With that motivation it is important to keep your composure and stick to the game plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siwelewis Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Well if you arent motivated your most likely not gonna care and try as hard so id say fights are 60% skill 40% motivation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCisGSP Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Sometime it's the difference between losing a title (BJ/Edgar 1) and winning it (BJ/Edgar 2?) It really is important. If you go into it half assed... it's lights out for you more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimpygimpet Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I mean motivation to reach a goal such as champion of the world or such. My motivation in the OP though was revenge really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when i wrestle someone who has beat me previously it makes me want to go out and beat him a lot more. Opinions? Motivation starts in the gym. Motivation to train harder than your opponent, to go the extra mile, the extra round, etc. while at the same time being careful not to over train and burn yourself out. You want to be peaking as the fight approaches. Motivation can be a great thing if you bring the right attitude into your training and train smart and hard not just hard. Once that cage door closes though being motivated doesn't mean a whole lot. You shouldn't be thinking much when you fight but feeling, acting and reacting. You have to come in with a blank slate forget about everything and live in the moment. You can have a game plan but be ready to adapt on a moments notice cause chances are things never go exactly as planned so you have to be ready adjust for when it doesn't and that all starts in the gym.
