“Before I got into fighting, I was going to school for accounting, but had transitioned in my mind that I would possibly like to be a math teacher,” he said. “I had done a lot of math tutoring when I was in college, so I figured I would enjoy teaching.”
Math? No one likes math.
“That’s why it’s good for me,” he laughs. “A lot of people don’t like math, so there’s gonna be a lot of openings.”
True, but at the moment, this fighting stuff is going just fine for “Juicy J,” who is in a lot different place today than he was a year ago. And while he doesn’t want to look past this weekend’s meeting with Choi, he’s not focusing on the past, either.
“I’ve harnessed a little bit of consistency my last three fights and I just want to keep that momentum alive and just keep going in there with the same mind state,” Erosa said. “I know where I need to be mentally leading up into the fight so I can perform where I need to perform. If I can just hold on to that, no matter what happens in the cage, I know I’ll be able to perform to my fullest capacity while I’m in there.
“Believe in yourself, go in there prepared to go a hundred percent and I think you can be a dangerous person.”
