Happy Thanksgiving to all of the @UFC fans around the world. I thanks God I'm physically able to provide for my family through film, fighting, and entrepreneurship. I am also grateful that the #UFC has given me a platform to showcase my God Given Gifts! Though these are blessing, it's really tough being away from my family on this day. It's 2am in India, and I'm alone. My daughter started crawling today, and my eyes teared up from missing that moment! I'm lucky to have a wife that deals with my??, supports this crazy journey, and holds down the fort while her King secures our future plus gives me a "why" to keep fighting. I have 4 great kids that motivate me to reach goals, cause it shows them any thing is possible! My mom & sisters for supporting me my whole life, and always making sure I could do sports regardless of what sacrificed. My team @americantopteam, squad @roufusport, and family@Attevolution I lastly want to that all my coaches who leave their families, believe in me, and give me the tools to be the baddest welterweight on the planet. I owe my success to everyone above, and my life to God! Happy Thanksgiving, and let someone know you love them! @arwoodley @mommawoodd @missionusa @cdw_77 @rokkkinrobin78 @mrs_srm85 @draydrayworld1 @csydneyfit4life @samiyahmommy_09_15_12 @dinthomasatt @dukeroufus @liborioatt @conansilveira @mistahari @mz__pinky @jasmynsharee81 @natedagreat83 @asc_stl @mightymouse125 @mightywife @d_bell15 @_onlyal @derrtycity @teamrocbiggie
