[brvheart]

we have 15 as of now, I told him that it would not be more then 20....so we have 5 left or this is it?

[Easye1982]

Can we edit question 13 to be a little more specific...

How does your family feel about you fighting, both while your in the ring and outside?

When will you think or say its time for you to stop? Or will you base it on when your body tells you?

If you didn't get paid would you still fight? Explain.

[keithpas]

What do you feel are your strong and not so strong areas as a fighter and how do exploit/downplay them during a fight?

[duran]

I don't know how else to put this. Edit it any way you want. I am not trying to insult the guy. It has nothing to do with heart. Call it a left-handed compliment if you will.

Q for Jorge: I think you are too nice a guy and are not mean enough to become a UFC Champion. What mental drills are you using to get to that next level of success?

[brvheart]

a few more if you guys want. I am going to schedule the interview in the 2 weeks :)

Also Rich Franklin interview coming I think :)
