The Mindset of Khalil Rountree Will Change Your Life

[@PsychologyOfTheFight]

Hey guys, this is the first part of a series! The next video is on Ilia Topuria, can you guess what it's about?

[@Nonehelloworld]

Ilia Topuria is STOIC and Relentless 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@bcbran8130]

His confidence and self belief and how this programmed his mind to think and act as a world champion, until he became one last Saturday.

[@planeschris8330]

Love your videos they really help me

[@bingbing6372]

Visualization 💥

[@oliveirasingson7592]

The power of manifestations n confidence

[@thegdt37]

Who is here after his incredible fight against poatan?

[@SourClout]

Me i was inspired when i saw his king of knockouts video on ufc yt channel and watched his interviews

[@PredoiMario]

Brother your videos are absolutley amazing! I NEVER leave comments on KZbin, but your channel is soooo underrated. Keep smashing IT!

[@PsychologyOfTheFight]

Thank you so much brother! Means way more than you know, comments like this motivate me to keep going

[@AndrianosTheGreek]

2:12 The pain of staying the same became greater than the pain of change, so he changed.

[@chrisvalliere7263]

❤❤❤❤

[@faceman7966]

He's slowly becoming my favorite fighter

[@thenoobreturnz8968]

may not be your favorite but he is what the average person was and who hardwork changes into

[@medonja88]

Really, really slowly

[@krissifadwa]

The way this guy fights; it is like he is fighting himself and all of the pain he's been through. It's almost like there's no opponent.

[@ItsEzraRoan]

Khalil is the only fighter that kicks grounded opponents, love watching his fights

[@crazylegsirl1845]

And yet has the IQ to avoid the grounded head kick

[@realrobh]

*Legally

[@89mok1]

No, he kick the SHIT out of grounded opponents 😂😂

[@bendover4098]

if u watch closely he kicks their body when they are grounded which is legal, it’s illegal to kick a grounded opponent in the face/head when he is grounded

[@ItsEzraRoan]

@@bendover4098 illegal or not, kicking grounded opponents are dope

[@ringside_chronicles]

It's crazy how Alex Pereira came from a very similar background as Khalil and now they are going to fight each other...

[@catchinxbodiezz9299]

Its not suprising they climbed and sooner or later they will meet at the top

[@daniel_q40]

There's a clip of Khalil training in Thailand, with Samart and Dieselnoi (considered the two truly GOATs of Muay Thai) looking at his kick technique nodding and smiling because it was absolutely perfect. Looking forward to see his with the belt.

[@an7malcap0ne7]

I love khalil rountree! We both fought the same guy gio zavala at tuff n uff amateur MMA! I knew he was gonna be a ⭐ he was fierce and determined

[@leonhousey1690]

The mind is the greatest weapon when it is harnessed proactively and positively.

[@ESM77]

Khalil is definitely going a little under the radar because he doesn’t try to present a character but be real and help people

[@ThatfellowTom95]

So inspiring. Dude became a household favorite the past few years, married to model/muay Thai athlete Mia Kang, all because a health scare made him wake up and it helped me get down to 260 from 300 and I want to get down 30 more lbs by my 30th in may

Self talk is SUPER important. Shad Helmstetter wrote a great book on it called “What to say when you talk to yourself.”

[@PsychologyOfTheFight]

Definitely! This video was inspired by that book!

[@StripMallSensei]

@@PsychologyOfTheFight I’m not known as the most athletic man, but often tell myself when I spar that I am “strong” and “capable.” It does help!

[@chunky3086]

You’re so underrated man. One tip I have is to broaden your videos to other sports it will 100% blow up your channel. I know MMA connects with people but the fan base is way smaller compared to basketball. If you connect with more people throught sports with larger fan bases your channel will blow up

[@PsychologyOfTheFight]

Thank you so much for the kind words and advice! I think you're right, but basketball might be a big jump. Haha I don't really know the first thing about basketball to be honest.. But I think expanding to boxing, jiu jitsu, and other combat sports would be a step in the right direction and then maybe it evolves into something else. Appreciate the thought!

[@jonasbenoit798]

Thank you! What an amazing video!

[@PsychologyOfTheFight]

You're welcome! Thank you for the kind words!

[@williamseipp9691]

If stage 3 is akin to mistaking yourself for the person you were in the past, stage 4 is about accepting who you are in the present but also one more thing: that you already are who you will be in the future. A big part of stage 4 is recognizing that you are already the type of person who will for sure accomplish the goals you set out to do. Just as child imagines an animal and sculpts playdoh to look like it, if you can imagine your future goal + your future self you won't get so bogged down with the limitations of the present. That's the point of visualization; to imagine the future so clearly so as to be able to will it into being. Human beings are creative; everything you see around you aside from nature was someone's imagination at some point. So imagine yourself as having everything you've ever wanted and work backwards from there.

I would disagree with lvl 3 and 4. There is nothing wrong with remembering who you used to be. It keeps you humble. That humble attitude is incredibly respectable and keeps you diligent - to be able to hold a new identity while staying humble.

[@georgeorwelltheman]

One of your best videos yet! JD keeps getting better - so excited for the one on Topuria I knew you’d zero in on his psychology. One question - do you think getting from level 3 to level 4 self talk and embracing your new/idolized identity is simply about speaking it into existence enough times? Like brainwashing yourself? Or is there something more to it. This reminds me of a famous broadcast by earl nightingale - the strangest secret! Wonder your thoughts JD, and again what a fantastic video really liked some of the more classical music as well.

[@PsychologyOfTheFight]

Hey Justin, thank you for stopping by and supporting again. Appreciate you a ton! Topuria is legit so interesting, I'm making multiple videos on him, and can't wait to release em. Yes. Just as your beliefs create your thoughts, your thoughts create your beliefs. In my opinion, it's all about repetition and catching yourself when you slip into negative thought patterns. It's called "cognitive restructuring," replacing a negative thought with 3 or more positive ones that you're trying to wire in. In my own life, I found it helpful to catch myself when I would take the action I was trying to program and give myself props. It helped me solidify it with proof. This video was also inspired by a book called "What To Say When You Talk To Yourself," which is a good one if you're a reader. Thank you again my friend, appreciate the support more than you know!
