“I asked him what the hardest thing for him to do was because obviously he’s a freak athlete but something had to be difficult, and I find it’s the exact same thing I’m having difficulty with, which is learning to let go.
Striking or sparring is completely different. Somebody’s trying to punch me in the face and I’m trying to punch someone in the face, but often I’ll find I’m too light on guys if I’m (working on his ground game.) My hips aren’t heavy enough. It’s like the old pro-wrestling kicking in, and he had the same problem.”
