In the second round, I fully arrived in the fight. After the first couple of seconds, I was becoming more and more confident. I had trouble checking kicks in all of my training sessions, but here my animalistic instincts kicked in, and I was seeing so much more than usual. My vision was super crisp, and I understood my opponent.

But then something scary happened… I lost my sight for a couple of seconds. This was a wild experience. A lot of people talk about it in movies or interviews, but when it happened to me, my body switched into fight mode and tapped even deeper into the primal urge to survive.
