Really interesting to hear Cory talk about mindset and self examination. A man who is both a warrior and a philosopher. I’m always rooting for this guy.
Joe is always talking about Miyamoto Musashi and the Book of 5 Rings, and Cory embodies alot of the things Joe loves alot about the book. I think Joe realized that so he was totally intrigued and really liked Cory bc of it, and who can blame him bc Sandman is a fascinating guy!! I dont think I've seen Joe that happy and engaged with anyone who wasnt a close buddy of his in a long, long time
Cory's self awareness of his emotions and how to handle them are why he's one of the most fluid strikers/fighters in UFC. Dude doesn't half ass it. He puts in the work it takes to be present and dialled in. Izzy is the same. He puts the work in to overcome the fear of stuff in fights so he can be lucid and see everything to be able to take risks in the pocket and have them pay off. Awesome to hear this stuff
That flow state he's talking about is one of the most amazing feelings. I hope everyone gets to experience it at least once in their life. It's otherworldly.
Wow you can tell Cory has learned a lot thru the art of fighting. All of the challenges have really taught him about his own mind and emotions. Fascinating.
If you go back to his fight with Petr Yan, you can see the turning point for him in terms of looking at the fight from a professional point of view. He even says it himself later on in interviews. I would be genuinely surprised if he doesn’t earn the belt before he retires. His mindset was already impressive but now he is on another level entirely
This was one of the most fascinating JREs I've seen in forever, and just don't mean just the JRE MMA shows, it was one of the best eps period. Cory is just awesome, from his skills to his attitude, to his mindset, to the fact he has very little or no ego....... he's an impressive dude! His fight vs Chito was an absolute masterclass too!
I ain't even going to lie. I wanted Chito to win. I think he matches up better against the top guys. Sandhagen can't beat the top guys. He's only a bad matchup for Chito.
I love how he describes it as a psychedelic experience, then at 9:57 he's literally explaining the correct way to handle negative thoughts during a psychedelic trip. I think that gave me a better idea of the kind of headspace he was in. I'm hyped that I got to see this fight in person, such a dominant performance.
@@mamindhive very true i done acid more then multiple times and i done shrooms once. It literally made into a much more peaceful introspective person. It made me confront my demons i did that. Now im at peace.
As an American Vera is one of my favorite Fighters at 135 my son who just turned 16 is getting into MMA also and vera is one of the guys that I point him towards to emulate I guarantee vera and Jason Perillo will go back to the drawing board and he will come back better than ever
Facts I'm impartial to either fighter but like them both alot as fighters.. that was great fight for Cory...chito just looked off. Maybe it would go that same way if they fought again maybe not however I don't think it would be as one sided. Great fight. Chito gonna come back stronger after this lose bet on it!!!
Glad Cory is on here. Bantamweight division is a bunch of killers and Cory is right up there with the best them. I really wanna see him and O’Malley fight one day (hopefully with a title on the line).
That matchup is so intriguing, really curious to see if they are going to give Cory the Merab fight or are they actually going to schedule merab and Umar. If they make that fight, I think it makes more sense to give Cory the O’Malley fight as a title eliminator, if not they both will be sidelined for a while waiting for the winner of aljo and cejudo because I don’t think either of them will fight down against a lower ranked contender and it’s kind of unclear who should get a title shot next. Dana seems like he wants to give O’Malley the next shot, but who knows what will happen. Bantamweight has so many great matchups
I want to see that fight as well, but if I’m being honest with myself, Corey is simply a better version of a similar fight style: Unorthodox feints, accurate and unique strikes, but Corey’s ground game has progressively improved. I can imagine that’s where the fight would end up with Corey taking the W
I'd love this fight! I just see O'mally waiting out until cejudo and sterling fight and then getting a shot.....so cory and merab is what I bet happens
very inspirational to hear where he has gotten himself to mentally, whether he knows it or not. love this from cory & you can tell joe can really feel every word that he heard
Cory Sandhagen just put on one of the greatest displays of mixed martial arts I have ever witnessed. He took him down at will, pounded him on the ground, and picked him apart with ease. It's like he's playing the game on GOD mode. It's like he's living in the matrix. Simply in awe of the talent and skill of Cory, he is one special kid.
hate to repeat it, but we all know that styles make fights. not sure if Cory will be able to keep Merab off of him. still, he made chito look like a rookie.
@@birdcarries well his fight against Petr Yan is probably the greatest display of high-level striking in the history of the UFC. Not saying that his fight against Chito is one of the greatest displays, but Cory is definitely capable of displaying greatness in the octagon.
Joe is so good at listening to his guest, and asking the right questions, only once his guest has finished speaking, to get them to explain their thoughts even more deeply. The best host I listen to by far.
GSP talked about processing speed when asked what will set the next generations of fighters apart. It really is a thinking man's sport at the highest level
This is what a sincere person sounds like. I need to find the rest of this interview. It's always a breath of fresh air when you feel like youre connecting to someone's unfiltered thoughts they can also articulate
Same things gonna happen to him vs merab as Petr, Mirab. Merab is gonna spend 25 minutes getting his takedowns stuffed but they gone call it "control" and end up getting his hand raised
@@thottydagod457 you may be right but if there's one thing that cory can do that petr doesn't do it incredibly accurate flying knees, plus ricky Simon almost choked him out and I can see cory locking a sub up
@@eaganoewater8003 I didn't even look at it that way. Cory does have a sneaky way of locking things up. And Merab could get careless. Very very interesting
This was an awesome JRE!! Cory is legit one of the coolest, most honest, self aware, humble and real dudes ever. I watch/listen to alot of the JRE eps while I'm working so its kinda in the background, but this one had my full attention the entire time!!! Cory is such a smart and fascinating guy...... the way he thinks about stuff and the way he breaks it down is truly unique. Plus the guy has zero ego, which is really cool and really rare considering he's a top tier fighter. His fight against Chito was a masterclass and I can't wait to see him fighting for the belt soon!!
This is a trip to hear Cory talk about how he put a bunch of pressure on himself. I am currently going through the same thing in the last couple months. I put too much pressure on myself to be perfect and training stopped being fun for me. I had to take a step back and let things be what they are control what I can control and stop worrying about what I can’t control
I really enjoyed listening to his honesty and talking about the feelings of anxiety and fear and doubt, Cory is a fantastic fighter and it was definitely not the fight I expected, he really took it to another level in his last several fights
Crazy how good Corey explained that. I had that same feeling and performance in a paintball tournament a few years ago. Felt exactly the same as he explained it. I could just see and hear everything and everyone in the field and I just alliterated every team in front of us. Players of other teams were out the tent waiting to shake my hand and tell me how good I was playing. It felt surreal. Good shit Corey.
Cory is a true Martial Artist. Amazing fitgher to watch, and its fascinating to hear him talk about entering what some call "the Zone", being somewhat on autopilot. What's up with that? Consciousness is an incredible mystery
Musicians call it “the muse”, Cory referenced Karl Jung and his collective unconsciousness, the shadow and such. Getting into the zone must be what it would have been like hunting to survive in antiquity, truly instinctual
@@curtyandrew9963, I feel like I used to enter the zone alot more when I was younger. Fully present in the moment, no trace of your own ego, as if I was watching "myself" live. Like you and Smedly Butler commented, the zone can be found in many, if not all, areas of life, from hunting, sports, art, social interaction and even video games. It seems to be a very powerful evolutionary trait that has helped us survive until now. I wonder if other organisms experience this, could it be a result of consciousness? Then again consciousness might not be unique to humans. Interesting stuff
Flow state is pretty easily achieveable if you're an athlete. Happens a lot in light sparring and hitting the bag, you're just in the zone. Music usually helps 👌 consciousness is awesome
Psychedelics are great, one time I was trippin on too much acid and I was staring at a fire pit and the fire pit turned into a mini world with little people and buildings, that was 2 years ago and it's such an experience to remember. would love to try out the psilocybin mushrooms next, just don't know where to get them, so hard to come by
I just finished this ep on Spotify and I could legitimately turn right around and watch this entire ep over again, and enjoy every minute of it. Cory is such and interesting and fascinating guy, not to mention an incredibly bright and talented fighter. His skills and his fight IQ are off the charts!!
Listening to the parallels between Cory's experience in this fight and the way Bas Rutten on the latest Bertcast described the way he felt during some of his later fights after he moved past fighting angry is incredibly interesting. The feeling of being completely present and and hyper-aware, he attributes it to him controlling his breathing beforehand, seemingly very similar to the way Cory treated the warm-up for Chito.
There's a lot of potential in psychedelics, I can't wait to try any of them mushroom specifically but it's just so hard to find a reliable source over here, l'll be glad if anyone can be of help
This makes so much sense. I was rooting for Chito and to see how thoroughly Sandhagen beat him was kind of tough to take but it was obvious that he was on another level that night. Props to him for sharing his approach to the game. People don't often realize that the same approach will only work for you during a short stage in life, no matter what it is you do, so a lot of time is spent trying to recapture something that probably isn't going to work again because you're a different person now. It's a mind ef when you're living it
Wow !!!! that was pure gold. Cory is on another level , such a genuine and humble guy. So refreshing listening to a fighter talk so honestly, he makes O'Malley seem like a 10 year old boy in comparison
What a coincidence! Just watched his last episode on JRE and his mindset change in only 2 years is very fascinating, Cory will probably become the Champ
Sandhagen described the exact feeling I get from a deep adrenaline rush... like when there is an emergency or a bad injury I become really calm and extremely confident in my decision making... I often take authority of the situation and ppl just start obeying my directions. Its happened multiple times to me, and after awhile I started to notice it in the moment, and would often ask myself like "who tf is this guy?" I wish I could be in that state of mind all of the time. I can only imagine how great that would feel amidst a UFC top contender fight.
What's up man, I almost never comment on CZcams but because you stated your wish to have that state of mind more often I felt like recommending you the book ''A New Earth'' by Eckhart Tolle. If it feels right to you just look it up and see if you ever feel like reading it. It has personally done a lot for me and might help you get closer to your wish. Take care and best wishes man
Cory fought an amazing fight. But Rogan is wrong saying no brakes, 100% onslaught all 5 rounds. IMO Cory clearly slowed down and was slightly less aggressive, taking a little bit less chances after he dominated the first two rounds - knowing he was going to win on the cards. Would have been interesting to hear Rogan ask him about that. That was a very smart strategic move by Cory against a powerful dangerous Vera who gets rolling as fight continues.
He seems like a super chill guy. I’m not especially familiar with the UFC but this guy seems 1000% more chill than the majority of the other fighters I’ve heard speak. Hope it goes well for him
It’s so interesting bc in my life I’ve experienced the same thing. Old patters of mental tricks don’t work anymore. I’m constantly brought back to being in the moment & experiencing a flow in that. It comes with so much clarity.
Cory has been my favorite up and coming fighter in the entire UFC for a while. Such a well put together and technical individual. Can’t wait til he is champion!
Cory is a true martial artist and a dude that I believe thinks about fighting on a different level than just the violence we know. What’s most impressive to me about him is the adjustments he makes during the fight and his timing.
Great interview. Cory did a great job articulating his fight preparation. Joe asked really good questions and Cory had really good answers. It might be the weed talking but this clip was some hi level martial art state of mind insight. I wanna see the whole interview now.
Cory described growing-up & into yourself 6 weeks before that fight. What an honest,raw , eloquent description of his transcending experience. Whatever you do that challenges you can be turned into that type of chill focus ; I will now follow this guy more closely as he has his shit together.🥊💥
I can admit that I thought Cory had reached his zenith when Yan bested him pretty clearly, and he had a tough one against TJ (although I agree he won) that he'd become a gatekeeper for the top 5. Happy to say he's proved me wrong, I think he could avenge those losses to Yan and Sterling at this moment. Looking forward to seeing more from him.
Corey used to train at a local gym. He was kind enough to give my buddy a pair of nice shorts to train in when he couldn’t afford them himself. I really like chito but I’m rooting for Corey in any fight after he did that good dude
I didn't want either of them to lose but was supporting Chito big time. Cory showed his true potential and I hope he can get the belt soon so they can have a big rematch
I swear I’ve experienced what he mentioned. I know it’s an overused euphemism but I call it the eye of the tiger. If you experience that during a fight… I truly believe the opponent is going to lose.
He is very technical, his distance management, footwork, and his stance switching. He is very accurate with each strikes, he one of my favorite new generation of fighters.
This kid man.. if he can keep making 135 at his frame, he's going to be almost unbeatable in time man. He's bigger in stature than the suga show.. with a better mind than anyone at 135. I'm amazed at how good he's become
I love it when Cory talks about the last minutes before walking out, each time that you get closer to the fight, your own mind plays tricks with you like you’re leading up into your own destruction. The true mind of a martial artist.
As a Masters student in Sport and Performance Psychology, it gives me chills thinking I could have the possibility of working with MMA Athletes. Absolute dream job. Great episode, gave me chills from start to finish.
I'm glad Corey won, but it was a SPLIT DECISION according to the judges, which is beyond ridiculous. For a second, when the scorecards were being read, I said out loud, "wow, they are about to rob this man of a clear, dominant win." Thankfully it didn't happen, but my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach when the second judge gave the fight to Chito 48-47.
@ReppeNThA707 For real. I can see how Chito won one round, MAYBE. But the judge that gave Chito 3 rounds was either completely blind, or was paid for fabricating that score.
@@TheElbowMerchant I think it's pretty obvious that judges have a job that is more than just judging a fight. There have been far too many questionable scores and decisions over the last couple of years. Like blatant and brazen robberies that make you question the legitimacy of the sport.
@ReppeNThA707 No argument here. Incompetence only explains so much, but when it happens ALL THE TIME, people are going to come to the conclusion that it's direct financially-motivated corruption.
This guy is awesome, I can't imagine him having any haters. Having wrestled in my younger years and being in some fights after that, i think i have enough to almost imagine whst it might be like for some of these guys. His explanations are so insightful, its the closest most of us will ever come to being a cagefighter. This guy is gonna be a fantastic coach down the road
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Janet
This dude has the will to be a champion. I love how in tune with himself he is & how he takes the time to learn from mistakes & push himself to limits just to test himself out. He does everything it takes to be great. That being said, Sandhagen Vs O'Malley would be an epic battle. I can't be the only one hoping the universe has that one in the works for a future banger. 🤞 Those are my top 2 favorite fighters. Both of them are truly impressive.
This is what I love about UFC. The personality these fighters have crafted as a result of immense pressure and self reflection is quite inspiring and extremely respectful. I hope to be a man that has some of those characteristics someday
Really interesting to hear Cory talk about mindset and self examination. A man who is both a warrior and a philosopher. I’m always rooting for this guy.
Cultured thug/warrior poet

Joe is always talking about Miyamoto Musashi and the Book of 5 Rings, and Cory embodies alot of the things Joe loves alot about the book.

I dont think I've seen Joe that happy and engaged with anyone who wasnt a close buddy of his in a long, long time
Great comment
He and Ryan Hall probably get along like peas and carrots
Cory's self awareness of his emotions and how to handle them are why he's one of the most fluid strikers/fighters in UFC. Dude doesn't half ass it. He puts in the work it takes to be present and dialled in. Izzy is the same. He puts the work in to overcome the fear of stuff in fights so he can be lucid and see everything to be able to take risks in the pocket and have them pay off. Awesome to hear this stuff

He's just not hypnotized, like most people.
He’s a great philosopher… just like Nate Diaz

Cory is one of the few fighters who has a bachelor's degree. And his degree was in English so he is very articulate and calculated with his words.
@@kurtglathar5162 Cory has a degree in psychology which explains his deep knowledge of the mental side of the game.
That flow state he's talking about is one of the most amazing feelings. I hope everyone gets to experience it at least once in their life. It's otherworldly.

There's a lot of potential in psychedelics, I can't wait to try any of them mushroom specifically but it's just so hard to find a reliable source over here, l'll be glad if anyone can be of help
I've tried a lot and since the first time i tried it, I said "it's a crime against humanity to make psychedelic illegal"

(Got psychs:)
tripping is not a bad idea but having a Mycologist who will recommend you the dosage is the best option
@@Lisa78843
pls how do I find him?
Is it on IG?
@@ThomasLiam764 YES.He's got shrooms, lsd, magic mushrooms, chocolate bar, dmt and other psychedelics products.
Bro has ascended. Really really interesting stuff here. Best fighter insight I've ever heard.
This makes so much sense. I was rooting for Chito and to see how thoroughly Sandhagen beat him was kind of tough to take but it was obvious that he was on another level that night. Props to him for sharing his approach to the game. People don't often realize that the same approach will only work for you during a short stage in life, no matter what it is you do, so a lot of time is spent trying to recapture something that probably isn't going to work again because you're a different person now. It's a mind ef when you're living it
These windows into Cory’s journey of self mastery via martial arts are absolutely fascinating. I love the episodes with him.
"____ Describes ____ As Psychedelic" pretty much sums up the JRE podcast
Wow !!!! that was pure gold. Cory is on another level , such a genuine and humble guy.
So refreshing listening to a fighter talk so honestly, he makes O'Malley seem like a 10 year old boy in comparison
Very interesting going to watch the full episode
Cory's movement is the absolute matrix. My favourite fighter.
I love the MMA podcast the best! Cory is a beast!
Hell of a clip! Thanks Cory for breaking this down for us!
Wouldn’t rather have anyone else representing Aurora, CO! We love you Sandman!
🙌🙌 Very well spoken- Setting a beautiful example 💛 Future Champion no doubt 💪
Cory is a well rounded fighter!! He gets better, and better each time. I would love to train under him!
Brilliant, I can relate with my experience in the special forces. This level feels so outworldly when you come off it you can't even find the words
I was able to watch this live in person. What a great night of fights.
Seeing this fight live was a treat. Cory put on a masterclass performance. I cant wait to see him as champ on day.
On which day?
@@bruceleroy1683 it was a fight night on a saturday
I love Cory , a true warrior and insane mindset to have
beautiful description of the power of mindfulness, learning and repeating a skill and being now .trusting what is in perfect awareness.
Such good reflection/introspection.
Getting better at achieving his flow state. Mind and body working as one, also common to have self instruction in flow as he was saying.
What a coincidence! Just watched his last episode on JRE
and his mindset change in only 2 years is very fascinating, Cory will probably become the Champ
Very insightful stuff. He’s gained a fan.
Loved the first time Cory was on this show can’t wait to listen to this whole thing
Pure flow. 🙏
Sandhagen described the exact feeling I get from a deep adrenaline rush... like when there is an emergency or a bad injury I become really calm and extremely confident in my decision making... I often take authority of the situation and ppl just start obeying my directions. Its happened multiple times to me, and after awhile I started to notice it in the moment, and would often ask myself like "who tf is this guy?" I wish I could be in that state of mind all of the time. I can only imagine how great that would feel amidst a UFC top contender fight.
What's up man, I almost never comment on CZcams but because you stated your wish to have that state of mind more often I felt like recommending you the book ''A New Earth'' by Eckhart Tolle. If it feels right to you just look it up and see if you ever feel like reading it. It has personally done a lot for me and might help you get closer to your wish. Take care and best wishes man
@@synmazo I'll give it a look. Thanks!
He is so well spoken and wise. I think a lot of up and coming fighters or new fighters should listen to his advice.
words can’t describe how interesting this shit is
HIT UP
MACROPAUL6..
On instagram..
His the best online drug store I know, he got DMT, LSD and more..
Cory fought an amazing fight. But Rogan is wrong saying no brakes, 100% onslaught all 5 rounds. IMO Cory clearly slowed down and was slightly less aggressive, taking a little bit less chances after he dominated the first two rounds - knowing he was going to win on the cards.
Would have been interesting to hear Rogan ask him about that.
That was a very smart strategic move by Cory against a powerful dangerous Vera who gets rolling as fight continues.
He seems like a super chill guy. I’m not especially familiar with the UFC but this guy seems 1000% more chill than the majority of the other fighters I’ve heard speak. Hope it goes well for him
It’s so interesting bc in my life I’ve experienced the same thing. Old patters of mental tricks don’t work anymore. I’m constantly brought back to being in the moment & experiencing a flow in that. It comes with so much clarity.
Now Joe is considering fighting in the ufc just for the psychedelic experience lol
Cory is no doubt, one of the greatest minds in the game!🤯🤯🧠🧠☯☯
Never knew he was so deep and philosophical till recently
Cory has been my favorite up and coming fighter in the entire UFC for a while. Such a well put together and technical individual. Can’t wait til he is champion!
Cory is a true martial artist and a dude that I believe thinks about fighting on a different level than just the violence we know. What’s most impressive to me about him is the adjustments he makes during the fight and his timing.
Proud that my little brother is training with this guy. He’s gonna do big things
Great interview. Cory did a great job articulating his fight preparation. Joe asked really good questions and Cory had really good answers. It might be the weed talking but this clip was some hi level martial art state of mind insight. I wanna see the whole interview now.
Really good interview I watched it today
Dude is going to be a champ!
Cory described growing-up & into yourself 6 weeks before that fight. What an honest,raw , eloquent description of his transcending experience. Whatever you do that challenges you can be turned into that type of chill focus ; I will now follow this guy more closely as he has his shit together.🥊💥
Cory had become one of my favorite fighters a while back. It's great to see him getting back to the top
I can admit that I thought Cory had reached his zenith when Yan bested him pretty clearly, and he had a tough one against TJ (although I agree he won) that he'd become a gatekeeper for the top 5.
Happy to say he's proved me wrong, I think he could avenge those losses to Yan and Sterling at this moment. Looking forward to seeing more from him.
What does zenith mean?
@@lopez12345ml When something hits its zenith, it has reached as high as it ever will.
Corey used to train at a local gym. He was kind enough to give my buddy a pair of nice shorts to train in when he couldn’t afford them himself. I really like chito but I’m rooting for Corey in any fight after he did that good dude
I didn't want either of them to lose but was supporting Chito big time. Cory showed his true potential and I hope he can get the belt soon so they can have a big rematch
Very interesting and well articulated. It all made sense
Joe’s really thinking: “Dude just tell me what you took - shrooms, acid, DMT, ayahuasca, mescaline, peyote? What’d you take for real Sandman?”
I swear I’ve experienced what he mentioned. I know it’s an overused euphemism but I call it the eye of the tiger. If you experience that during a fight… I truly believe the opponent is going to lose.
He is very technical, his distance management, footwork, and his stance switching. He is very accurate with each strikes, he one of my favorite new generation of fighters.
This interview was great Cory is very admiral in his pursuit for the belt
This kid man.. if he can keep making 135 at his frame, he's going to be almost unbeatable in time man. He's bigger in stature than the suga show.. with a better mind than anyone at 135. I'm amazed at how good he's become
Vera is my favorite fighter. But damn, Corey was just untouchable the whole 25 min
I love it when Cory talks about the last minutes before walking out, each time that you get closer to the fight, your own mind plays tricks with you like you’re leading up into your own destruction. The true mind of a martial artist.
cory just got a new fan, a new follower out of me
As a Masters student in Sport and Performance Psychology, it gives me chills thinking I could have the possibility of working with MMA Athletes. Absolute dream job. Great episode, gave me chills from start to finish.
I'm glad Corey won, but it was a SPLIT DECISION according to the judges, which is beyond ridiculous. For a second, when the scorecards were being read, I said out loud, "wow, they are about to rob this man of a clear, dominant win." Thankfully it didn't happen, but my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach when the second judge gave the fight to Chito 48-47.
There's no way that Chito won the fight and that judge should really be scrutinized. Makes me think they had money on it.
@ReppeNThA707 For real. I can see how Chito won one round, MAYBE. But the judge that gave Chito 3 rounds was either completely blind, or was paid for fabricating that score.
@@TheElbowMerchant I think it's pretty obvious that judges have a job that is more than just judging a fight. There have been far too many questionable scores and decisions over the last couple of years. Like blatant and brazen robberies that make you question the legitimacy of the sport.
@ReppeNThA707 No argument here. Incompetence only explains so much, but when it happens ALL THE TIME, people are going to come to the conclusion that it's direct financially-motivated corruption.
Cory has one of the greatest mindsets in the game. Awesome interview
This guy is awesome, I can't imagine him having any haters. Having wrestled in my younger years and being in some fights after that, i think i have enough to almost imagine whst it might be like for some of these guys. His explanations are so insightful, its the closest most of us will ever come to being a cagefighter. This guy is gonna be a fantastic coach down the road
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Janet
Wow I'm just shock you mentioned and recommended Expert Mrs Janet,I thought I'm the only trading with her
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SHOCK BECAUSE I'M ALSO A HUGE BENEFICIARY OF expert MRS JANET
This is quite helpful
My reaction to title: 🙄
Nobody asked
Chito was never my friend.
This dude has the will to be a champion. I love how in tune with himself he is & how he takes the time to learn from mistakes & push himself to limits just to test himself out. He does everything it takes to be great. That being said, Sandhagen Vs O'Malley would be an epic battle. I can't be the only one hoping the universe has that one in the works for a future banger. 🤞 Those are my top 2 favorite fighters. Both of them are truly impressive.
How Cory is talkin, is exactly how he fought that night against Chito. It was enlightening and super next level, a very complete fighter.
I’m saving this clip
This is what I love about UFC. The personality these fighters have crafted as a result of immense pressure and self reflection is quite inspiring and extremely respectful.
I hope to be a man that has some of those characteristics someday
GSP always talked about feeling that fear before a fight too and look where it got him! He's the GOAT!
