That helped me as well even in my negotiation.

Yeah.

I personally, and obviously because I've experienced it, for me, the first time I got nervous in an MMA fight was my first fight.

No, my first fight ever.

First fight ever.

And then after that, I was like, oh, yeah, this is the same as when I was fighting the kickboxing.

I'm cool.

I didn't have any, I didn't get the nerves again.

The first time again since then was the first, no, sorry, weird enough, the second fight in the UFC against Ian Gary.

Now, the first fight, I don't know why, I just, I don't know what it was, but I was quite relaxed.

And then the second fight, I was like, oh, it's something, a reality hit me of like, oh, you're in the UFC.

The people are going to demand a certain thing from you.

And you've got a reputation of before of the knockouts, of the celebrations, of the walk-ins, of the this, of the that.

And then I just let that put a weight on me.

Really?

Yeah, yeah.

I can't even explain as to why it was the second fight and not the first one.

And then even the third fight, I still had that kind of, oh, man, I'm not performing the way I want.

And...

I felt like I'm eager to impress.
