This psychology hit me like a ton of f*cking bricks.
My walk to the
@ufc octagon carrying the BMF Title for #UFC244 had my senses razor sharp and adrenaline pumping but controlled.
I thought about all the times I’ve walked to the wrestling ring for my
@wwe championship matches and all that goes thru my mind - live crowd acumen and crowd control, my timing, tempo and cadence with all the highlight moves I’ll need to execute with my opponent, controlling my cardio (especially if my match was 45min+), or if I knew I was going to have to bleed, I’d go over that scenario one more time on this walk, and then finally, right before I walk out I can literally FEEL the crowd and soak in their DNA before my music hits because my business is all about crowd connection and success.
There’s nothing like it.
Now, the wild psychology that hit me on this walk, was all MMA fighters - in every division - do this same adrenaline fueled walk, with so many thoughts coursing thru their minds - but in the end, have no idea what the outcome will be, because they’re fighting for their lives and success.
Must be nothing like it.
Two wildly different businesses yet intersect in some very cool ways.
Grateful for this experience.
Thank you
@ufc.
All respect. All love.
