| In the weeks leading up to my fight, I’ll be working on the telephone with my mental conditioning coach, Brian Cain at Peak Performance in Richmond, Vermont. He helps me through specific visualization exercises. Cain keeps me focused as I approach the fight - right up until I enter the octagon.
Once I’m in the locker room I slowly begin to warm up my engine in a timed and deliberate manner. In my next fight, I’ll undergo the same methodical process I’ve used many times before. Before I enter the arena for my long walk to the octagon, I try to stay relaxed and calm. It’s a waste of physical and psychological energy to get revved up too soon. |
