- 0:53Speaker 1: are you doing today?
- 0:54Speaker 2: Man, I'm very good. Thank you. How are you?
- 0:58Speaker 1: I'm doing well well for the kind of paintings, the
- 1:00Speaker 1: word picture. Where yet what's going on around you?
- 1:04Speaker 2: Well?
- 1:05Speaker 3: I am at home at the moment, so I've actually
- 1:08Speaker 3: just landed and I just got home about fifteen minutes ago.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Oh wow, where'd you come from?
- 1:14Speaker 2: I went for a few days to Barcelona.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Oh how was that?
- 1:18Speaker 2: It was beautiful? I have been before, but I went
- 1:22Speaker 2: many years ago when I was a lot younger. I
- 1:24Speaker 2: was in UNI, so it was actually really cool seeing
- 1:26Speaker 2: it more as an adult.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Right, Yes, yeah, there's definitely places I've been as a kid,
- 1:31Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know what, as an adult. I
- 1:33Speaker 1: really need to go back there and check those out.
- 1:35Speaker 2: It was completely different.
- 1:37Speaker 1: How long were you there?
- 1:39Speaker 2: Just for three days?
- 1:40Speaker 1: Okay? How do you like to do vacations? Do you?
- 1:43Speaker 1: Are you like a big planner? Are you someone that
- 1:46Speaker 1: just like, all right, I'll figure something out or and
- 1:48Speaker 1: then also like you know, workout. Why do you like
- 1:51Speaker 1: to do that as well?
- 1:53Speaker 2: So normally I like going anywhere that has son son
- 1:57Speaker 2: is like super important for me. I call myself a
- 2:01Speaker 2: food tourist because it's about the food. So I normally
- 2:05Speaker 2: the minute I know I'm going away on holiday, I
- 2:07Speaker 2: start planning.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Where I'm going to eat smart, and then everything else
- 2:12Speaker 3: comes around my food. Yeah, I'm not even joking. It
- 2:17Speaker 3: sounds a bit crazy, but depending on where we're eating,
- 2:21Speaker 3: that's the area where we're going to check out.
- 2:24Speaker 1: That makes sense. So what were the food highlights this time?
- 2:27Speaker 3: Oh my god, So for some reason they've got the
- 2:33Speaker 3: desserts were incredible. Cheesecake is really a big thing over there,
- 2:38Speaker 3: So they had this cheesecake thing that was quite similar
- 2:42Speaker 3: to subway.
- 2:42Speaker 2: I don't know if you know subway. Oh yeah, you
- 2:44Speaker 2: guys have subway.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's the same thing where you get to
- 2:47Speaker 3: choose the base, whichever flavor cheesecake you want, and then
- 2:50Speaker 3: you get to pick all the different toppings.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Well, I've never heard a place like that that sounds
- 2:55Speaker 1: it was amazing.
- 2:57Speaker 3: And then we had Minezuela in food because South American
- 3:01Speaker 3: food is quite popular out there. They've got a lot
- 3:04Speaker 3: of Venezuelan, Argentinians, Portuguese.
- 3:10Speaker 2: We met loads of people from there.
- 3:13Speaker 1: But I cauld have imagine that that was something that
- 3:16Speaker 1: was going to be over in that area.
- 3:18Speaker 3: It was yeah, but they know how to like they've
- 3:21Speaker 3: mastered their food out there.
- 3:22Speaker 2: It was beautiful.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Huh.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Yeah, we have Spanish food. Yeah, but yeah, what else
- 3:31Speaker 3: did we have? We do like Spanish beers. Spanish beer
- 3:34Speaker 3: was really nice. It's very strong. It's exactly how.
- 3:38Speaker 2: I like it.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Yeah, what style of beer do you like?
- 3:44Speaker 3: Normally I go for Belgian beers, but have like or Guinness,
- 3:49Speaker 3: anything that has a very strong flavor, like a stout
- 3:53Speaker 3: or a dark blonde beer.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that makes sense.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I like strong flavors.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Yeah. I was gonna say, unless you're like pairing it
- 4:03Speaker 1: with some kind of food, then yeah, a strong flavor
- 4:06Speaker 1: is definitely what you want.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Well, normally, I'm not much of a drinker.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Okay, so if on holiday, I might have one drink
- 4:14Speaker 3: a day, but it has to be because I rarely drink.
- 4:18Speaker 2: It has to be the perfect drink.
- 4:19Speaker 3: But I am one of those people that will go
- 4:21Speaker 3: there and say, can I try before I buy?
- 4:24Speaker 1: Now that's smart, and.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Then yeah, that's how I find out which one I like.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Well do you like? So when you're on holiday, do
- 4:31Speaker 1: you also try to get your workouts in or do
- 4:34Speaker 1: you just like Nope, I'm.
- 4:35Speaker 3: A normally, I would probably say ninety five percent of
- 4:39Speaker 3: the time I do. I've also been on runs abroad,
- 4:45Speaker 3: like I'll run around the hotel just with the scenic
- 4:47Speaker 3: view on our seaside. Always pick a gym with a
- 4:52Speaker 3: hotel with a pick a hotel with the gym. However,
- 4:55Speaker 3: this time around, I did fight a month ago, and
- 4:59Speaker 3: I too much went straight back into training because I
- 5:02Speaker 3: had a few people visit from abroad and it's really
- 5:04Speaker 3: hard to train with women, so I don't really get
- 5:07Speaker 3: any like my body never really got to rest, and
- 5:10Speaker 3: I went pretty much straight into sparring, which was quite intense.
- 5:14Speaker 3: So this time around, I said, you know what, my
- 5:16Speaker 3: injuries still have it fully healed up. I'm taking those
- 5:19Speaker 3: three days off, but we do hit about twenty thousand
- 5:23Speaker 3: steps a day when we're out there.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Yeah that's pretty good.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I love walking walking. We I'll always go
- 5:30Speaker 3: somewhere where I know I.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Can walk from wherever we're going, even if a place
- 5:33Speaker 2: is about.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Forty five minutes away or an hour away, we'll walk it,
- 5:37Speaker 3: right So in Yeah, that was swimming, you can call that.
- 5:40Speaker 2: That's my like chilled form of exercising on this holiday.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're still getting your body moving and
- 5:48Speaker 1: obviously swimming is very good for your body. And yeah,
- 5:51Speaker 1: walking yourself around is I said this to people all
- 5:54Speaker 1: the time, no matter what your age is, at least
- 5:56Speaker 1: get out in the walk, even if you don't go
- 5:58Speaker 1: to the gym or don't you know, stick to a routine.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Stick get on some kind of a walking routine at least,
- 6:04Speaker 1: because first off, you're getting outside. Second off, you know
- 6:07Speaker 1: you need all of that sunlight like you were saying,
- 6:09Speaker 1: and then you've got to keep your body moving no
- 6:11Speaker 1: matter what you're doing.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Oh one hundred percent. But I'm a big walker, even
- 6:14Speaker 2: in London.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Like I'll get back from work and sometimes I'll go
- 6:18Speaker 3: for a walk before bed.
- 6:20Speaker 2: I do love walking, but not in the rain.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, no, in the rain. In the rain.
- 6:26Speaker 3: We've come back to beautiful, rainy weather. It's like that's
- 6:30Speaker 3: back in the UK.
- 6:32Speaker 1: That is definitely very regular UK weather.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Unbelievable. It's been terrible lately.
- 6:39Speaker 1: But is it one of those things that it's all
- 6:41Speaker 1: day or is it just kind of like intermittently.
- 6:44Speaker 3: It's it's weird because you can get all different types
- 6:47Speaker 3: of weather in one day. So yeah, sometimes you'll be
- 6:50Speaker 3: out there, like for example, I drive and sometimes in
- 6:53Speaker 3: the morning I've got the heating on in the car,
- 6:56Speaker 3: my heats are heated. My heating's on, and I'm like, okay,
- 6:58Speaker 3: this is actually really cool. But then I'll pop out
- 7:02Speaker 3: to go to work like my other job during the day,
- 7:07Speaker 3: and then it will be really hot. I'll have the
- 7:09Speaker 3: ac back ond and then yeah, you can be changing.
- 7:14Speaker 2: So it depends.
- 7:16Speaker 1: I have not spent I spent I think about five
- 7:19Speaker 1: days in Europe and I didn't experience terrible weather, which
- 7:22Speaker 1: I was actually surprised about. But that was many, many
- 7:25Speaker 1: years ago. So we were We went in London and
- 7:29Speaker 1: we went around obviously, we went to Stonehenge and then
- 7:33Speaker 1: we took the chunnel down to Paris. Paris was actually
- 7:36Speaker 1: very cloudy day. I do remember that, but as isn't that? Yeah,
- 7:40Speaker 1: it was, it was beautiful there.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Europe is very similar to London nowadays. I've realized
- 7:46Speaker 3: because our first day in Barcelona was raining and then
- 7:51Speaker 3: yeah we had two nice beautiful days, but it was
- 7:55Speaker 3: pretty bad rain and normally you would say Spain has
- 7:59Speaker 3: better weather than London, right, but things are really changing.
- 8:05Speaker 1: We were just going to have a big, cloudy, nasty
- 8:08Speaker 1: earth one day. That's gonna be fun.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, true.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Well, so you were talking about you have an injury.
- 8:15Speaker 1: What was the injury after the last fight.
- 8:18Speaker 2: So it wasn't even from the fight I had. So
- 8:22Speaker 2: last year I had a pretty rough year.
- 8:25Speaker 3: I fought in June, and after June I got injured
- 8:30Speaker 3: at training three times.
- 8:31Speaker 2: So I broke my nose.
- 8:34Speaker 3: And then I that took ten weeks to heal, but
- 8:37Speaker 3: I was still training, so I just had to wear
- 8:39Speaker 3: the full caged headguard, whether I was grappling, wrestling, no
- 8:44Speaker 3: matter what I was doing, I had that bloody thing
- 8:46Speaker 3: on and it did protect my nose, but it was
- 8:50Speaker 3: just it just meant that I couldn't accept any fights.
- 8:52Speaker 3: And then after straight after that, I tore my MCL
- 8:57Speaker 3: and miniscus.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Oh geez.
- 9:00Speaker 3: And that was again during training. I shot for a
- 9:02Speaker 3: takedown and when you just popped, got it scanned and
- 9:05Speaker 3: it was a tear.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Got to I.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Needed to rehab that and get that healed. And then
- 9:11Speaker 3: finally I was like, I can accept a fight. Accepted
- 9:14Speaker 3: a fight. Three weeks out, I injured my shoulder. It
- 9:19Speaker 3: was a partial dislocation and ligament taire and that took
- 9:24Speaker 3: six months.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Six months, Yeah, did you have to test surgery? Was
- 9:28Speaker 1: just kind of rehabbing it.
- 9:30Speaker 2: No, just rehabbing it.
- 9:31Speaker 3: But I literally went from here to not being able
- 9:35Speaker 3: to move it at all to having to slowly increase
- 9:39Speaker 3: the range of motion until I was fully able to
- 9:42Speaker 3: bring my arm above my head.
- 9:44Speaker 2: But that took months.
- 9:47Speaker 1: What did that kind of happen? Was that like for
- 9:49Speaker 1: you mentally because you're used to being able to obviously
- 9:51Speaker 1: move and train and do things. But what I mean,
- 9:55Speaker 1: you were super elimited. Were we even able to do so?
- 9:58Speaker 3: I I so the first month I had to do
- 10:03Speaker 3: all my training on my own, and I did pads
- 10:07Speaker 3: with my coach with only my good arm and like
- 10:11Speaker 3: kicking and that kind of stuff. And then after the
- 10:15Speaker 3: first month, I started sparring with my team, but no
- 10:20Speaker 3: one was allowed to attack the side that I was injured.
- 10:24Speaker 2: And then yeah, I just got really good with sparring
- 10:27Speaker 2: with one hand.
- 10:27Speaker 3: And I'm not This sounds really weird, but it's probably
- 10:31Speaker 3: one of that injury was a blessing. I learned so
- 10:36Speaker 3: much about myself I learnt. Okay, I'm gonna have to
- 10:41Speaker 3: narrow it down, but basically I learned how to look
- 10:45Speaker 3: after my body when it's telling me that I'm injured
- 10:47Speaker 3: or I feel pain. Because that date that injury happened,
- 10:51Speaker 3: my shoulder was killing me, which is normal. Just like
- 10:53Speaker 3: any athlete, you get inflammation, your body hurt.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Of course, your coaches tell you to always train.
- 11:00Speaker 3: And that day I sparred just like I normally do,
- 11:03Speaker 3: and it was it was a position that I've been
- 11:06Speaker 3: in so many times in my life, but it was
- 11:09Speaker 3: one of the worst pains I've ever experienced. I knew
- 11:13Speaker 3: something happened like it was. The shock was just unreal.
- 11:18Speaker 3: Went straight to any.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Got the scale. Of course they confirmed what happened. But then, yeah,
- 11:24Speaker 2: it just taught me how to.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Strike better, and then my movement got better. I worked
- 11:33Speaker 3: on a lot of US and C. Of course, I
- 11:35Speaker 3: had to rehab and rebuild the strength of my shoulder
- 11:38Speaker 3: because that was pretty awful.
- 11:40Speaker 2: It was. It got to a point that I couldn't
- 11:42Speaker 2: even do one one kgene.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Really, I'm not even joking.
- 11:46Speaker 2: I couldn't do any of that initially.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Also when the first couple the first month, even holding
- 11:51Speaker 3: my phone in my hand was too much.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Holding a mug, like just my coffee mug, I couldn't
- 11:56Speaker 2: do any of that.
- 11:58Speaker 3: But yeah, I I had to be patient. It was
- 12:02Speaker 3: hard because I'm so used to fighting.
- 12:03Speaker 2: I've never just thought once in like in twelve months,
- 12:10Speaker 2: but I'm normally a very positive person.
- 12:14Speaker 1: It's good.
- 12:15Speaker 2: I just knew that eventually my time was going to come.
- 12:17Speaker 3: And I said to myself, I know, the minute I
- 12:19Speaker 3: get to fight, I'm just gonna have to be really smart.
- 12:22Speaker 3: And that's exactly why I did this camp. I ended
- 12:24Speaker 3: up injuring my handstring. It was about four weeks out
- 12:28Speaker 3: of the fight, and I just listened to my body.
- 12:32Speaker 3: So there were things I had to hold hold back
- 12:35Speaker 3: from certain things. On certain days, I just didn't go
- 12:39Speaker 3: one hundred percent like I normally would, and I ended
- 12:43Speaker 3: up having a really good camp.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listening to your body is genuinely one
- 12:48Speaker 1: of the most important things you can do, no matter
- 12:50Speaker 1: you know, obviously what you're doing, but especially for you
- 12:52Speaker 1: considering how much you are putting your body through so much,
- 12:55Speaker 1: you know, kind of repair and tearing everything down and
- 12:59Speaker 1: then rebuilding every things. So yeah, the fact that you
- 13:01Speaker 1: learned that from this is amazing and I yeah, I
- 13:04Speaker 1: imagine your body was at your left side was very
- 13:07Speaker 1: atrophied because again you couldn't do anything, so like you
- 13:10Speaker 1: talked about, even picking up a mug or your phone
- 13:13Speaker 1: was just too much for you.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Oh, sleeping was the worst.
- 13:16Speaker 3: I think I didn't sleep well till about two months
- 13:19Speaker 3: in because I couldn't sleep on the side on my
- 13:23Speaker 3: shoulder and I'm so.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Used to sleeping on my side.
- 13:26Speaker 3: So many positions, so many things, like I was saying,
- 13:29Speaker 3: just being able to put my top on, grabbing something
- 13:32Speaker 3: from behind me if I needed to grab anything, holding
- 13:35Speaker 3: my own bag. It was just it was very frustrating.
- 13:39Speaker 3: But like I said, I learned so much because I
- 13:43Speaker 3: had the mentality that when I was in camp, I'm
- 13:45Speaker 3: the kind of person that I never feel like anything's
- 13:48Speaker 3: every enough in terms of the amount of work I
- 13:51Speaker 3: put in, So I'm always doing hard, always putting myself
- 13:54Speaker 3: like under a lot of pressure. I need to perform,
- 13:57Speaker 3: I need to do this. I need to like know
- 13:59Speaker 3: that I've done one hundred percent work. But then that
- 14:03Speaker 3: injury taught me that if there are days you can
- 14:07Speaker 3: still do them two three sessions a day, but maybe
- 14:10Speaker 3: put in seventy percent. It doesn't have to be one
- 14:13Speaker 3: hundred percent, so you're able to perform the next day
- 14:17Speaker 3: and the day after that, especially in camp when you're
- 14:19Speaker 3: cutting weight. It's the amount of stress on the body. Yeah,
- 14:24Speaker 3: injuries are a lot more. Just your central nervous systems
- 14:28Speaker 3: under so much more stress.
- 14:30Speaker 2: So it's just, yeah, it taught me a crazy amount
- 14:34Speaker 2: and I ended up having a great fight. I had
- 14:37Speaker 2: no issues in the fight in terms of pain.
- 14:41Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, Well, what does kind of rehab look
- 14:45Speaker 1: like for you, not just obviously off an injury, but
- 14:47Speaker 1: just relaxing your body, rehabbing your body, you know, just
- 14:52Speaker 1: kind of the you know, everything that comes out after
- 14:55Speaker 1: the training situation. What do you kind of how do
- 14:59Speaker 1: you kind of handle that?
- 15:01Speaker 3: So I've got a physicotherapists that works with me, so
- 15:05Speaker 3: he's a.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Part of my team.
- 15:07Speaker 3: I get all my rehab off him, and I've got
- 15:09Speaker 3: my SMC coach, so I get a mixture of just
- 15:13Speaker 3: working on every single injury.
- 15:15Speaker 2: So the minute I get feeling it.
- 15:17Speaker 3: Or my sports therapist is there telling me what to do.
- 15:21Speaker 3: I see him on a weekly basis. He gives me
- 15:23Speaker 3: treatment as well. That's number one. Number two.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Whenever I'm abroad, I follow my plan.
- 15:29Speaker 3: So I went last year for me and my husband's
- 15:32Speaker 3: one year wedding anniversary, we went to Jamaica. I was
- 15:35Speaker 3: out there still doing my rehab every single morning. Was
- 15:38Speaker 3: at the time I had my knee injury, and I
- 15:40Speaker 3: just thought, you know what, even on a holiday, I'm
- 15:42Speaker 3: going to make sure those two weeks were away I'm
- 15:44Speaker 3: working on it. But then whenever I'm here, I'm very
- 15:48Speaker 3: regimented with my rehab recovery. I think recovery is equally
- 15:54Speaker 3: as important as training hard. So I always I make
- 15:57Speaker 3: sure I get eight to ten hours sleep every single night.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Whether so I like to go to bed early, but
- 16:03Speaker 2: of course there's some nights.
- 16:04Speaker 3: Where it might be, you know, past nine o'clock and
- 16:08Speaker 3: I'm there I can't sleep.
- 16:10Speaker 2: I still force myself to go to bed because.
- 16:12Speaker 3: I do believe that kind of recovery is very important
- 16:15Speaker 3: for me mentally and physically.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Sometimes taking a pound up in between training that helps
- 16:22Speaker 2: a lot, especially when I'm in camp. It just I
- 16:26Speaker 2: feel it does enhance my performance on my second and
- 16:29Speaker 2: third session of the day. Getting a massage as often as.
- 16:34Speaker 3: I can, Yeah, trying to ic my injuries, hot water bottles, that.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Kind of stuff. Yeah, that's probably what I would say
- 16:44Speaker 2: in terms of rehab. And then my nutrition is usually.
- 16:47Speaker 3: Whether I'm in camp or out of camp, I take
- 16:51Speaker 3: all my supplements, I hit my macros, my protein's always high.
- 16:56Speaker 3: So if I'm out of camp, I'll still eat the
- 16:59Speaker 3: stuff I enjoy, but I'll make sure I'm getting in
- 17:03Speaker 3: the good stuff to fuel to help recover from each session.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, as someone like you said, who is a
- 17:10Speaker 1: foodie who loves their food, how does nutrition work for
- 17:14Speaker 1: you in camp and obviously right after well we'll talk
- 17:17Speaker 1: about right after camp afterwards. In camp, how does that
- 17:20Speaker 1: kind of work for you? Because it can be boring,
- 17:23Speaker 1: but you you know, it's just making it interesting and
- 17:26Speaker 1: eating things in a different way I think is the
- 17:28Speaker 1: best way to just really stay on nutrition.
- 17:32Speaker 2: So majority so all my fights, I've always done my
- 17:36Speaker 2: own nutrition.
- 17:37Speaker 3: I've done make up for my own except for my
- 17:40Speaker 3: last two fights, and that was because I start I
- 17:44Speaker 3: went down to bantamweight, so I thought, if I'm going
- 17:46Speaker 3: to go down to bantawey, I want to do it,
- 17:48Speaker 3: you know with the professional and the guy's been amazing.
- 17:50Speaker 2: He's helped me a lot.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Yeah, but in terms of diet, yeah, it is one
- 17:55Speaker 3: thousand per boring. I think what's boring about it is
- 17:59Speaker 3: the fact that you're doing.
- 18:00Speaker 2: The same thing every single day.
- 18:03Speaker 3: And I say this all the time that people don't
- 18:05Speaker 3: realize with fighters or athletes, we take our job home.
- 18:10Speaker 3: So it's the fact that you're having to drink water
- 18:13Speaker 3: as well. That's another thing that's also really boring. Hydrating,
- 18:17Speaker 3: like making sure you get a minimum of four liters
- 18:20Speaker 3: a day for example, your food. Everything needs to be calculated.
- 18:26Speaker 3: So yeah, it does get boring. But the one advantage
- 18:29Speaker 3: that helps me, I like homemade for food, So by
- 18:36Speaker 3: being in camp, that means I can get creative with
- 18:39Speaker 3: my meals. Just like you were saying earlier, even if
- 18:42Speaker 3: you're kind of eating the same food you get to
- 18:44Speaker 3: make it look like it's different or it's spiced up
- 18:49Speaker 3: with the seasoning. So, and I'm very regimented. I'm that
- 18:53Speaker 3: kind of person that will take all my snacks and
- 18:55Speaker 3: all my meals with me if.
- 18:58Speaker 2: I'm always like, if we get stranded anyway, I've got
- 19:02Speaker 2: something on me. I'm even joking. My husband's always joking
- 19:06Speaker 2: like what is it that you don't have in your bag.
- 19:09Speaker 3: I'm like, listen, this has an emergency and we're stranded here,
- 19:12Speaker 3: I've got a couple of snacks that can keep us going.
- 19:14Speaker 2: For a couple of hours.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna tak me later.
- 19:18Speaker 3: Yeah, because even when I fly out from my fights,
- 19:21Speaker 3: I have all, Like I've had to fly to Abadabi
- 19:25Speaker 3: and it's an eight hour fly. I've taken my breakfast,
- 19:28Speaker 3: my lunch, my dinner, my three snacks, everything with me
- 19:33Speaker 3: in top wares.
- 19:34Speaker 2: So yeah, I just I don't like.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Putting myself under that kind of pressure where I need
- 19:40Speaker 3: to be outside looking at a menu and trying to
- 19:42Speaker 3: figure it out.
- 19:44Speaker 2: That's not going to happen.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Right. Well, let's talk about So I don't want to
- 19:48Speaker 1: talk about after you've made weight, because you still have
- 19:50Speaker 1: to fight but after a fight, what do you do
- 19:53Speaker 1: you like to kind of not gorge yourself, but do
- 19:55Speaker 1: you kind of like to have a big dinner food wise?
- 19:59Speaker 1: How do you like to do that?
- 20:01Speaker 2: So back in the day, I I would just go crazy.
- 20:07Speaker 2: It was like that moment of oh my god, finally
- 20:09Speaker 2: this has happened.
- 20:10Speaker 3: I can't believe it because, like you said, you've got
- 20:13Speaker 3: a fight to then be able to eat.
- 20:16Speaker 2: I think now going into I've had yeah.
- 20:20Speaker 3: Fourteen fights already, Yeah, fourteen fights. It's got into a
- 20:24Speaker 3: point from my last three fights.
- 20:27Speaker 2: I just yeah, I eat. I eat what I love,
- 20:31Speaker 2: but I always know that there's tomorrow.
- 20:33Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I allow my stomach to be able to,
- 20:37Speaker 3: you know, digest what I'm eating, so I don't want
- 20:39Speaker 3: to go to bed feeling stuffed. But don't get me wrong,
- 20:42Speaker 3: I still eat pretty much whenever I'm in the mood
- 20:46Speaker 3: force So normally it could be pizza.
- 20:48Speaker 2: So because pizza is usually normally one of my favorite things,
- 20:51Speaker 2: burger and chips. My last fight were.
- 20:54Speaker 3: At a casino and they had an open buffet that
- 20:59Speaker 3: was opened, so we ended up over there and I
- 21:02Speaker 3: got to have.
- 21:02Speaker 2: A little bit of everything.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Yeah, but FETs are fantastic for that.
- 21:07Speaker 3: Oh yeah, one hundred percent. Oh the dessert was amazing.
- 21:10Speaker 3: I think that's what that was the fun part for me.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Yeah, because they ain't not stuck with just one dessert.
- 21:17Speaker 1: You'd be like, oh, I'm just gonna go a little
- 21:18Speaker 1: bit everything this is.
- 21:20Speaker 2: It was wonderful.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Yeah. And then also you're probably with your team still,
- 21:24Speaker 1: so if you didn't like something, somebody else was gonna
- 21:26Speaker 1: eat it.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh my god. They call me the feeder, like
- 21:29Speaker 2: an enabler.
- 21:30Speaker 3: So whenever we go away from my fight, we're in
- 21:32Speaker 3: the hotel, of course, I can't eat until I make weight,
- 21:36Speaker 3: and I'll be walking around the buffet and I'll see
- 21:38Speaker 3: a few things and I'll bring it to my team
- 21:40Speaker 3: and I was like, you guys have to try this,
- 21:41Speaker 3: and they're like, well, we don't want it.
- 21:43Speaker 2: I'm like, well, please someone eat it, because you know
- 21:45Speaker 2: I can't have it. Someone needs to have it. Yeah,
- 21:50Speaker 2: so you'll be looked after well, or if you're with
- 21:52Speaker 2: me when I'm cutting weight, Yeah.
- 21:54Speaker 1: I love that. Well. I did see a video of
- 21:57Speaker 1: you cutting weight and you you mentioned a squishy ducky. Yeah,
- 22:03Speaker 1: talk to us about this because I never thought about
- 22:05Speaker 1: this because you have. You know, so many fighters that
- 22:08Speaker 1: do have to when they make weight just kind of
- 22:10Speaker 1: sit in a hot bath and just try to obviously
- 22:13Speaker 1: get everything out, but you need something to kind of
- 22:16Speaker 1: get your mind going. Otherwise it's kind of you know,
- 22:19Speaker 1: a wasteland up there talked to us about the squishy.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Ducky, So, yeah, that was more. I always make a
- 22:26Speaker 2: joke that why I don't like weight cuts. The water
- 22:29Speaker 2: is just boring. You know, there's nothing in there. There's
- 22:32Speaker 2: no bubbles.
- 22:34Speaker 3: You've got, it's not even scent, it's just plain boring
- 22:38Speaker 3: hot water. But yeah, we are thinking of making a
- 22:42Speaker 3: little bit more entertaining while you're in there. My last camp,
- 22:44Speaker 3: I had an inflatable bath, so it wasn't the comfiest right,
- 22:50Speaker 3: But for some strange reason that hotel did not have
- 22:53Speaker 3: a single both in there.
- 22:54Speaker 2: They were all walking showers.
- 22:56Speaker 1: I think most of them seem to be switching to that.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Now I've noticed idea that is to the rest of us, well,
- 23:03Speaker 1: some of us don't take baths, so I guess that's
- 23:06Speaker 1: that's something they think about now.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Yeah, fair, But yeah, so I had that.
- 23:12Speaker 3: But normally, because because I don't do my weight cut
- 23:16Speaker 3: doesn't last that long, right, I don't.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Really do much. I don't need that much entertainment. Like
- 23:24Speaker 2: if someone's just there, we can sit down and chit chat.
- 23:26Speaker 3: I know some fighters aren't able to have a conversation
- 23:30Speaker 3: because the weight the weight cut can get really harsh.
- 23:33Speaker 2: But yeah, as long as someone's talking to me, I'm good, right.
- 23:37Speaker 2: I love having a conversation.
- 23:39Speaker 1: That's perfect. I love that. Well, let's go all the
- 23:43Speaker 1: way back in time real fast. What is your earliest
- 23:45Speaker 1: memory of martial arts?
- 23:47Speaker 3: Oh my god, someone did ask me that question the
- 23:49Speaker 3: other day and they said, do you remember the first
- 23:51Speaker 3: time you ever sparred?
- 23:52Speaker 2: I said, no, I actually don't remember.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Huh.
- 23:56Speaker 2: It's crazy, isn't it.
- 23:57Speaker 3: But yeah, for some I just can't remember the first
- 24:00Speaker 3: time I joined martial arts, like what my first session
- 24:05Speaker 3: was like.
- 24:06Speaker 2: But I do remember my first ever competition, okay, and
- 24:12Speaker 2: it was a very right.
- 24:14Speaker 3: So I started martial arts because I wanted to learn
- 24:16Speaker 3: self defense. But I was always always a super confident person,
- 24:21Speaker 3: even when I was in school. I just always thought
- 24:23Speaker 3: I can take down anybody. Like I got into a fight,
- 24:27Speaker 3: it's game over for you. I just always had that confidence.
- 24:30Speaker 3: And it's funny when I look back now, I'm thinking
- 24:32Speaker 3: I did not know how to fight. I didn't even
- 24:35Speaker 3: know what the right thing was to do. But I
- 24:39Speaker 3: was just born with that confidence.
- 24:40Speaker 1: So I know.
- 24:40Speaker 3: When I first started martial arts, it was Japanese jiu
- 24:44Speaker 3: jitsu at university, and I remember our first ever tournament.
- 24:48Speaker 3: It was me and a couple of girls and we
- 24:50Speaker 3: would back then at Uni there was sometimes make us
- 24:53Speaker 3: compete against the boys as well, right, But the first
- 24:57Speaker 3: girl I ever thought was this rushing girl and she
- 25:00Speaker 3: was like a Russian wrestler, really really good, experience, strong,
- 25:04Speaker 3: and they all said, listen, she's really good, and I thought,
- 25:07Speaker 3: bring it on.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Well guess what I lost? But I thought I was
- 25:13Speaker 2: gonna win.
- 25:13Speaker 1: But we get the confidence going in. Yeah, yeah, so
- 25:16Speaker 1: I was.
- 25:16Speaker 2: I wasn't like, oh my.
- 25:17Speaker 3: God, I'm scared. But then after that, for me, a
- 25:20Speaker 3: loss really really drives me to want to learn more
- 25:26Speaker 3: because I don't want that happening again. And from then
- 25:28Speaker 3: I just flourished and I became savage. So we competed
- 25:33Speaker 3: about against men and I was like smashing it higher belt,
- 25:37Speaker 3: I was smashing it.
- 25:38Speaker 2: I was loving it.
- 25:40Speaker 1: What do you do you enjoy jiujitsu more? Or do
- 25:43Speaker 1: you do you enjoy now like obviously the well roundedness
- 25:46Speaker 1: of the MMA game.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Definitely the well roundedness.
- 25:49Speaker 3: I've got a really weird relationship with jiu jitsu and
- 25:52Speaker 3: I still haven't figured it out yet. I know really
- 25:55Speaker 3: good at it and I tend to use it a
- 25:58Speaker 3: lot in my fights. But if you to tell me
- 26:00Speaker 3: to go to a jiu jitsu class, I cry, I
- 26:02Speaker 3: hate it.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Why is that?
- 26:05Speaker 2: I don't know, I really I have no clue.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Well, it's not boring, obviously.
- 26:12Speaker 2: But it's no, it's not it's it's definitely not boring.
- 26:16Speaker 2: But that's what I mean. I don't know what the
- 26:19Speaker 2: issue is.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Huh, that is interesting, But I do prefer if I had.
- 26:24Speaker 2: To pick one out of the lot, it would be wrestling.
- 26:26Speaker 2: I think wrestling.
- 26:28Speaker 3: I find it very fascinating and I believe maybe wrestling
- 26:33Speaker 3: is what made me kind of not abandoned jiu jitsu
- 26:36Speaker 3: but not have the same love for jiu jitsu, because
- 26:38Speaker 3: I find wrestling a lot more entertaining, a lot more aggressive.
- 26:44Speaker 1: True.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Yeah, where jiujitsu you know you can stall people can
- 26:48Speaker 3: like you can be stuck in half foot and clothes guard.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it can get a bit boring.
- 26:55Speaker 1: Okay, so maybe it is the boringness and that, like
- 26:58Speaker 1: so you can actually slam people wrestling, you can, You're
- 27:01Speaker 1: you're looking to obviously take them down and you're not
- 27:03Speaker 1: trying to be on your back. So maybe it's that
- 27:06Speaker 1: aspect of it.
- 27:07Speaker 2: I think, so, yeah, that might be it.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you figured it out.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Advice.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Hey, Hey, I'm always here for it, don't worry. Well,
- 27:21Speaker 1: we kind of touched on it earlier, but like, you know,
- 27:24Speaker 1: what does what is the mental aspect for you? Because
- 27:26Speaker 1: you said you're a very positive person anyway, but you know,
- 27:29Speaker 1: like you said, weight cut and injuries and just getting
- 27:33Speaker 1: yourself either hyped up for the fight before it and
- 27:37Speaker 1: then also trying to bring yourself down as well. And
- 27:39Speaker 1: then you also touched on how you really like to
- 27:43Speaker 1: push yourself and always try to be as everyone should
- 27:46Speaker 1: be a little bit better than they were last time,
- 27:48Speaker 1: but you know, having to realize that you aren't supposed
- 27:52Speaker 1: to be pushing yourself one hundred percent every time. How
- 27:54Speaker 1: do you kind of mentally kind of work your way
- 27:57Speaker 1: through all of this?
- 28:00Speaker 2: Lots of planning.
- 28:02Speaker 3: I love a list, literally, I was just going to
- 28:08Speaker 3: say that, Oh my god, the amount of lists that
- 28:10Speaker 3: I've got is insane.
- 28:12Speaker 2: So I always have lists on all the.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Things I want to work on, all the things I
- 28:16Speaker 3: want to improve on. Every session, I write down the
- 28:19Speaker 3: things I need to improve on, the things I did
- 28:23Speaker 3: wrong or what I did, what I do really well,
- 28:26Speaker 3: what I need to work on keeping or improving, So
- 28:31Speaker 3: I don't wait for me to get a fight for
- 28:33Speaker 3: me to work on things. I believe camps are for
- 28:37Speaker 3: you to boost conditioning where you really that's where you're really.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Pushing it to the max.
- 28:46Speaker 3: And then you're working for an opponent, for a person,
- 28:50Speaker 3: but using your own strengths to defeat them.
- 28:55Speaker 2: So that's how I see it. So outside of camp,
- 28:58Speaker 2: I'm working on all the things I need to wear,
- 29:00Speaker 2: which can be endless and I can imagine that's going
- 29:02Speaker 2: to be something I'm going to do for the rest
- 29:03Speaker 2: of my career. Right, So that's one way I do
- 29:07Speaker 2: it where so I find that way helps me stay
- 29:10Speaker 2: calm when I'm in camp. So the minute I get
- 29:12Speaker 2: an opponent, I'm there, I'm looking okay, cool, So what's
- 29:15Speaker 2: how are you going to defeat this person or beat
- 29:17Speaker 2: this person?
- 29:19Speaker 3: And knowing that I've improved since my last fight using
- 29:25Speaker 3: all that time that I've been training. That already gives
- 29:27Speaker 3: me the confidence that I need going in there, because
- 29:31Speaker 3: I know a lot of the times people will be well,
- 29:33Speaker 3: you know, they'll they're they're you're watching your opponent right,
- 29:36Speaker 3: because of all the mistakes they've made in that fight.
- 29:38Speaker 3: How can you defeat them? I always say my goal
- 29:42Speaker 3: is to go in there for them to have watched
- 29:44Speaker 3: that person. But I'm not that person necessarily, Like, of
- 29:48Speaker 3: course there's you know, Lisa lives to grapple or Lisa.
- 29:50Speaker 2: Li likes to wrestle, But it's.
- 29:55Speaker 3: The things they want to capitalize on are probably not
- 29:58Speaker 3: necessarily going to be there because I I've worked on that.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Yeah, so I didn't work now when they just called
- 30:03Speaker 2: me and said, hey, do you want to fight this person?
- 30:06Speaker 2: That's one way of doing it.
- 30:08Speaker 3: So yeah, like I said, just lists on lists, like
- 30:11Speaker 3: whether I'm in camp, out of capital, matter where I am.
- 30:15Speaker 3: I train twice a day, six days a week, I
- 30:19Speaker 3: get one rest day, and I've got strategies.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Those are the things I want to work on.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Do you make positivity less as well?
- 30:29Speaker 3: I've been told I yes, A friend, a really good
- 30:32Speaker 3: friend of mine told me to do that, and you know,
- 30:34Speaker 3: since then, I started doing it because I've always been
- 30:36Speaker 3: a very.
- 30:39Speaker 2: I'm my biggest critic.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Yeah, most people are yeah yeah, And I.
- 30:45Speaker 2: It sounds really funny and weird saying, but I respect
- 30:47Speaker 2: my opinion about myself.
- 30:49Speaker 1: I mean, you know yourself better than anybody else. Yes, exactly.
- 30:52Speaker 3: But you know when people say things like, oh, you
- 30:54Speaker 3: know they say horrible things about themselves or you know
- 30:57Speaker 3: they're two judge, I'm not that kind of person.
- 31:00Speaker 2: I'm kind of like, Listen, those are the things are
- 31:02Speaker 2: very realistic, very black and white. So I will take
- 31:06Speaker 2: feedback from people, but it's also based on what I
- 31:10Speaker 2: feel and what I think. So normally it's not my.
- 31:13Speaker 3: Coach is telling me listen, those are the things that
- 31:16Speaker 3: you need to work on. My list is not based
- 31:18Speaker 3: on necessarily what my coach things. I will take a
- 31:21Speaker 3: little bit of feedback from people, of course, but I
- 31:24Speaker 3: create my own list and I am I rewatch my
- 31:27Speaker 3: fight over and over again, and I think, how if
- 31:30Speaker 3: I was to fight myself, how would I defeat me?
- 31:33Speaker 2: How would I fight? You? Like that? That's how I
- 31:35Speaker 2: like to That's how I create my list.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Well, you still need to be do you also need
- 31:42Speaker 1: to make those lists of things you did well, and
- 31:44Speaker 1: like you said, can keep the things that you did
- 31:47Speaker 1: it did work, and then you know, get rid of
- 31:49Speaker 1: the things that don't work.
- 31:51Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, And this is why a friend of
- 31:53Speaker 3: mine said, you've got to do the like keep on,
- 31:56Speaker 3: that's what he called it, like your work.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Like I like that.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Actually that's a very positive way of looking at it.
- 32:03Speaker 3: And like you said, comparing every fight, how have I changed?
- 32:09Speaker 3: I always like my goal is I'm never going to
- 32:12Speaker 3: go into a fight and come out one hundred percent satisfied,
- 32:14Speaker 3: and I'm still going to come out and be like,
- 32:16Speaker 3: all right, I dropped my hands too much.
- 32:17Speaker 2: I've done this, I've done that. But I've also got
- 32:20Speaker 2: to pay attention to the things that I have been
- 32:23Speaker 2: working on. Have I done enough of it?
- 32:25Speaker 1: Right?
- 32:26Speaker 2: And so far I've noticed I have. Of course I'd
- 32:29Speaker 2: like more, right, But you can't control everything inside there,
- 32:33Speaker 2: so you know, I'll keep working.
- 32:36Speaker 1: This is true, you can't. You can't control all those
- 32:38Speaker 1: stuff wells. I mean, so fight days are long days.
- 32:42Speaker 1: And you talked about always having food on you. What
- 32:44Speaker 1: are kind of some standards you have in your bag
- 32:46Speaker 1: on a regular basis.
- 32:48Speaker 2: So that's so, is that in general?
- 32:50Speaker 1: Or uh, let's go with fight days, so protein bar Okay.
- 33:00Speaker 3: I would have dates, so it's normally it could be
- 33:06Speaker 3: Harry Bows, like any of those fast releasing sugars.
- 33:11Speaker 2: While I'm training. What else would I have I do?
- 33:15Speaker 3: Like small Carby snacks. It could be anything like crackers,
- 33:19Speaker 3: little packs of crisps. Yeah, probably mainly those ones. Oh
- 33:25Speaker 3: and always a scoop of protein powder where I can
- 33:28Speaker 3: just put water in that bottle, shake it and drink it.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Right, okay, very nice. Yeah. Well, so I have a
- 33:36Speaker 1: segment on the show. I call it the five counts,
- 33:37Speaker 1: just five random questions. Okay, well number one, what are
- 33:41Speaker 1: you nerding out on right now? Nerving out on, nerding
- 33:45Speaker 1: out on?
- 33:46Speaker 2: Oh wait, you need to be a bit more specific
- 33:49Speaker 2: on that.
- 33:50Speaker 1: So like what are you like really delving into or
- 33:53Speaker 1: learning more about or even like media consuming any anything
- 33:58Speaker 1: of above?
