Congratulations! This vid you used impeccable vocabulary to formulate the concepts. Outside of fighting, I'd argue excitement is the most powerful human emotion for positive change. You could use the same flow and excitement concepts to describe how a comedian kills it on stage, for example. So this is helpful info for anyone trying to succeed. Excitement can help build connections and relationships bc it is so powerful, ppl pick up on it. I will go ahead and mention that for things like telekinesis, excitement and anger are the emotions ppl have the most success with. I don't agree w using anger, and think that could just lead to hurting oneself, but my point is that excitement is a form of higher energy vs other human emotions. In this case, it has enough power to help the brain move physical objects with EM fields and/or brainwaves. I know this to be true, and as a martial arts practitioner who's been in flow-state, that power can help the fighter hit better timings and make better reads, because potentially an excited mind could mess with someone in a lower energy state as well. Like when we say a fighter has another's number. In the book of Five Rings: Fire is a psychological element meant to make the opponent feel like they're being suffocated, by means of only your mind, strategy, and posture. I think the deadliest melee combatant in history knew what he was talking about.
1. Needs to be challenging but not too challenging 2. Anchoring - internal emotion linked to external action 3. Anxiety is actually excitement 4. Remaining present 5. Visualization beforehand
@motorsports5727 What if it's too challenging, like preparing for an exam at university or school? Because there will be a lot of things to cover for lessons that eventually you will become bored, the solution is to turn the boredom into excitement but overall what if it's too challenging?
Jon is literally a psychopath but found the perfect profession for himself. just the way he talks and thinks in action and reaction and the way it translates to his fighting and the way he studies is on another level
A psychopath is more dangerous because they have the ability to blend in but premeditate their actions. A sociopath is a narcissist too, but usually more impulsive and anti social ie being a maniac or controlling social situations to be centre of attention. The comment is right, given the right tool and opportunities, psychopaths can be produce members of society legally like lawyers, fighters and career criminals who then help intelligence agencies because because know how to burgle. Jon could easily otherwise be a violent offender if ufc hadn't given him the outlet for validation in a controlled environment
I also think a huge part of Jon's success is momentum. Jon has been winning for over a decade straight now, which inspires a level of confidence through external repetition & validation
But it also puts a lot of pressure on him to keep winning so it could go either way depending on Jon, especially on his original plan to come back and beat Ngannou during those 3 years there was a lot on the line and expectations if he had for Francis or even his fight against Gane was a question if Jon would still be the same fighter
he turns fear into excitement, he study's a tendency and only because of the ability that he has then he can exploit a tendency, he flows because of the challenge presented is perfect for the flow state and he has a routine that allows him to feel comfortable......i would argue fear is totally the last feeling you want to have.
@@flannelfield5255 yes that's true fear and excitement are pretty much the same thing tho just in opposite frames negative and positive I didn't word my comment very well
My takeaway: To be on flow means to be balanced between anxiety and boredom. If you are losing a path, repeat an anchor (same action ~ same feeling/ Maslows effect) to bring you back. Change you attitude through positive affirmation for the present, to change from anxiety to excitement. Stay as present as possible Prepare yourself as good as possible and repeat how you are achieving what you want, will help you to be strong at your weakest points.
Jon Jones is like a God of War. There is no other place he belongs. He seems to have trouble in every part of life but as soon as he is in the cage, he ascends to a really incredible place. Too bad he cant apply that to everything else
Nahh.. Caucasians tend to drive elite black combat artist insane.. by over pressuring them to fight everyone to prove themselves, robbing them of full credit until they run out of opponents.. putting them under more stress than a caucasian fighter who is allowed to move at his own pace through the ranks without being robbed of credit before he’s fought the top guys… this goes back to the early stages of boxing when they fought nearly 100 times per yr.. Now the elite blk fighter feels as though he can lose everything over a bad fight.. his credit is perpetually hanging on by a thread, as non-blk fans await his downfall.. spiking his anxiety through the roof.. that anxiety colors every aspect of his life, including their dealings with fans… wives.. civilians etc. Mayweather got rich off of non-blk fans dying to see him lose.. not because the average fan loved him.. Jones got wasted before every fight to have a built in excuse, to alleviate the idea of losing after thoroughly preparing to win.. Tyson folded under the pressure completely and went crazy… Ali put himself at too much risk for the approval of racist fans, causing severe brain damage.. this even bleeds over into other sports like the NBA.. Westbrook has a couple bad seasons now caucasian fans are so toxic towards him that he can’t bring his family to games.. Ppl constantly mock Lebron even though he’s a legend and they manufacture petty reasons to disrespect a man who hasn’t had a major scandal for caucasians to latch onto.. Ben Simmons can’t even go to certain games because he is serially disrespected for underperforming and not meeting caucasian expectations.. etc. So luckily Jon is blessed with self belief, regardless of how the average caucasian UFC fan spits on his legacy. The “flow state” is a decent explanation. Not a single caucasian fighter will ever have to deal with this pressure and unrealistic level of expectations.
@@mangopudding5979 Fedor is not like that. Fedor is gentle and creative in his life outside the ring. Jon Jones literally has to restrain himself from ruining lives outside the ring lol
The deep visualization technique is something that Gilbert Burns has also talked in depth during a Brazilian podcast called Connect Podcast. Also talked about coming to term with what will happen during the fight. What he'll have to endure and inflict on his opponents and truly coming to terms with accepting that he'll enjoy hurting them. Which is is something that according to him most fighters are unable to accept about themselves. Which is why they have inconsistent performances. It makes sense to me, I mean look at Fedor. That was a man that couldn't be broken. You could just look at him and see that that was a man that wasn't in war with himself.
Bruh just because a guy lost to someone else doesn't make their whole approach wrong. Fedor had losses and his principled approach to fighting has a gem for anyone who wants to fight. And Belal is a strong contender who had a wonderful night against a guy who may or may not have been off his game. Hope Burns bounces back from this one.
I wouldn't have thought that the reluctance to inflict harm on someone bothered many fighters, but even MacGregor has spoken of it. The game is 99% mental.
@@youtubeaccountserio2633 He did, didn't he? Belal had a job to do and he pulled it off. Good for him. But let's not forget that he beat a guy that could only move one arm for 22:30 mins of a 25 minutes fight. It means that his opponent couldn't use his left to feint which makes it nearly impossible to land the right. It also means no combos, TDs (you need your leading hand) and Grappling. It's kind of outstanding that Burns ended up landing that many hits with only one arm.
Jon has been fighting since he was 6.his brother provided many fists to the face.i have bothers this how it is.but this trio of brothers is something violently special.
“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it.

@@thisismyusername7282 the 'scandals aside' is for Jones only. UFC tried to downplay Dimitrous's Legacy cos they didn't see eye to eye but he is unbelievably Good at work he does
Truly amazing. This is the best mma commentary video that certainly i have ever seen. Really something special and probably the first person to notice these key techniques jones uses and put it in a video. Thanks for making this masterpiece im absolutely gonna use these especially flow and studying opponents which is massively undervalued. Cant go into a fight blind. Also this can be applied to any life Situation and make it a lot easier to go trough and make the best of it.
I love the way you elaborate the behaviour of these fighters in this channel. This is immensely important to us since we invariably cope with the same situations and we can use the same actions of these fighters to overcome our adversity. Keep uploading great contents !
Dude this video is amazing. Flow is essentially what you feel when your playing Tetris. It starts off easy and can cause boredom but as the difficulty increases you enter flow. But once the difficulty increases too much you lose. This is also touched on in Dragon Ball Super, called Ultra Instinct. The feeling of effortlessness and fighting without even thinking. You just react and know exactly what to do in every situation. Exactly how Cody Garbrandt explained it. I use to experience flow all the time whenever I would play fortnite and get into build battles with others or play box fights. It felt amazing and the rush and excitement was like a drug. The flow state felt amazing so that’s why I kept playing fortnite.
This video is great. Succinct, accurate and well-articulated breakdown of flow state. Really puts the concept into perspective and shows how applicable it is to everyone's lives, fighter or otherwise. A+
Christian Craighead (former 22 SAS) mentioned this flow state when he was involved with the Nairobi Terror Attack when he went in alone and took care of business...said he never felt that level of flow state in his entire career compared to that day. Everything was heightened.....controlling everything.....more aware....it's truely Amazing!
Will always say this is no doubt the greatest psychology channel not only to be used for fighting but to use within life itself. Couldn't be happier to see 20K+ Subs, Congratulations and never stop these videos!
Thank you man, that genuinely means a lot. I put a ton of work into each video to try to provide the most value possible. I appreciate the support a ton
not only is he athletically gifted with great fight iq, strength, pain tolerance, and chin, but he's got a crazy reach which lets him get his hand connected for any grip from any position. clearly also works hard to stay in shape. but if you gave him a 78 inch or 76 inch reach, im not sure if he'd be nearly as successful. it's a combination of talent and skill.
@@mangopudding5979 You're telling me you don't know what reach is in the context of MMA, and you think you're qualified to say he's not athletically gifted?
I just found this channel last night and have been watching all your videos non stop, this is amazing! As a psychology student I have learned so much from you! I think that Tyson Fury’s story, Vinny Paz, and George Formans would be amazing videos as they have absolutely incredible stories
Hey, glad you like the videos, man! Awesome to hear. I have definitely considered Tyson Fury, I just wasn't sure if the people watching the channel would be interested in boxing/bjj athletes. Thank you for the recommendations!
@@PsychologyOfTheFight I’ll listen to anyone that you analyze I never thought I’d like chess either but the video you did with the chess player and Israel was awesome! You make it easy to learn from any walk of life!
Phenominal video. Thank you for this - I was always interested in how gsp does the nipple thing before entering and I knew that would get him into flow but the way you explained it is insane literally anime unlocking something through repitition
That’s actually great. I caught myself thinking and tried calm myself down by flipping every thought with a positive one until I just said fuck it and went outside of my head and focused just on the task I had to do with no thought. I had the best game out of my life
Kudos to JJ but... 1. He always had a great physical advantage against his opponents. 2. When it didn't happen, it was a draw (vs Gustafson and Reyes) 3. His masterpiece was vs Gane. But Gane had many holes in the grappling department.
Guy is just incredibly good at staying calm in there. Like beyond what I’ve ever seen, never really loses his cool. I don’t like the eye poking though, shitty thing to do.
I know flow state well. Not being able to get into it whenever, it have been in the zone plenty of times. Once in high school, I took a charge late in the game, crowd went fucking bananas, my whole body went numb. Coach was hyping me up and I can’t remember a word he said to this day. From the point on, I took over and checked out of the game after my last free throw made on an and 1 that put the nail in the coffin. I moved so effortlessly. Ultra instinct haha
Winning makes you stronger feeling invincible with zero self-doubt, I would really want to know how Jon Jones could handle a loss arguably he lost to Reyes 3-2 would he come back stronger or maybe not? Winning is easy loosing is hard you meet who you really are depending on how you handle loosing
@@PsychologyOfTheFight wow that's great. I love it because such breakdown videos help me in my own life. You're really out here making priceless content. Never could I imagine someone making mma content and at the same time be able to have such a positive effect on people's trajectory in life🙏
@@Akshat-zw9gr Love to hear it bro, it has been such an amazing ride creating content that I enjoy and serving other people's lives. Much love to you my friend
Jone Jones doesn't believe in his own hype, he doesn't believe he's invincible, and that,makes him better than most dominant champions who after several title defenses start being arrogant, even the alleged steroid use is because he doesn't believe he's that good, he takes each and every of his opponents seriously, the only time he underestimated someone was the first Gus fight and he almost paid for it.
I love how people can watch a whole video explaining mental processes, and then say "confidence' and 'momentum' 'fight iq'. No , he just told you. Flow state is true human potential.
This is absolutely true. Jon was bored with light heavyweight. Watch the “close” fights with Gustafson and Reyes. Jon would have STOMPED those guys if he actually cared to be there. He was bored as f**k. He didn’t even want to be there, let alone be fighting anyone, and he still handled those dudes. And those fights were not close. Jon still beat the shit out of both those guys.
What’s crazy about people that hate on Jon Jones is that they’ll watch a whole 7 minute video on why he’s successful just to make them selves hate him some more 😂😂 Lowkey fans lol
All his "Haters" Can say is "Reyes Beat Jon" "Steroid User" Or "His last 3 Fights were bad" Officially Jones beat Reyes.. as for steroid use it's a valid criticism but if steroid was all it took then why is TRT Belfort Or Horsemeat Ubereem Not In The GOAT Conversation?? If Steroids magically made you a goat.. His last 3 fights are valid criticism again but how can you say that now when He finished Gane In like 2 minutes, Back Before the Gane Fight Haters were saying he would get his ass beat and that he was Washed. He Beat Gane So badly and now the haters say.. it's because Gane is bad.. Like come on now
@@ABeastGaming exactly man, first off he wasn't on steroids this fight. Second, even if he was, we saw the performance and could tell it has nothing to do with steroids, just pure technique and planning. I still think he takes steroids for recovery but idgaf he's still the goat
@@Akshat-zw9gr Yep.. People forget that gane is the number 1 heavy weight contender when Jones fought him.. People were saying Gane was gonna be hard for him...
@Ash B yeahhh it's just that i have seen some ridiculously stupid comments saying what king of legacy does jon have if all he does is fight an old stipe and beat gane. Like people can criticize him for being a bad person but come on.. gotta give the man some credit inside the ring at least
so basically his fighting IQ is extremely high with a fast reaction time and an unbeatable gameplan because of analysing everything there is available. sounds like a real champion!
It’s funny how life works. Some of the best people get given shitty cards in life and so are never recognised for being a good person and some of the worst and given god given talents that overshadow there evil nature. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “life’s unfair”
Rayes vs Jones 3 :2 Rayes defeated him and it will be remembered, because life of truth is eternal, immortal is it's past, power of truth shall indure, truth shall hold till the last.
Love this. Any chance you doing some videos on Boxers? Keep hearing Wilder talks about how he transforms himself before a fight. Would love a video of even Mayweather’s supreme confidence before a fight as well. Keep up the great work
Great video! Though he’s not perfect, his interviews where he talks about his faith in Christ and how that empowers him is to do what he does is amazing.

note that he is always scared of opponents though and has loads of doubt. Fear is necessary for adrenaline and flow in fighting.
A huge part of his success is sandblasting steroids and breaking rules
he turns fear into excitement, he study's a tendency and only because of the ability that he has then he can exploit a tendency, he flows because of the challenge presented is perfect for the flow state and he has a routine that allows him to feel comfortable......i would argue fear is totally the last feeling you want to have.

This is a really good point I haven’t heard anyone else make
He realized fear is another word for excitement!
He’s a monster when it comes to fight mentality 🔥
Kudos to JJ but...
1. He always had a great physical advantage against his opponents.
2. When it didn't happen, it was a draw (vs Gustafson and Reyes)
3. His masterpiece was vs Gane. But Gane had many holes in the grappling department.
He always struck me as a heavy weight fighting light heavy’s.
Spot on his reach and stature wins him most fights
Then why is Stefan struve and James Vick not undefeated? 😂 Jon would win regardless of size
Also Jon's masterpiece was his first title fight. He literally made Shogun tap out due to strikes....STRIKES.
He beat Guss but yeah draw vs Reyes
I am a new subscriber, I think your videos are insightful and well made, keep it up.
Visualising is a powerful thing for sure, great video!
Thank you!
Awesome Analysis. I am enjoying watching your channel.
Appreciate it bro
Really great content man! Keep it up!
appreciate it brodie!
Guy is just incredibly good at staying calm in there. Like beyond what I’ve ever seen, never really loses his cool. I don’t like the eye poking though, shitty thing to do.
Awesome analysis and video work. Damn good stuff.
Appreciate it brotha!
I know flow state well. Not being able to get into it whenever, it have been in the zone plenty of times. Once in high school, I took a charge late in the game, crowd went fucking bananas, my whole body went numb. Coach was hyping me up and I can’t remember a word he said to this day. From the point on, I took over and checked out of the game after my last free throw made on an and 1 that put the nail in the coffin. I moved so effortlessly. Ultra instinct haha
Insane analysis, after you put it like that it’s hard to see anyone defeating Jon Bones Jones 🦴 ☠️
He already maxed out the physical stats. Add the mind power to it makes him unbeatable
You’re the man JD 🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴
Hey, you're a real one that has supported me since way back!! Appreciate you more than you know!
Your video is absolutely great, great editing and great commentary ☠️🦴
Great video. This can be applied on any skill. Thank you very much
The information in this video is worth more than a million dollars
Winning makes you stronger feeling invincible with zero self-doubt, I would really want to know how Jon Jones could handle a loss arguably he lost to Reyes 3-2 would he come back stronger or maybe not? Winning is easy loosing is hard you meet who you really are depending on how you handle loosing
Bro your content is insane. Youre gonna blow up to 100k+ in no time just keep it pumping. I was curious if youre a student of psychology?
I appreciate it man!! And I appreciate the compliment, I am not a spring chicken anymore! But I did go to grad school for psychology
@@PsychologyOfTheFight wow that's great. I love it because such breakdown videos help me in my own life. You're really out here making priceless content. Never could I imagine someone making mma content and at the same time be able to have such a positive effect on people's trajectory in life🙏
@@Akshat-zw9gr Love to hear it bro, it has been such an amazing ride creating content that I enjoy and serving other people's lives. Much love to you my friend
Stellar content as always! 🦴 👏
Appreciate it as always!!
Damn this channel is full of bangers. Subbing
Welcome, my friend
Jone Jones doesn't believe in his own hype, he doesn't believe he's invincible, and that,makes him better than most dominant champions who after several title defenses start being arrogant, even the alleged steroid use is because he doesn't believe he's that good, he takes each and every of his opponents seriously, the only time he underestimated someone was the first Gus fight and he almost paid for it.
The front kick to the knee to hyper extend the opponent
I love how people can watch a whole video explaining mental processes, and then say "confidence' and 'momentum' 'fight iq'. No , he just told you. Flow state is true human potential.
Well said many people are not aware of this
Amazing work by this UA-cam channel. Congrats
Thank you, my friend. Appreciate you stopping by
God gifted fighter Jon Jones
He isn't gifted.
Jon has the perfect range fighting style.
🦴 ☠️ that was fuckin ‘ amazing man. Flow state is so important in sports or any activity really .
Appreciate it brotha! It is very true, it is an amazing tool that some argue it is the peak human experience
This is absolutely true. Jon was bored with light heavyweight. Watch the “close” fights with Gustafson and Reyes. Jon would have STOMPED those guys if he actually cared to be there. He was bored as f**k. He didn’t even want to be there, let alone be fighting anyone, and he still handled those dudes. And those fights were not close. Jon still beat the shit out of both those guys.
I don't care what anybody says Jon bones Jones is the goat.. He's a wolf that eats goats.. Hes the greatest period
This video was brilliantly done !
🎯🎯🎯💯🐐🐐🐐
great vid bro!
Thank you brotha!
What’s crazy about people that hate on Jon Jones is that they’ll watch a whole 7 minute video on why he’s successful just to make them selves hate him some more 😂😂
Lowkey fans lol
All his "Haters" Can say is "Reyes Beat Jon" "Steroid User" Or "His last 3 Fights were bad" Officially Jones beat Reyes.. as for steroid use it's a valid criticism but if steroid was all it took then why is TRT Belfort Or Horsemeat Ubereem Not In The GOAT Conversation?? If Steroids magically made you a goat.. His last 3 fights are valid criticism again but how can you say that now when He finished Gane In like 2 minutes, Back Before the Gane Fight Haters were saying he would get his ass beat and that he was Washed. He Beat Gane So badly and now the haters say.. it's because Gane is bad.. Like come on now
@@ABeastGaming exactly man, first off he wasn't on steroids this fight. Second, even if he was, we saw the performance and could tell it has nothing to do with steroids, just pure technique and planning. I still think he takes steroids for recovery but idgaf he's still the goat
@@Akshat-zw9gr Yep.. People forget that gane is the number 1 heavy weight contender when Jones fought him.. People were saying Gane was gonna be hard for him...
@Ash B yeahhh it's just that i have seen some ridiculously stupid comments saying what king of legacy does jon have if all he does is fight an old stipe and beat gane. Like people can criticize him for being a bad person but come on.. gotta give the man some credit inside the ring at least
I respect his work ethic and the fact he is a genius but his personality isn’t angelic to say the least
Amazing video and work. Exactly what it is. Props
so basically his fighting IQ is extremely high with a fast reaction time and an unbeatable gameplan because of analysing everything there is available. sounds like a real champion!
Bro basically goes Ultra Instinct
Jon jones is his biggest enemy. Its a shame that such gift was given to such a terrible human being
It’s funny how life works. Some of the best people get given shitty cards in life and so are never recognised for being a good person and some of the worst and given god given talents that overshadow there evil nature. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “life’s unfair”
Even then, everyone is rewarded according to their deeds and understanding eventually.

Rayes vs Jones 3 :2 Rayes defeated him and it will be remembered, because life of truth is eternal, immortal is it's past, power of truth shall indure, truth shall hold till the last.

This was legit. Good work!
Awesome video bro
Steroids and dirty fighting, that's pretty much it
How many guys on steroids have had Jones career? Cope comment
Ive heard omalley and his coach talk about the flow state and just being able to focus on your breathing and thats it
I’ll save you 7 minutes, it’s roids.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t be a hater white boy🤣🤣🤣 yall be mad that the greatest be black men. Boo hoo
Amazing vid
Great video
Love this. Any chance you doing some videos on Boxers? Keep hearing Wilder talks about how he transforms himself before a fight. Would love a video of even Mayweather’s supreme confidence before a fight as well. Keep up the great work
Perfect video my brother 🦴
Appreciate u brother
☠️ nice video mate watched it completely loved it
Great video! Though he’s not perfect, his interviews where he talks about his faith in Christ and how that empowers him is to do what he does is amazing.
This is a quality vid, keep it up
Appreciate it!
Great analysis, I needed this. I got a fight coming up
Best video ever seen in UA-cam
