Episode 02: The Heart of a Fighter with Dennis Bermudez
Always Level Up: A show about overcoming failure, perseverance, and sports. All successful people overcome failure. Athletes, celebrities, and the common person all deal with the rollercoaster of up and downs in their lives. Always level Up is an attempt to to highlight that element of life. To show that the successful, talented, and famous, are simply human.
Overcoming failure is no easy task, but all successful people have to go through it to get to the top. Typically when a person hits a level of success, people very rarely discuss the road of failures or struggles that took them to get there. On this episode of Always Level Level up, Yariv Wolok welcomes former UFC professional fighter Dennis Bermudez.
The heart of a fighter should never be measured by how many fights he’s won, but how many fight’s he’s been able to continue to fight. After an official 17-9 record in the UFC, Dennis Bermudez decided to hang up his gear in 2019 after winning his final fight. Over Dennis’ career he had man ups and downs that lead to him making the highest level of competition. Without ever having any of the recognition as the other division 1 athletes, Dennis made sure to work for every inch he’s been given. To fight for every opportunity. In my opinion this relates a lot the heart of a hockey player. The ability to ratchet up the intensity, to fight for every inch, and to mentally prepare for battle. Hockey’s roots have always leveraged violence and intensity. It has its bullies, its brawlers, and fighters. At heart of any fighter is the will to fight.
