the Joe Rogan experience you know that knee you landed on Frankie was crazy I
was by myself watching TV and I screamed out loud you know it was one of
those oh yeah and that's a common thing in my house people like are you okay I'm
like watching the fights yeah that was a nasty one dude was so perfect yeah it
was timed it so perfect yeah I mean he wasn't doing any of the hitting the
brakes you know everything he was doing was just forward forward forward he
threw you know he threw a kick forward he threw a combination forward and I was
like oh this guy's not hitting the brakes at all you know and I was like you
know
just throw something into that space that he was gonna step into and you know
couldn't have been more perfect yeah yeah he was like right before he threw a
punch everything yeah so two wicked KOs in a row like that over two top guys
like
you must be feeling right now that you're on like a whole new level yeah I'm
trying
not to feel too good you know because that demon you know that I don't tell you
hey you're good enough man you know you're good enough ride it out yeah I do
feel good though man I feel like I think it's been noticeable the demeanor that
I go
into the cage with it's it's noticeable in my brain too like when I'm walking
into
the cage I'm ready you know to hurt someone and I'm ready to I'm ready to you
know snap and get the get that ten weeks of thinking about it out of me but
yeah
man I'm super happy with it man I feel like you know it's it's its own ability
to
to figure out where you best perform and like you you don't learn that unless
you
have you know a loss or or or you get lucky and you get a win a fight but you
know I had to lose and that's how you learn that stuff and I really feel man
like
when I'm in the back in that space I feel 100% completely untouchable you know
and
that's something that is very very different than when I was fighting
before like I'm walking into the cage now feeling 100% untouchable and you
attribute this to the work with the mental coach as well as just you realizing
that
you were flat in the Al Jermaine fight yep yep and and just realizing where I
do
best you know just realizing where I do best like I would love because I'm a
calm dude like I'm a relaxed guy like I don't get too high or too low about
anything like it'd be nice if that if I could perform at that level you know
but
that's not the case for me so I need to really and that's why I do it before
sparring is I'll make sure no matter how tired I am regardless of what's going
on
you know if I'm injured if I'm you know over trained whatever it is when it's
sparring day I'm making sure that I get myself to that same place obviously not
intense enough to where I'm gonna hurt my training partners but I'm making sure
that I can replicate that headspace regardless of the situation yeah you
said something after the fight when you were talking to you were talking to
Laura
Sanko so you're talking to uh no it was a Andrew whoever it was yep that person
you
were you said some people go in there and they're looking to compete they like
to
compete and that's what they're doing you you go there you're trying to hurt
people that's that's you know what I'm doing now you know uh it was really
uncomfortable for me because like we're kind of you know I like Hinduism I like
Eastern philosophy I like the idea of like you know Buddhism and you know being
really peaceful and having a Zen mind and uh and not wanting anything and and
and being
really free from all the suffering of the world and trying to get there uh and
that
was kind of my philosophy you know up until I was choked out by Sterling and
opened up my
eyes and I hear him running around and celebrating and I was like fuck that you
know fuck that
everyone that I go into a fight now with I'm really trying to hurt you know
like I want to be the guy
that's running around the cage and they're opening up their eyes you know and
and I didn't you know uh
it's it's a it's a different type of space to be in and it takes a lot of
practice practice especially
for someone like me who isn't you know naturally like that uh but you know that's
that's the game
that we're in and that's what I'm trying to do now how important is a loss
sometimes super important
um it's it's a reminder you know uh and like you said you know I was just too
comfortable I was too
laid back like I needed to remember how dangerous this sport is uh and that's
one of the main things
that I took from that loss is that like we're not playing soccer like don't
walk into that fight not
ready to go it's also a lesson right it's like failure is so good for you
because when you fail it sucks and
it feels terrible but if you needed motivation well there it is like that's the
best form of
motivation like people would love to get motivation in a totally positive uh uh
like a way where it's
elective like I've decided to be motivated I'm going to be positive and that's
wonderful but my goodness
the injection that you get from a loss or from just straight up failure where
you're like oh my god I'm a
loser yeah yeah the feeling it's so bad you're literally the same person you
were before that
moment but now you hate yourself you hate everything you feel terrible you can't
sleep
you get up to take a piss and you can't stop thinking about it like you just
feel so you nailed
it but that feeling is worth a billion dollars it's so valuable I wish I wish I
could win fights and feel
like I lost every single time I wish I had that like that type of superpower I
wish I could do that
do you think you could talk yourself into that feeling is it like the feeling
that you got after
the Aljamain fight can you think you can like bring yourself back to that state
yeah yeah um
yeah if I sit and think about it long enough which I sometimes you know like
and not not because of that
fight but just all of the shitty things like you said that happen after a loss
man like all the shitty
conversations you have to have with people oh my god like the shitty looks you
get what do you think
went wrong yeah hey man uh you'll get it next time it's like no man like this
is my existence bro
you'll get it next time yeah yeah non-competitors that want to talk to you
about your losses I hate it
look on the bright side yeah you got your health yeah in that moment there's no
bright side and that's
something that every athlete I think has to come to grips with the during
losses there's there's no
upside no it's just this is your look sometimes you're the hammer sometimes you're
the nail and you
don't get the good without the bad the reason why the good is so fucking
amazing is because you felt the
bad yeah if you're just this guy just stormed your way to the top with no
adversity whatsoever you
probably wouldn't enjoy it as much no and and that uh that emotional pain I
think is worse than physical
pain and uh I remember after the first time I lost I had like my own
existential crisis a little bit
where I had to you know venture off and really question like who I was as a
person where I where I was
putting a lot of my identity just because that shit hurts so bad man and uh I
remember like if I keep
doing this it might happen again you know and I had to I had to like sit with
that a little bit and I was
like and you might not even get what you want out of this and then I was like
damn and then I had to
sit with that and then I was like and then I but I'm really grateful for that
because that was the real
moment in my life where I was like martial arts is is my path you know like
that's what I'm doing
that's what I'm doing uh I remember having the very lucid thought of like when
I was having those
feelings of like uh this could happen again you might not ever get into the UFC
you could be doing
this and win some lose some and be a loser until you're 35 40 you know and in
my head I was like
okay you know I'll sleep in a box I'll be a loser you know as long as I get to
do this with my life like
I'll be that loser and and kind of since then that's when I was like oh I
actually love this you know
