Big Tests
At the very least, Brooks realizes that this challenge of testing himself in MMA is the real deal and that he has to be careful.
“What amazes me about anybody who says that I don’t know what’s going to happen on the 10th, and that I’m not prepared for it is — coming from a civilian I can understand it, coming from a fighter no I don’t understand it.”
“Maybe he thinks I’m not sparring. Maybe he thinks I’m not training. I don’t know,” said Brooks. “I’m a fan of his, but yeah, I expect it to be hard. Anything worth doing is hard.”
The switch is indeed a difficult one, but if Brooks has prepared correctly and taken enough time to learn what he needs to learn properly, then he should be alright. Only time will tell.
