It's rare you'll speak to a fighter for any length of time and not hear them discuss the pressure they feel to succeed.
Mixed martial arts is a high stakes business, particularly at the highest level. Those who handle the pressure can become rich beyond their wildest dreams and earn fame beyond what they ever could possibly have imagined.
"Sources of anxiety related to sports include worries that an athletic maneuver has not been mastered sufficiently, self-imposed pressure to excel, stress caused by aggressive coaching from a coach or family member, or worries about letting down teammates," Anbar wrote. "I've been able to hang in the top five for the last three, three-and-a-half years of my career," Sandhagen told Yahoo Sports."That's not an easy thing to do in what is arguably the sport's best division right now. Most fighters understand that if you're there [in the top five, you're good enough to be champion], but I'm a very real, honest guy. Look at how many upsets there are in other sports."No. 1 Purdue was ousted by No.
"When I hear guys in the UFC or other fighters talk super confidently, it always interests me," he said."I always wonder if they're lying to themselves or if they have some secret handbook the universe gave them where they can tell the future. In this sport, I really believe that, at the top, especially, anyone can beat anyone on any night. Sports are full of upsets all of the time.
