Believe In Someone
They say success stories start with someone else who believes in you. Truly believe you are gonna make it.
The first person who comes to mind for me is one of my best friends, Josh Zufelt.
We met many years ago at a pickup football game with my new company CIW. He was on the other team and nobody could tackle him but me. And vice versa. He was the only guy to stop my plays.
At the end, we were both like, who the fuck are you? 😂😂
He was an All-Metro defensive end at Foothill High School and led the state with 22 sacks. He came to the gym and we pushed each other every day.
He would wrestle-F$@& me and I was a nasty striker. So we complimented each other. Like peanut butter and jelly.
I still remember those talks at night.
Every night we would have the fattest smoke sesh 💨🤣 Hotbox 2 - 3 blunts in his garage and talk about making it to the UFC, traveling the world, and living the dream.
We did just that. Josh was on the way, but life went in a different direction for the ginger. Family came first and I commend him for that.
He still went on to corner many of my fights. We went to Brazil and Mexico together and many other locations around the globe.
Thank you Josh. I love you man!!!
Thank you for believing in me.
Climbing The Mountain
“Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed.”
Finding equilibrium in the climb.
Climbing a mountain is just about reaching the top – it’s about embracing the journey.
In both fighting and life, growth happens in the process, not just the outcome.
Each step, whether in training or in a match, is a chance to be present and adjust your pace.
When you focus too much on the future, you miss the lessons and beauty of the moment. The sides of the mountain sustain life, just as the journey shapes who you are.
It’s all part of the adventure.
