Episode Notes
Discussed on the episode: Tim Larkin breaks down a video of pro MMA fighters getting demolished in gas station brawl. Tim uses this video to emphasise the difference in mindset of fighting in the ring and the mindset required to survive and attack on the street. Like in this case, sometimes going into a confrontation with the wrong mindset can make all the difference between survival and disaster. Even if you have all the skills and the training, as the two MMA fighters clearly had.
