As an athlete who takes it as serious as I do, so focused on doing everything perfect and you get hard on yourself if you have a little bit of a bad meal or you harden yourself if you didn't go hard enough. So I like to pull back, but for the most part, man, I'm 100% go all the time. And I think that's why I've had such longevity in the sport.
All right, guys, Digital Social Hour. We're here with Michael Chandler in Nashville. Thanks for having me, man. Of course, man. Thank you for coming to the greatest city in the world. Absolutely. We were just talking about Nashville off air. This is a good city. It's in my top three now. I'm not even kidding.
It's really, really cool. Great place to raise a family. You know, I've got two sons and the people are just top notch. Yeah, I know family is super important to you. When you were deciding where to live, was that a big reason why you moved here?
It was, you know, we we were living in San Diego and we knew we were going to move because I started training in Florida, which that I still train with that team and will train with that team for the rest of my career. And we looked at Texas. We're both my wife and I are both from Missouri.
So Tennessee's got that kind of it's just it's that southern hospitality, a little bit of Midwest, a little south. But it's also a really cool city in the sense that there's so many people moving here. There's so much so much going on. You can have a, have a very, very, uh, fun time. You can also just chill and be relaxed.
Every person we talked to before I moved here was like, this is a great place to raise a family from the schools to the morals, to the, to just the, the fabric of, of the, the ethos of the city. So it's, it's a, it's a great place. I love it, man. I've been keeping up with your workouts of the day, man. They are intense. Yeah. Yeah. We, uh, We go pretty hard. You go hard.
And the fascinating is because you don't have a fight lined up right now, right? No. But you're still training super hard.
Always, man. I think I just look at it like every day that I don't, you know, and obviously there's times where I need to pull back. There's times where I need to take it a little bit easy because I, as an athlete who takes it as serious as I do, it's very easy to turn into a robot and you become so anal and so, so focused on doing everything perfect.
And you get hard on yourself if you have a little bit of a bad meal or you harden yourself if you didn't go hard enough. Yeah. So I like to pull back. But for the most part, man, I'm 100% go all the time. And I think that's why I've had such longevity in the sport. My body feels great. I'm 38 years old. So a lot of guys don't make it at a high level where I'm at this long.
