It was eating like a rabbit and working out like insane.

And I still wasn't dropping the weight that I would normally move.

So the weight cuts became hellacious.

And that's not a good combination when you have hard weight cuts and then you are getting hit in the head.

You're more likely to get rocked and knocked out because you can pull water actually from your, basically the fluid in your brain, which is wild.

And that increases your chances of death.

experiencing a knockout or just an equilibrium issue when you're pulling that much weight and you're in that much heat for that long.

So we usually do this in majority, at that time, majority of the weight cuts were either in a very hot bath or in a sauna.

In a sauna, yeah.

Yeah.

It's like that Mike Tyson quote, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.

Yeah.

How would you react to that and try and stay present even after you just get smashed?

Oh, that is like the ultimate.

If you're not present, you are now.

So it's only helpful.

So that helps.

Yeah.

If you were not totally zoned in or honed in, then...

you are after you get hit in the face.
