I'll see you later on, Briggs.
Every day for six weeks?
The leg fight?
Okay, I have to look into that So if I wanted to do it, I'd maybe do it say like what twice a week or something Yeah, just something like that. How long does the effect last for I?
I bet you someone else, if they have one in Auckland now, they'll definitely hit me up and be like, hey. I bet they do. Yeah, I'd like to try that.
sauna cold plunge hyperbaric everything every edge you can get red light therapy all that that's where I'm at now that's where I was this last camp and I feel like even the one before that and the one before that I just remember thinking like how can I it was actually Eugene who said how can you make this camp better and I'll always find something to do to make this camp better the next one so that's like the last three camps so this one I took it with the whole having breakfast having a chef help me that was crazy that you used to train with no breakfast that's so crazy
So that was my way, I guess. Then I found out about intermittent fasting, and I realized, oh, I've been doing that shit for years. I was just doing it by, I guess, laziness or accident. But it actually helps, though. Like, wake up, have two eggs, or maybe he'll make sometimes something with chia seed, but normally eggs. and a bacon piece or something, and then... She needs something.
Yeah, something, just to get the fuel, yeah. And even Jordy, from Fight Dietitian, he told me, yeah, you should definitely be having breakfast, because he thought, like, you're crazy training the way you do train. And some of my morning sessions as well will be grueling. And then I'll go have breakfast. But I enjoyed it that way because I felt like more.
One thing is when I fight, fight day, my body doesn't want to eat. He'll make me like a nice plate of something delicious, and my body is just like, nah. So fight day, I still try and eat something, maybe at least an egg because he'll have pancakes, eggs, whatever, bacon, an egg and a little bit of bacon. But my body just doesn't want to eat.
No. So I just I think DC said the same thing as well. One time he said he likes to fight hungry. So that way he gets that edge. And I feel that way when it's fight day. But when it comes to training now, I definitely like to have breakfast. I like the way it feels. I can like now I've done it for a few months.
I understand the benefits of a healthy breakfast before you have a grueling training session.
Yeah, more energy.
He's so big. He looks good at 145 at UFC 300. Yeah, I like that for him.
There'll be something. Like, they've got the whole thing at one with the hydration clause. But the thing is, no matter what, people are always going to try and find a way.
They're always going to try and find a way to sneak past the hydration test or something that they can use to pass it. But I don't know how that works. I don't know how they test for it. It's never happened to me. But weight cutting, even when I started fighting, people used to tell me, go down to 170 for you guys. Oh, my God. Hell no. How the fuck can you make 170?
Back when I was skinny, before I got really brolic, I could make maybe 80 kgs. That's close to 170, because 170 is 77 kgs. But lowest I ever got to was 80 as a kickboxer. That was it. At 170, I'd die. I wouldn't even... Because I've seen some of these weight cuts with guys and girls.
You see her when she was in the tub crying and shaking. And Oliveira when they go and they huddle around them. When you cut weight, though, I'll say this thing. For me, when I cut weight... It's a spiritual experience sometimes. It's a weird experience, because not just me, I've seen fighters who have, not get delirious, but start saying things that they wouldn't normally say.
Not even in a bad way, but just the way they talk. Because you're close to death. Yeah, you see the light.
Yeah. My weight cuts are normally pretty tame. Not as bad because I think I'm perfect for 185. But the ones that I've seen guys lose a lot of weight the day of and I see them, how they are. And even when they go to the scale, you see their face just... Yeah, you never look too destroyed. I always come in underweight as well. What do you normally weigh the week of a fight? Week of a fight?
If I get to the fight location, say... If they weigh me, if I'm, say...
