Ep 14 | Haydn Dinsdale - MMA, UFC, What Drives People to Get Into The Cage and Fight
My main focus for this podcast was to learn about what drives people to get into a cage and hurt people for fitness, fun and in some cases money.
I’ve always found it weird that people want to get into a ring to hurt people and with the possibility of being hurt themselves. I have spoken to a few people about the Fighting and the UFC before and it’s always sounded like a lot of Ego, toxic Masculinity and Self hatred that drives people to get into a ring, or cage.
I wanted to talk to someone who was a conscious individual and Emotionally intelligent. So I Decided Haydn would be a great guy to talk to.
We chat about where Haydn’s passion for MMA came from and how he grew up on Jackie Chan Movies and his dad watching fights on the TV.
He then dives into what motivates people to get into the cage and that being the challenges mentally and physically of doing it, moving their body, the adrenaline rush and over coming adversity.
I also wondered why people like to watch the UFC to just watch people getting their faces smashed in and although Haydn doesn’t get into the ring himself, he loves to watch it as he can appreciate the technicalities of it and great technique of the athletes.
He explains that once you know the subtle mechanics of it and the strategies of what’s involved in having great technique and then the potential for comebacks and over coming adversity, that’s where the entertainment as a viewer comes from.
The conversations then leads into Aggression and how it can be constructive and destructive and utilised correctly it can be very beneficial for overcoming hard things in life.
We finish off by chatting about the shadow self and how we all have an aggressive side to us and the ability to be violent, we just haven’t met those parts of us.
