Fight Emotionless
You don’t want to be pissed off when you’re fighting. You don’t want to fight with any emotions.
If you can get someone pissed off, do it. Their cardio isn’t going to magically go up and they’re not gonna fight any better.
When you’re controlled by your emotions during a fight, your muscles are going to tense up. You’re gonna load up on shots.
It’s hard to fight smart in that state. Because all you can think about is taking the other guy’s head off.
So it’s important to enter that cage emotionless like a Terminator. Bring yourself back to the present moment.
A lot of this responsibility is on the coach’s shoulders. They should remind you of where you’re at. Make you feel your feet on the ground.
Who cares about how pissed you are? Focus on your techniques. Focus on the game plan.
Ultimately, focus on things you can control.
I’m super impressed by Leon. I feel like he’s not the type to get pissed off easily. But after Colby made those comments about Leon’s dad, you can tell he wanted to kill Colby.
That’s why he’s a true champion. He went into the fight and fought hard and smart. It looked like he left his emotions outside of the cage until the fight was over. And ended up with the W.
The same thing happens when Suga fights.
No emotions. Never pissed off. But still competitive and he just lets his training and body take over. Ready to scrap and dig deep, but never with emotions.
Blaming Others
People blame others all the time for things that are wrong with the person pointing the fingers.
If you can blame them for things they’ve done wrong, can you blame them for things they’ve done right?
We all know everyone is programmed in a different way.
Keep in mind, if you were raised in the exact same situation and circumstances as that person, you’d probably act that way too.
But if someone else’s emotions and mood affect you, that means they’ve got control over you. You’re giving away your energy and power.
Recommend checking out the book Awareness by Anthony De Mello, he says a lot of good stuff around this.

My Thoughts On Christmas
I’ve never really been big on Christmas or holidays.
We didn’t really celebrate it too much growing up. Whenever I do celebrate a holiday, it’s usually with Mariah.
We’ve never really gone out of our way to do anything crazy or spend a lot of money.
I actually think Christmas and holidays bring a lot of stress to families.
Imagine being a kid coming from a family that isn't doing as well as others, showing up to school after the holidays.
All the kids are going to be showing off their cool, expensive new toys. Asking each other what they got and bragging about it.
That kid is gonna sit there and feel bad or jealous. Maybe he didn’t get what he wanted for Christmas because his family couldn’t afford it.
I’ve seen parents go into debt, and open new credit cards, just to make sure they have a good holiday.
The holiday season is fun when the family gets together. But I do think it does bring a lot of stress and negativity for the sake of keeping up an image.
By the way, a lot of you guys have been asking where I get my red light therapy equipment. I’ll leave a link to Mito Red Light’s website below.

The Modern Devil Is Cheap Dopamine
Navalism dropping wisdom here. We’re talking about porn, scrolling, and shitty food.
You can also make a case for video games and chasing girls.
There’s a lot of truth in this for sure.
Not Being To Calm During A Fight
This is a tough one that comes with experience. You can’t be too calm and too flat. Your mind needs to be calm, but your body needs to be reactive.
Getting Anxiety
I’m not really the anxious type of person. But I had some anxiety come through this week and I’m wondering where it came from.
Maybe it’s the peptides, maybe it’s recovering from the foot, or maybe not being able to train.
