Try to avoid any visualization, any rituals, warmups, anything like that.

Block it out until the last second.

Yeah.

Trying not to think about it.

I just go to training to have fun, learn a bit.

So I try to approach competition the exact same way.

I don't warm up at training, do very little warmup for competition.

uh-huh and uh you just step on the mat step on the mats my philosophy is there's no warm-ups on the street we're so vastly different all right uh so you like legit don't warm up no i probably should now i'm 31 but i would just like in the gym take it easy the first round you know like if i look around the room and nikki ryan's down my go i will have an easier first round today uh

We're just wrestling each other.

We put the meaning into it, but to someone that doesn't follow the sport, it looks stupid.

I try not to list.

Like if I win, I try to block out all the compliments, all the niceties and stuff.

So I try to do the same with losing.

It's happened.

Move on to the next one.

You know, don't dwell on it too much.

And sometimes make a joke out of it.

Yeah, exactly.

Winning or losing.

With the right joke, we can make money off of the event that's just transpired.
