The path of… destiny
But there is much more to Yemen than fighting. He was 22 years old, but through the microphone and radio without the image, or the feel, of an experienced fighter. The key to this was his environment. Your uncle especially. “I have always learned to train my mind, not just my body. You need to develop the base within yourself so that everything is reflected externally,” Yaman emphasizes.
You have to develop your mind and your base within yourself so that everything is reflected externally.
“He left my first grade when he was 14 and said to us, 'Oh, that's what I did.' I tried YouTube, and when I got home, McGregor came on. And I thought, ‘Wow, this is what you’re going to do for the rest of your life.’ I’m a big believer in destiny, that we all have a path, that it’s inevitable… and it’s long gone. First for the best fighters… but also for the best athletes and businessmen. Adapt your habits to train me as a person and a fighter. It's not enough to be good inside the cage. “You have to be natural… but also know how to sell well,” he analyzes. “Diamonds,” as we explained, last a long time.
It's not enough to be good inside the cage. You have to be natural… but you also have to know how to sell well.
The Basque Lutador has several phrases he doesn't know day after day. “Eu sou inevitável”, first; “Press the diamond's face” later. He backs them up with his work… and his sacrifices. He overcame a serious injury to Joel and met Ilia Topuria, one of his references. He met him at WOW 15, a few days ago. First, at a press conference; later, in Vistalegre. WOW, now the largest MMA promoter in Spain, picked it up and put it on the front page… to the left of “Matador” in the print community. It is destined to be found. Being not completely flat. “Obviously you know that, the best come together like the best, it's inevitable,” he told Marca in May. She obeyed.

You'll have moments of everything… but I know what I have or what I need.
Yaman, who started practicing karate at the age of six, but gave up because he had no “fighting sense”, made his final decision at the age of 18. “At the age of 18 I started to think seriously about myself. Do I want to dedicate myself to isso? I finished my studies with my family and dedicated myself 100% to this. I know it won't be easy. There will be moments of everything… but I know what I have or what I need. At that time he hadn't fought in MMA. But this thought came to my mind and I started chasing it. 'There's no moment where we're indo-beam, yo-a-cho.'
Caminho for UFC
Now, at just 22 years old and 2-0 as a pro, he's headed to the UFC. Or the goal of every MMA fighter. However, despite his now impeccable record, “El Diamante” has already been defeated. He does it like a lover, and he does it every day: “It’s not just about sport, it’s something that can be extrapolated to life. “There are also defeats that occur during training when the mind needs to make more effort and you do not face it. It is necessary to know how to manage only defeats that allow us to accumulate experience and knowledge. Defeat is present, not day after day.”

Some experiences that will certainly help us to enter the sure path.. and will help us in the difficult task of maintaining the aspirations of a country that emerged from the MMA ocean with dozens of fighters. The desire to reach the Olympus, the best league in the world. Not afraid of challenges: “I have no fear of being labeled as a future UFC fighter. My head is like that’s what happened. All you have to do is show the world that.
“No matter what I say, I have a specific path and nothing will change or change my path.”
As Muhammad Ali said: It is important to die. “I know who I am, I know where I'm going, I know where you are… I work day in and day out and I have that confidence. No matter what we say, we have a path mapped out and nothing will change my path,” he concluded… like his opponents. He doesn't mark the data, he doesn't press, but he knows what's going to happen. It's going to be in the UFC. It's a timed task.
