Untitled-1To become a champion you must push farther than you think you can go. Every fighter will confront exhaustion at some point. You must be able to get past the pain, the discomfort and the urge to give up. A fighter must empty the tank every workout. Leave it all in the gym, on the track and in the weight room. When fight day comes and you are waiting for your name to be called isn’t the time to be wondering if you could have worked a little harder. It’s too late. When it’s time to step through the ropes you can have no doubts. It’s time to compete like a champion, saving absolutely nothing of yourself. All your energy, all your heart, all your soul, all your competitive fire needs to explode in that ring. If you can do that you will be a UCA champion.
