Chris Weidman on how important the mental game is in mixed martial arts. In his fight with Anderson Silva for the UFC title at UFC 162, there was several points where he could have lost confidence, but his faith in himself didn't wane and he was able to pull of the upset and defeat Silva via knockout to become the new UFC middleweight champion.
You've just got to be confident. And you can say anything you want before the fight, but it's all about when you touch those gloves, do you still have the confidence and I'm going to make sure I do. It's all mental.
