It's really a thinking sport, and like I said, you don't really think that when you think of cage fighting because it is so brutal and barbaric, but you are thinking a lot because these moves are very difficult. It's just a lot of training and a lot of monotonous skill work, just going over moves and repetition, doing it over and over again until it becomes instinctual. So it really is a lot of work.
