“That’s my mission accomplished,” he reflected. “I’ve won it all. I’ve won everything, and my dad was saying to me, ‘Just retire now, son, you retire at the top.’ I was like, ‘Absolutely, but you know, I can be at the top, but I haven’t had top money. I need money to live the rest of my life, man.’ So I continued. But I also believed I was going to go on and become a world champion again; become a two-weight world champion. Then injuries started happening left, right and center, and I started getting plagued with injuries, so it was a bit of a shitty end to my career. It was a bit of a nosedive, kind of riddled with injuries the last three or four years.”
