    GOAT 🐐.
    Of course I'm not the level of fighter GSP is but I completely understand his mindset because I'm the same before even sparring and exhibitions and my anxiety and stress always translate to boosted reflexes and speed but best of all, will to survive. It's as if you think you're going to die and you're fighting for your life the entire time and that makes any man dangerous. It's much harder to beat a man fighting for his life than fighting for win or a check.

    This quote sums up how deep his fighting philosophy was. He was truly a gifted fighter but also a deep thinker and a somewhat underrated philosopher.
    Its rare to find guys like him in the world of MMA. I can only think of Israel & Khabib & neither of them are as self reflective as George.

    Georges: Anxiety is just excitement without the breath. When we feel heightened energy moving through our body, we need to make sure our breath is full and spacious in order to accommodate it. If our breathing becomes shallow or constricted, our brain and nervous system interprets our present state as "afraid" (vs. energized and excited).
    Once you accepted your fear, no doubt you -- simultaneously -- began to breathe in a more relaxed way.

    I’m gonna try to explain this the best as possible. Okay so just because you train harder then everyone else doesn’t mean you’re gonna win 🤷🏼‍♂️ ur opponent is training just as hard as you an it only takes one punch or someone to have leverage to knock you out or tap you out. also training and making weight gets you exhausted not just physically but emotionally. So doing all that work and preparing for what could be a 30 second KO or tap out. Especially when your getting paid nothing is it really worth it ? Only a few handful of boxers not Even UFC fighters get the big pay day. The gypsy king, money may, pac, Canelo and Connor who else is really making millions 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Why do it if that's the case ?
      I understand getting nervous because you are worried your going to drop the ball or something from an easy pass... (NFL)
      But to genuinely be afraid !? I don't think you should even be out there of that's the case, you are a liability to everyone...what if you get yourself seriously hurt due to your modernized feminist beliefs !?
      Now the real man who mangled you has to feel bad about it for the rest of his life "I broke this boys neck, it's my fault his in a wheelchair for the rest of his life"
      Nah ....it's the fault of the whimp who put himself in that situation in the first place despite not being built for it....
