Andrej Kalasnik, a welterweight fighter, shares how his mentality shift towards enjoying MMA has positively influenced his performance. Preparing for a fight against Mate Kertesz, Kalasnik reveals that the birth of his son has made him approach fights with less pressure. Previously, he focused on securing wins rather than enjoying the process, which sometimes led to unexciting performances. Now, he aims to be entertaining in the ring, recognizing that MMA also involves show business. Positive fan feedback indicates his entertaining approach is resonating well as he seeks a title shot.
I started to enjoy more, MMA. Even when I had a seven fight win streak, I was like, 'I cannot lose,' and my fights sometimes were boring.
This is the most important thing for me. MMA is a sport, but it's show business. At the end of the day, you need to put on some show.
I see it from the fans or I see it from the internet that they like me more, so I'm grateful for this.
After my son was born, I don't take things so serious, and it's better for me.
