1
There's something really remarkably sort of liberating
2
and amazing to hear a UFC champion talking about imposter syndrome
3
because it really does feel like it feels like there's and this is I know this is an obvious misconception.
4
It really doesn't feel like someone with your swag and confidence could feel those things.
5
You talked about therapy as well.
6
And when you spoke to Joe Rogan about therapy and about after your UFC debut.
7
Yeah, that swell you went through.
8
I I wrote about this in my book
9
because I got really compelled by this really bizarre thing
10
that happened in my life when my company joined the stock market
11
and I'm sat in my room in Manchester and it's worth 300 million
12
and I'm figuring out how much money that means I've got.
13
And it feeling like the worst day of my life.
14
And then when I heard you talking a little bit about how you felt after your UFC fight, hiding in the toilet, when people are pestering you to ask you questions
15
and that annoying dude sitting down next to you when you've tried to hide.
16
After my UFC debut, the after party, After the fight, it's always, like I said, I get pulled in so many different directions,
17
and it's just like, it was my first time in the UFC, so I was my first time experiencing all that.
18
And it's like coffee.
19
It's a stimulant.
20
Coffee's a stimulant.
21
So after your UFC debut and you show out, like the way I did, I stole the show.
22
I came in and I stole the show, and it was just like, cameras this, oh, we need you to interview this, come talk to this person, talk to this person.
23
And then I didn't get time to myself till I got back home.
24
And when I was back home and I was in my own house and finally away from all the noise, and it's just like, and then I remember, it's like coffee, you drink coffee,
25
you got the coffee high and then you crash.
26
So it was literally that.
27
like just lack of the stimulant and I just crashed.
28
I was like, why am I sad?
29
I just found myself being really sad.
30
And I remember it's probably on my old phone, me documenting my recovery.
31
Cause I was like, like video diaries that is.
32
I was like, why am I sad?
33
Like I made six figures in my UFC debut.
34
That's including the bonus as well.
35
Yeah.
36
And I'm just like, there's no need to be sad.
37
I fucking killed that shit.
38
And that's when I started to kind of like take therapy seriously.
39
Cause I was like, okay, this is not, I'm not going to be one of these bad statistics, you know, that you hear about in entertainment.
40
So yeah, I had to, I guess take a hard look at myself, but then therapy helped with that.
41
Cause then you find the right person who can kind of help you, I guess, figure you out.
42
And all they do is just actually the right questions and then show you, I guess yourself.
43
Yeah.
44
Can you, cause I heard you say that you picked up tools from therapy
45
that helps you sort of navigate all of that attention in this new position you were in.
46
What were the tools?
47
Oh, so it wasn't until I fought Bronson that I was able to go back home and just kind of like, I keep saying it's like I came back from prison.
48
What do you call it?
49
Like weaved back into society, regular life normally.
50
You know, it was until I, that was my fourth UFC fight.
51
But then each fight after that, same thing, I'd go back home and I just like had this crash and I had to realize,
52
okay, this is something that I can't have happen constantly because it's not healthy.
53
A tool, I can say, that helped me.
54
One of the ones that helped was Charlamagne's book at the time, Shook Once, Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me.
55
I read that during the – I finished reading that actually during the Brunson fight, that fight week.
56
I finished reading that and I got a lot of gems from that book.
57
But from therapy, one – from therapy, from my own experience is talking to myself.
58
the self-talk because you have we all have negative self-talk
59
but looking in the mirror
60
and talking to yourself you know speaking to yourself like you would to someone you're giving advice to
61
because when you look in the mirror you humanize yourself
62
and i'll start to like you know just have a conversation with myself even like gee myself up
63
if i want to bring myself up things like that
64
so that's a tool
65
that i feel like is really underrated it looks crazy you know standing in front of the mirror
66
and talking to yourself but it's a really powerful tool
67
if you know how to use it right fighters don't talk
68
much about their mental health i think whitaker did the other day
69
and you you kind of thanked him and applauded him for doing
70
that for being yeah yeah i mean i put him in a dark place after
71
that first fight and i understand
72
because guess what he was trying to do the same thing
73
to me um a guy i respect is um tyson fury
74
because he's he spoke about that you know to ends like
75
and how dark he went he went to like the depths of hell in his own head
76
and then he's risen above it
77
and he says like he battles with every day i feel like look there's your spectrum of physical health
78
this is super healthy super ill if you do not look after yourself
79
and your physical health you're going to get physically ill same way if you don't look after your mental health
80
you're going to get mentally ill so i feel like
81
if you're it's like someone's saying like you know I don't go to therapy, fuck all that shit.
82
It's like, well, do you take vitamins?
83
Do you go to the hospital?
84
It's not something to be, you know, shy, like, whatever from.
85
I feel like you should look after your mental health the same way you look after your physical health.
86
So once I learned how powerful that was, I'm always on top of it.

Sprachziele für diesen Clip

Dieser Clip eignet sich perfekt, um das Englisch sprechen üben und gleichzeitig das Verständnis von emotionalen Themen in der alltäglichen Kommunikation zu verbessern. Er zielt auf die Entwicklung von fluider Sprachproduktion ab, insbesondere bei der Beschreibung von persönlichen Erfahrungen und komplexen Gefühlen wie dem "Imposter-Syndrom" oder emotionalen Schwankungen. Durch die natürliche Gesprächsführung lernst du, wie man sich in Situationen ausdrückt, die zwischen Erfolg und innerer Unsicherheit schwanken – ein Szenario, das in vielen Lebensbereichen vorkommt.

Phrasenbank: Wiederverwendbare Ausdrücke

  • "It feels like the worst day of my life" – Ein kraftvoller Ausdruck, um extreme Enttäuschung oder Überforderung zu beschreiben.
  • "I stole the show" – Bedeutet, dass man die Aufmerksamkeit aller auf sich lenkt, z. B. durch eine hervorragende Leistung.
  • "Crash" (im Kontext von Emotionen) – Beschreibt einen plötzlichen emotionalen Absturz nach einem Hoch ("Ich bin total abgestürzt").
  • "Take a hard look at myself" – Bedeutet, sich ehrlich und kritisch zu betrachten ("Ich musste mir ehrlich ins Gesicht sehen").
  • "Weaved back into society" – Ein metaphorischer Ausdruck für die Rückkehr zum normalen Leben nach einer außergewöhnlichen Situation.

Schwächen beheben: Aussprache und Rhythmus

Der Clip hilft, zwei wichtige Aspekte zu verbessern: Zum einen die Englische Aussprache verbessern bei Wörtern mit schwierigen Klängen wie "stimulant" (['stɪmjələnt]) oder "pestering" (['pestərɪŋ]). Achte darauf, die Betonung in langen Wörtern zu beachten – "imposter syndrome" wird z. B. auf "im-POS-ter" betont. Zum anderen lernst du den natürlichen Rhythmus von gesprochenem Englisch kennen: Die Gesprächspartner verwenden Pausen und Intonation, um Emotionen zu betonen (z. B. bei "Why am I sad?"). Für effektives Lernen empfehle ich das Shadowspeaks-Verfahren: Wiederhole die Sätze direkt nach den Sprechern, um Rhythmus und Aussprache zu internalisieren. Ein shadowing site kann hierbei hilfreich sein, um die Übung strukturiert zu gestalten.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
