For Fabiola Pidroni, fighting isn’t just about punches and submissions — it’s about breathing. As she prepares for her showdown with former EFC champion Chiara Penco at Cage Warriors 195 in Rome, Pidroni turns to simple but powerful rituals to steady herself during fight week.
“I use breathing and relaxation techniques a lot,” Pidroni said. “Everyone thinks being a fighter is too ‘cool,’ but we’re under 24/7 stress. I try to live day by day, hour by hour, without letting the pressure get to me.”
