The Eagle’s work ethics is unmatched

‘The Eagle’ was much feared in the octagon for his relentless grappling and suffocating ground-and-pound strategy. As the most dominant fighter of the last decade, he retired after the last fight against Justin Gaethje. Since then, he has been an active promoter and trainer to many world-class fighters. His fighting record stands at twenty-nine wins against no losses. While eight of his wins came through knockouts, eleven were submission victories.

In the clip, UFC’s 2022 Hall of Fame inductee discusses hard work vis-a-vis talent. He said, “No, most of the talent people, they are lazy. Most of them. I met a lot of talent people, but they all like, I don’t want to say 100, but 99% they’re lazy.”

He emphasized that talent and hard work are both crucial components of success. If only talent existed without hard work, success would be elusive. However, there needs to be more than talent to overcome obstacles and achieve goals. Hard work provides the persistence, discipline, and determination needed to turn raw talent into mastery. Without hard work, talent may remain undeveloped and underutilized, resulting in missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.

So, it’s essential to have both talent and a strong work ethic. Unfortunately, the world of combat sports is replete with examples where many athletes with natural talent fail to reach their full potential due to a lack of hard work. For example, some fighters may rely solely on their raw athleticism or power. However, a well-rounded opponent who has done the necessary job can easily beat them without proper technique, strategy, and conditioning.
