option at all times, but it’s a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed. And if we can plant seeds and let him know, ‘Move your feet, keep your hands up, stay off the bottom.’ That is the road to victory, or self-doubt and negative talk, and that is the road to failure. But failure is always there, and it’s okay to recognize that. If I can leave you with anything today, in my long journey through this is, one, it’s okay. Two, it’s normal. And as athletes and especially as men, as male athletes we hate to admit weakness to ourselves, and when you’re dealing with something and you got some kind of a hiccup, yeah, first thing is acknowledge it.” -Chael Sonnen


Q- In closing the forum is yours, you have the freedom to say whatever you would like.

A-First and foremost I’d like to thank God for everything, and I love my wife Angelann and my son Abel. Thank you to all my family and friends that support me. Thank you to my coaches, and training partners. Thank you to everyone that I’ve ever had the opportunity to train with. Rest in peace Billy “Mojo” Horne.
