“My best advice for mental training is simply to create good habits, in order to build a sense of security and calm around you. Also, you could try to distance yourself emotionally from the whole situation. In my case, I just look at it objectively: We are two guys going inside a cage to work. That's it. Try to de-escalate the pressure. Take a couple of deep breaths. Don't hype things up. And stay positive, even if you're fighting for your life.” IfsTryingLooksTwoWholeGuyOrderFightingSituationCasesAdviceSecurityCoupleHabitTrainingPressureBreathsDistanceCalmMmaCagesHypeStay PositiveDeep BreathBest AdviceGood HabitsTwo Guys Author:Alexander Gustafsson

“My advice is: to try and stay really true to the things that make YOU laugh, as opposed to trying to create a character that you think is funny.

“I think I was also afraid of the novel. I write line by line, proceeding at snail's pace, rewriting as I go and paring the excess away. This is against all the best advice for writing long form prose, and I have tried over the years to break myself of the habit, but I can't bear to leave anything ungainly on the page and half the fun for me is that tinkering.
