what they’ve said

• “It’s not too hard. Fighting takes up about as much time as anyone else’s hobby. Guys that play golf probably spend more time a day playing golf than I do on fighting. As far as athletically, it takes about 45 minutes to work out in the morning and about an hour and 30 minutes in the afternoon, and that’s it. Then you’ve got drive time, but other than that, you’re inside less than three hours a day, so you can fit it in as a hobby.” – chael sonnen
