Adversity is a Privilege | Featuring Jordan Mitchell

stuff like that Try to find some quotes in my book about fighting.

I am the greatest.

I said that before I even knew I was.

Everyone knows that one.

That's a pretty standard one.

I think being vulnerable and being punched in the face, like I said earlier, that really makes you honest with yourself, but there's a false psyche you need to hype yourself up.

I don't care what you say.

I'm confident in fighting.

If I went into even a sparring match or an amateur match, it was one of those, it's always in the back of your mind, I'm gonna get fucking punched in the face.

You know what I mean? It's like, this is gonna suck when I get punched in the face, so it's either I gotta take a lot of them and get pissed off and give it back 10 times worse, or let's just try not to get punched in the face.

But you know, as much as you think you're better than the other fighter, It doesn't matter how good of a fighter you are.

I could put you at T-bone right now, and he could slip a lucky one.

He

could.

It's just part

of

the combat sport,

and that's why it's great

about it, right? Everyone has a puncher's chance.

Yeah, so right now, what are you saying about yourself that isn't true or you have to psych yourself up? Is there some part of you when you're getting ready for a fight where it's kind of like, I'm going to say I'm confident, but I'm not.

And I don't want to give away secrets or hold your game.

But everyone has that, right? I know I'm not good at being an offensive fighter.

I'm a very defensive fighter.

You piss me off, then I bulldog you.

So I know that's a weakness of my game.
