I always imagined it like...
It's like you grab your shield and your spear, and it's the march to the battlefield.
You don't walk out of your tent and you're on the battlefield.
There's a process of getting there, and the weight cut for me was a part of that.
It was the suffering to get to the fight.
So for me, it was hot sauna, cold shower, you know,
Treadmill, pads if I needed it.
I mean, Tokyo, I didn't even have a treadmill.
I just put trash bags on, cut the corners off.
The old school Thai boxing way.
How much did you weigh before that fight?
I cut seven pounds.
And that was one of the reasons why I changed the way that I was doing it.
Because I should have stopped that guy in the first round.
And I didn't have the power to it.
And that was his last fight.
He passed out after the fight.
Went to the hospital.
He had a bleed on his brain.
And he retired completely after that.
