Then I have lunch, rest for a little bit and go back to the gym. From 3pm to pm I have one training session, and then another one from 6pm to 7pm.

So, every time I got called for a fight, I was already training. This year has been a great learning experience, to make me understand that I can't stop training, and I hope to do the same next year. Maybe I don't get to have five fights in the year, but I hope to have the opportunity to get at least three fights next year.
