"The reason why I’ve been doing so good on standup is that I try to figure out my opponent. Does he think I’m gonna hit him? If he does, then I need to do that. If he thinks I’m gonna go out there and hit him and try to take him down, he might be waiting for that. So you’ve got to feel out your opponent, and sometimes, it hasn’t gone long enough to get that. The Lord has blessed me with some power, and one thing that I have noticed is that I don’t try to knock anybody out. I really don’t. All I’m trying to do is throw fast and about 80 percent. That’s all I need to throw. I’m just trying to get it there as fast as I can. That’s it. Because the faster my hands go, the quicker I can see what I need to do. For some reason, time slows down and me and my opponent slow down when I’m in the Octagon, and whenever I do something, I can sorta see what’s coming."
