📘 Because I Can Lose
That's Why I Prepare with No Regret

"I am not invincible. Quite the contrary.
I feel that I'm beatable, and that's why I work so hard.
I put so much dedication.

And that's why I do the work that I do —
because I don't want to leave anything out there.
The work is so well done that I feel there's no doubt left.

And that's why I celebrate things the night before —
because I feel the victory is built
and should be celebrated at the end of camp.

Because I would not live with myself
if I didn't put all the hard work out there.

So I feel that that's what happens.
I put so much hard work,
and I deserve it."

— Ilia Topuria, UFC 317 Post-Fight Press Conference

"True Victory Lies in the Process"

I believe the process matters more than the outcome.
If you gave your all along the way, you've already won in a meaningful sense.
On the other hand, even if the result looks like a success,
if you didn’t give your best during the process,
then it’s merely a victory on the surface — but in truth, it may be a defeat.
