There is a rumor floating around that fighters get dropped into the Octagon on fight night, do their thing, then get airlifted to fighter nirvana, where there are no bills to pay, no personal issues to deal with, and nothing but injury-free training to be conducted.
That rumor is false. Fighters, while doing extraordinary things within the eight-sided cage, are ordinary people outside of competition, so everything that happens in “real” life during a training camp will carry over into the fight.
Hyder Amil knows this all too well, and he dealt with it intimately in the lead-up to his March win over William Gomis.
