People think I’m just the shoey guy, but I take fighting seriously. I just don’t take myself seriously. Life’s too short to be a dickhead.

I carry my culture with me every time I step into the cage. My tattoos, my walkouts—it’s for my mob back home and my Samoan family. I’m proud to represent both sides.

I’m not here to be a technical fighter. I’m here to knock people out and have a beer. That’s the Aussie way.

I saw someone do it in the crowd once, and I thought, ‘That’s gross… but I’ll do it!’ Now it’s my thing. If the fans love it, I’ll keep doing it. It’s all about having a good time.
