Timing

                                                                           
As children our parent's taught us many life lessons. We all know, or should know there is a time for everything. A time to talk, a time a time to listen, a time to eat, and a time to sleep, a time to laugh, and a time to cry and ultimately a time to live and a time to die. The lesson of timing is essential and practical. They are applied in everyday living without thought in everyday operations. 
  Last night some of the Universal General MMA, (UGMMA) family and myself were at Buffalo Wild Wings watching UFC 194 Jose Aldo vs Conor McGregor. If your a MMA fan, you also know Aldo was knocked out 13 secs into the first round. I chalk that quick stoppage up to Aldo's timing being off. You see the last time Jose stepped in the cage was Oct 2014. Coner on the other hand has been busy fighting the whole time, he was ready for that fight mentally, physically and timing wise. If your aspire to be a great fighter you must learn the lesson of timing. You must stay busy in the ring, cage or arena that your sport is in. Taking a year and a few months off then coming back to defend your title without first taking a tune up fight or two before hand is being reckless  and irresponsible  with your career. You must stay busy to be competitive in your sport. Food for thought.
