When I was preparing to face Randy Couture in the UFC, I received an interesting call from Pancrase that led to my story being immortalized in Japanese comics. I’ve always tried to make decisions that balance opportunity with preparation, even when dealing with news that could impact my career trajectory. 🥊💪

Stay away from emotions when you’re in the octagon, cage, or ring of life!
