And I was way more terrified of doing comedy. Way more scared. Way more scared. Like fighting was scary, but I was like, I know it just has to start. Once it starts, I know what to do. Like the real fear of comedy or fighting was before the fight. It was all the demons, all the thing. Why am I doing this? Why are you doing this to yourself? That's what you're really fighting in the end.

That's what you're fighting. You're fighting the fear. But I knew once it started, I wouldn't be scared at all. Because you don't feel fear when you're fighting because you're so in the moment. You're in the moment. You're zen. You almost don't exist. You have to, to operate at the highest level, to have instantaneous reactions and to be able to manage your pace and all these different things.

You can't think about yourself or how you look or how you feel or whether your girlfriend's mad at you or whether you're going to fail out of high school. You have to be locked into what you're doing. So I wasn't afraid of fighting. I was afraid of everything before fighting. I was afraid of feelings. But that's where the comedy came from. The comedy came from alleviating that. Right.

Yes. It's the most consequential of all sports. Because when someone beats you, they don't just beat you, they take away everything you are as a man. When someone destroys you in a competition, you are not a man anymore. You are significantly decreased in your value. Everything about you, you feel terrible. You are as good the day you walked in there confident.
