[00:00:00] Speaker 1: The best fighters that I knew, they were in that gym every day to become the best fighter they could be, not to win a fight. When they were all about that outcome, about, I want that belt. I want people to know I'm a champion. That's not nearly as powerful as I'm going to do everything I can to be the very best fighter I can be on that night. And that's the victory, that focus on what do I need to do to be this rather than to get this.
