To counter the growing "entitlement" in the sport he likes to try to set an example for what a fighter should be: respectful of the rules, staying out of other's business and settling scores in the ring.

Beneath his serious outlook, he is starting to have doubts about whether he has staying power as a top talent and worries that he peaked early in his career.
