In May, Dom Mar Fan went on his way to the road to UFC quarterfinals in Shanghai. The resident of Brisbane was linked to one FC veteran Yuji Yannick Ephoeviga. When he got that name and saw the record that was added, Mar Fan knew that there was a good chance that he would probably be a big underdog.
“I was expecting it a bit. I made a solid attempt not to look at the gambling numbers or something in the run-up to the fight, but when I first got the name of the opponent and I looked, it was 11-0. I had something like that, there is a good chance that people will take that this man will win, Mar Fan,” explained a fan, “.” “And look, I think it’s understandable. When I looked at the man’s fighting, I couldn’t find that he actually bleed physically or metaphorically.”
Although he doesn’t like to look at Whangds, he came out before the fight to find them thanks to some students of his. And behind it that he was almost a 5-on-1 underdog, did not really make him happy.
“There was a group cat in which I was with a couple of my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students, and then they were talking about it. I opened the message and I saw it,” he explained. “I was a bit pissed off. I didn’t want to see that. I think I knew a bit.”
Unfortunately, the fight was not won or lost at the grabbits. The man they know as ‘Street Buddha’ went out, triggered the Takedowns and did serious damage. He won a comfortable unanimous decision and hit his ticket to the semi -final this weekend.
“He did reasonably well in his fighting, but I was convinced from the start that he never had anyone like me. And I went outside and proved that,” Mar Fan said with pride.
After picking up the victory, “Street Buddha” has a ritual where he gets a victory round on all those who doubted him. It is not only a way to dunk of those who have not given him a chance, but it is also a way to get strength for future fights.
“After the fight, I wanted this process I like to go and I searched all the different YouTube videos for me, all previews and so. I just wanted to see what most people said in terms of whether they would win, losing. It was all very interesting – –
It was a good watch, “he explained.” It gives me power for future fights, because I know that I am going to fight where I am seen as the underdog. I think it can be easy for hunters to get into their own head if they let people who are not those in the cage control the story. They start to listen too much to it. Nowadays I feel more resilient and more durable against everything from that external input. “
He will use this mental space and trust again this Friday. He takes on Jae Hyun Park with a place in the lightweight final on the line. That card starts at 6 am and is available on UFC Fight Pass.
