beautiful sports powerful
It is the most powerful submission in the sport. It is a beautiful thing. You're holding them into you, their back is on you, and you are basically choking them gradually like a boa constrictor and once you've got them, the pressure goes on and they have to submit or they are going to stop breathing. It happened to me early in my career, and I panicked, and gave in, I tapped out too early. I learned a lot from that. I learned from it, learned how to do the move better, learned how to avoid it being done to me.
people cash
I whoop people for truckloads of cash
mma pushing keep-positive
Keep positive and keep pushing on and things will turn good.
dream sleep mma
I keep having vivid dreams of success. Then it's time to sleep.
mma relax plot
I don't relax, I don't celebrate. I sit and plot.
men mma noses
There's a Celtic saying, "Many a time a man's mouth broke his nose."
mma people proving-people-wrong
I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. Keep proving people wrong and proving myself right.
mma want plates
I don't just want the belt, I want every one of their heads on a plate.
mma pressure illusion
Pressure is an illusion, but I like that illusion of pressure.
sports fighting thinking
I am in the fighting game, I don't care about anything else. I don't watch the news, I don't care about politics, I don't care about other sports. I don't care about anything I don't need to care about. This is my sport, it is my life. I study it, I think about it, all the time. Nothing else matters.
worst
You are either the best. Or you are the worst. There is no in between.
games uncomfortable-situations losing
{Losing can be a great motivator] but not if it drains your confidence. One of the reasons I got into this game was because I wanted to learn how to get myself comfortable in uncomfortable situations.
running real adversity
Fourteen weeks before the Mendes fight I tore 80 per cent of my ACL [anterior cruciate ligament]. That is the main ligament for stability. Every day in that training camp when I was working my way back, I was saying "real champions fight through any adversity". That is why I am a real champion and he is not. Look at my eye [he had seven stitches put in an old wound after an injury in training the night before we met]. Fighters fight on. Aldo got scared, he went running and I worry he will run again.
mma plot ascent
I plot my ascent daily.
