The scariest part of Terence Crawford shadow boxing is the fact that he isn’t even trying to be impressive. 💀
Every movement has intent. That’s why Bud embarrasses elite fighters, not just average ones. 🥶🥊💯👑
💪🏆Ilia Topuria speaking on beating Alexander Volkanovski and becoming a UFC champion:
“When you have a dream, you visualize it in a completely different way than how it actually feels when you live it.
On the day I fought for the world title, I woke up in the morning I looked out the window and saw people driving to work, doing their own things, and I thought, “This is just a normal day in my life.”
But at the same time, it wasn’t normal at all, because that night I was going to become a world champion.
It’s weird because when you have a dream, you think that once you achieve it, that’s it you’ve done everything you wanted in life.
I remember winning the world title, waking up the next morning, and the first thing I asked myself was, ‘What now? What do I do now?’
I had already achieved the dream I thought would complete everything.”

😳 Georges St-Pierre says cardio trainings are useless in MMA:
“I don’t really believe in cardio if you’re a combat athlete, I believe in efficiency.
Even if you’re in a better shape than me, but if I’m more efficient than you, you’ll get tired before me.
If you’re an athlete — efficiency is your number one goal. You focus on skill, technique and efficiency.”

I present to you Saint Zayya, a pre-Schism saint who was born in the year 309 AD and died in the year 431. He is currently venerated only by the Nestorians (the Assyrian Church of the East) – but he lived and died before the Christological controversies.
