And yeah, I felt he was like not comfortable at all.
I think both.
I was always very calm since I was a kid, you know, since very young.
I was never very, you know, fiery person.
So that is a reflection, you know, it reflected on my jiu-jitsu, my life, on my fights, the way I fight.
So it's a direct influence of my personality.
And I think it's also in the day, you know, you develop the more you practice, you know, the more you fight.
It's like, you know, you don't want to get nervous.
You don't want that adrenaline.
And so you just learn how to shut that off from your mind.
So the less I thought about it, it's like how many times I fought.
Let's say the week before the fight, that's when you start more, when you're concerned the most, because now it's getting very close.
Before, it's just far away.
It's normal to think of the tournament, you get a bit nervous, but it goes away quick.
But the fight, the week before, now you're constantly thinking of that day.
And every time you think, adrenaline pumps in, your heart accelerates.
It's like, why am I feeling this?
What difference will it make?
So you're sharing that thought out of your mind because you don't want to feel the adrenaline, your heart accelerating.
It's not going to add you anything.
