Confidence is key #podcast #ufc #mma

uh it also has to be you know his

coaches as well to stay on top of that

and make sure he's not getting rushed

into a fight where he's not at the skill

level that is going to like continue to

improve and keep his confidence in check

Because that's the thing that happens

too when you're a young fighter and you

come in with all this confidence and

then you get

smashed The confidence is is a very

important um just attribute to have Um

it's like what is it a police dog So

when you get a police dog they have to

stay separate from all other dogs You

can't do anything to break their

confidence or make them fearful of

anything They have to be fearless They

have to think that they're the man or

the woman Um grace Give the grace

Baby girl Um yeah So they have to stay

very isolated

from all things that could Yeah because

you don't want your you know your weapon

to go into any kind of situation lacking

confidence They have to be fearless at

all times So it's very similar to that

That's what I think That's so true See

and it's like when you go in and you

just fight anyone like your confidence

gets dashed around and thrashed around

and then you're like you know what maybe

I won't throw this punch and then you

get knocked out Yeah So I I feel like uh

you know the coaches have to be on that

too and make sure he's not getting

rushed into anything because he

definitely has the potential uh to be

great It's just people get so excited

about young fighters and they want to

see him break Jon Jones's record and you

know be the youngest champion in the UFC

and do all this stuff before they're

actually ready Yeah
