Joel Álvarez, known as Joel El Fenómeno, joins us in this episode of En Modo Avión from his lifelong gym, C.D. Tíbet in Gijón, to reflect on his journey from childhood to becoming an elite UFC fighter. We dive into what lies behind professional MMA: the physical and mental cost of competing at the highest level, the extreme weight-cutting demands, and the balance between the brutality of the sport and fighter safety. We also explore how he manages fear before each fight, how his mindset has evolved over the years, and whether it is possible to live with the constant risks of this sport while maintaining the passion to keep competing.
