I didn't know anything all my life because all I was thinking of was martial arts."
He further added:
"I remember this girlfriend from high school, and she wanted to fool around the gym and it was, the dojang is what it's called, but I used to teach there, and I had keys...I was there, and she wanted to fool around there and I'm like, 'There's no way. We can't do anything here.'"

When Joe Rogan asked Jon Jones about quitting pot
