Internally, it was such this light, positive voice going on the whole time in that fight.

I don't know, man.

It could be a series of just life experiences and my...

I don't know, books that I read or just, like, things that I try to practice or some enlightenment thing that I'm trying to get or... You know what I mean?

Like, I think that it comes from that because I'm just... I'm kind of always searching for the light in short, you know?

Yeah, to the very end.

Well, you know what?

So right before we went out, or right before we got to the arena, my coach Lorenzo was like, all right,

Your nose is already cut, so it's going to open up.

And he's like looking at me in my face, you know, like he's like face to face with me.

He's like, your nose is already cut.

Accept it.

It's going to open up.

First time you get hit, it's going to open up.

You're going to go to bloody fucking war.

He's like, you might break a hand.

You might break a leg.
