Here's the other thing about exceptional
00:00:02
athletes like Israel. They understood
00:00:04
the importance of the mental aspect as a
00:00:07
UFC champion. There's a little story
00:00:08
that I tell. What was really cool, Mike
00:00:11
Angrove, who was one of the trainers at
00:00:13
City Kickbox, he had Izzy staying with
00:00:15
him. What he had done, he got one of his
00:00:17
mates to take a photo of him and
00:00:18
superimpose the middleweight UFC
00:00:21
championship out around him. And so Mike
00:00:23
goes past and there's Israel at the edge
00:00:25
of his bed looking up at this vision
00:00:27

00:00:29

00:00:32

00:00:34
understand how powerful it is. I know
00:00:35
one thing is I just can't tell the
00:00:37
world. But like there's levels that I've
00:00:38
manifested things that I'm just like I
00:00:40
still shock myself like how the [ __ ] did
00:00:42
I make that happen?
00:00:43
>> Put it this way. If I said to you, I'll
00:00:44
give you a million dollars. What's the
00:00:46
first thing you're going to ask? Where
