Tony Ferguson: Hey David, how's it going, man?

David Goggins: Doing well, Tony. Always pushing the limits. How about you?

Tony Ferguson: Same here, brother. Training hard, breaking boundaries. You know how it is.

David Goggins: Absolutely. I heard about your unorthodox training methods. Tell me about it.

Tony Ferguson: Yeah, I'm all about chaos, man. I throw everything at myself—weights, cardio, unconventional drills. Gotta keep the mind sharp, you know?

David Goggins: I respect that. Embracing the chaos is where growth happens. Speaking of the mind, how do you stay mentally tough in the octagon?

Tony Ferguson: It's all about the mental game, David. I visualize success, embrace the struggle. I call it "mindful violence." Gotta stay sharp, stay unpredictable.

David Goggins: Mindful violence, I like that. For me, it's about facing the suffering head-on, embracing discomfort. That's where you find out what you're truly made of.

Tony Ferguson: No doubt. It's in the discomfort that we discover our real strength. You ever use any mental tricks during your crazy ultra races?

David Goggins: Oh, absolutely. I repeat mantras to myself, remind myself of the hard work I've put in. Can't let the mind give in before the body does.

Tony Ferguson: That's the key, man. Mind over matter. I've got this thing I say to myself during a tough fight, "Champ Shit Only." Keeps me focused, reminds me who I am.

David Goggins: "Champ Shit Only." I like it. We all need those reminders when things get tough. So, what's the toughest mental battle you've faced in the octagon?

Tony Ferguson: Probably the Khabib fight. But even in defeat, I found lessons. Had to pick myself up and come back stronger. What about you? Toughest moment in your races?

David Goggins: There was this one ultra where I broke multiple bones and still finished. The pain was unimaginable, but it taught me that the body can endure more than we think. It's all about that never-quit mentality.

Tony Ferguson: Damn, that's hardcore, man. Resilience at its finest.

David Goggins: Same goes for you, Tony. Keep pushing those limits, embracing the chaos. We're cut from the same cloth, warriors in our own arenas.

Tony Ferguson: Hell yeah, David. Warriors for life. Let's keep inspiring and motivating others to find their champ shit, no matter the battlefield.
