ESPN interview with Masvidal, good insight on continuity in combat sports:

I don’t know about you all but goodness me I can relate to this.

“Guys get so nervous, if that was me, I wouldn’t last in the sport”.

It reminds me of what McGregor said in his “McGregor Forever” mini series.

It’s all about emotional management (as “nerves” are how “emotions” are mediated, everything we feel is transmitted through the “nervous system”).

This interview is recent as well. Crazy to see the success (money) he’s had and made.

I like the “Hacienda” complex, real “Scarface” type of feel about it.

Genetics, and the right development seems critical re establishing ability and continuity in combat sports.

Other side to it is, he doesn’t have that insane level elite athletic caliber guys he’s lost to like Usman and Covington (varsity level wrestlers) have.

On the other hand, he resonates much more powerfully with UFC fans and is arguably far more popular that the latter two.

Phoney Montana would love that you think this. Right before he masks up and knocks you out from behind and runs away.
