On this BTB installment, I talked to Javy Ayala who fights Cheick Kongo at Bellator 199 on Saturday, May 12th. On Bowks Talking Bouts #77, I spoke to the Heavyweight competitor about a number of topics including:
Heading into his 9th fight with Bellator and growing alongside the promotion, the different mental processes when fighting guys he's watched for years like Roy Nelson and Sergei Kharitonov (1:17), what scenarios Javy is drilling in the gym ahead of fight night (2:29), how "Eye Candy" learns from his losses and what he learned from the Roy Nelson loss (3:16), the connotations this fight has in relation to the winner potentially sliding into the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix (3:48), Javy's future goals in the Bellator Heavyweight division (4:21), how important time with his wife and kids is to a successful fight camp (5:46), using CBD Oil for recovery after hard training (7:01), The kind of music "Eye Candy" likes to train to in the gym (7:40), using Post Malone for an entrance theme as he walks to the Bellator cage (8:33), and more!
