I Always Get Nervous Before A Fight

It's a mystery to me why would be emotionally invested in UFC fights and feel nervous. It's not like I'm stepping into the ring myself and I didn't put so much money on the results.

    fighting taps into a primitive part of our brain. kinda like how we get aroused if we see porn even if we're not planning on having sex ourselves, or how we may feel the desire to eat after we smell food we like even if we're not particularly hungry. the sympathetic nervous system's flight-or-fight response is one of those deep-rooted things that tends to kick in when it feels it should. our rational brain is telling us that this is simply a contest on tv, no harm will be done to us, but what ur describing originates from a deeper place.

      That makes sense. I feel less nervous now, after earning some money from it.
