the Joe Rogan experience if you look at a lot of my losses I would load up
right
and put my head first and then like why am I gonna give me I get back to the TJ
fight right the two fights the those you were more emotionally invested in
those
fights than any fight you've ever had right definitely and that's not me I
don't have to Joe I love to fight I can fight in your studio right now you know
I mean I'll kick Jamie's ass you know if you know his pants making fun of his
pants earlier you know so I never like for me to go in there and kind of have
that you know just an example of that I don't need to do that yeah you know and
you know it was great I was a world champion feel like I had to defend it a
lot of other stuff you know the backstory of it and the injury coming off a
year
I was just so like I said not mentally ready to go in there and fight that I
physically was like overcompensated for it the emotions that go into a fight
with
someone you don't like it's always extremely difficult but for you to go
into a fight with someone you don't like who you used to be tight with right
and
used to train with right that's got to be like doubly difficult it's all I said
I
didn't didn't like TJ I don't agree with a lot of things that happen but that's
so
far in the past I'm that you know past that but yeah definitely taking that in
there it was my my mental state was not what it should have been to go in
against
a guy like TJ you know and we can fast forward to where you know he got popped
and this and that TJ can be on that stuff he can be on that stuff and he still
can't
beat me when I'm focused and I'm mentally there I'm in there and I'm excited
you
know like I'm glad that he's coming back he's got approved himself you know and
that's a big fight for me to come back to you know in the future there's it's
gonna that's gonna happen you know I feel like TJ caught me at a time where
mentally I was not in the best state of mind to go on there and and and be a
champion and that's why I was taken from me you know I wasn't doing the right
things you know the slight edge things I wasn't doing those and you know he
capitalized and and I look back on it I kept going back in those fights and a
little bit of insanity you know you got to be insane to repeat the same thing
think a different outcome and that's what I was doing in there I was I
always trained hard always prepared ready but what was what was it wasn't
nothing do that I needed to do it was just the slight slight edge things little
work this work that like and looking back on it's it's it's hindsight's 20 20
always in the fight but uh I'm thankful for that I have to feel like if I would
have
went off and defended the title and I probably wouldn't have been as hungry and
motivated as I am today and that's gonna help me out for the next five years of
my
career however long I want to fight for you know I always kind of break my life
down to five five-year increments but I'm excited for I'm more hungry than ever
because I know what it takes to get back to the top so when you said that you
stopped visualizing for a long time and now you're doing it again are you doing
it
now in do you have like a rigid format do you have like a do you have a
disciplined format of visualization or do you just spend time alone thinking
about
things like how do you do it um yeah I do do a format write things out I write
out
goals three months six months year five years what I want to accomplish what it's
financial or it's you know athletic whites personal growth spiritual growth
family growth things like that so I try to prioritize um what I'm lacking or
what's
the lower grade that I give myself and try to focus more on that so it's all
balanced I feel like I'm trying to balance my life more as far as being I grew
up in
chaos you know I feel like I can I do well in that but I'm at a different place
in
my life and what I want from my son and my future I want to have that balance
of
you're not so 100% in this and you know lacking this you know I want to make
sure
it's kind of balanced across of my goals but I feel like you know going back to
talking about getting out of your comfort zone like doing things that
absolutely suck and you got to mentally put yourself in that position to be
like
were you in your comfort zone when you were a champion like when you say
getting out of your comfort zone I know you trained hard so like what is
different
I think that I removed myself after um winning the world title I didn't feel
like it was everything that I thought I was going to be
in what way just the whole prolific
you're world champion you're the best in the world you know I didn't I never
expected a lot of things that would happen I just focused on what did you
think it was going to be like I don't know I don't think I had any
expectations when I feel like a lot of things change around like oh man like
how's it
feel like I'm still the same person I just kind of you know I'm just a number
one person in the world at what I do you know I don't know it just didn't did
you
think that like in achieving such a great goal that you would feel satisfied
that
you would feel like I wasn't satisfied maybe maybe because that's what at the
later than the tunnel since I was a 12 years old and I was man just through the
journey of getting to where I was at looking back on it I was like man like you
know
what's next I didn't have the what's next isn't it interesting like this is the
thing that gets brought up all the time about fighting is that so much of it is
mental especially at the elite level like at your level so much of it is how
you're
approaching all aspects of your life how your relationship is going how your
friendships are going like what how you what's your relationship with your
family
yeah you know that's so much of how a fighter fight and then what is your focus
on is your focus on adulation is your focus on doing interviews and letting
everybody tell you you're the shit or is your focus on continual improvement
and
then recognize like yeah you might be a world champion but there's a bunch of
hungry lions climbing up that hill to try to get to the king
yeah you you see it i have you know chris holdsworth my coach my trainer my
good
friend he travels with me you know we put through
hard workouts you know this morning we're gonna go after your podcast and
that's the thing doing those balancing that okay i might have you know
come on your show absolute honor i gotta train i gotta you know i can't take
this
week off we're here you know look at homes and doing other things with pmp my
other business partners so just prioritizing what's important what's your
goals how are you reaching those goals what are you working towards are you
reading help books self-help books are you reading you know books to help your
your mental fortitude to strengthen that you know are you doing yoga are you
doing
there's so much and resources and staying enthusiastic and staying enthusiastic
i think
that's the main thing i wasn't enthusiastic i felt like i was just going
through the
motions and there's a lot of other things there's a lot of things that can
transpire but i'm solely putting the blame on myself because that's all i can
control what i do how i react to things and i wasn't the person that i am
during those kinds of you know tribulations or trials in my life you know and i've
grown from
that i was 24 25 years old i'm 29 years old now you know i look at the game um
just differently
