Eddie Alvarez: If you're still breathing there's a chance, you're never out of a fight

Eddie Alvarez on fighting through anything, no matter what.

The psychology of dressing well and looking good

A lot of people feel that creates a positive mindset, a feeling of increased self-esteem, self-worth, and generally optimistic mindset both on a conscious and subconscious level. So that in turn generates greater positive results.

A Forbes article in 2012 makes reference to this concept:

A study this year from Northwestern University examined a concept called “enclothed cognition.” Researchers define it in their report as “the systematic influence that clothes have on the wearer’s psychological processes,” meaning what your clothes are saying to you, not about you. And how they make you feel.

Sharp dressers such as a Georges St-Pierre, Eddie Alvarez, Anthony Pettis, and Rory MacDonald, try and zero in on this fashion psychological phenomenon.

Eddie Alvarez on living the way he fights

Eddie Alvarez on art reflecting life and life reflecting art:

If I don't give up in the ring, I don't give up in life. If I'm patient in life, I'm patient in the ring. If I give my 100% in the ring, I give my 100% in life...I try to live my life the same way I train, the same way I fight.
