Whats your pre fight ritual?

Hi all, hope your well.

So the other day i was speaking to someone the other day about the day of a fight and the feelings you get and what you do to relax and what you do for luck, this came up at work

Got me thinking and i realised that people do random things that to them is for comfort and luck!

So my question is what do you do on every fight day?

I will go first just to set the mood

Day of the fight i will always wake up, have a quick prep for later... things like todays the day, ready for it, going in there to win ect.
After the weigh in i get changed straight away, then shove my ipod in and sit around in my own world watching bouts.
Before the fight i will take off my saint christopher, give it a kiss and put it in my gumsheild box and as soon as my music comes on i bring my gloves together and give them a kiss, after that away i go to do my job

Curiosity has the better of me so post in as much detail as needed you pre fight rituals and lets see how many similarities and differences we can find between us.

1/2-1 hr before every fight, I find myself a nice clean bathroom (usually having to leave the venue) and have a massive poop.

The night before, I would always go to a movie.....You know how hard it is to get to sleep. On fight day, I would like to take a short walk somewhere. and just sit and watch the people. I always got to the gym early so I could get ready, get my mind focused, and not feel I was in a rush. Yes, I was nervous, scared, worried.....just the same as the guy I would be fighting. Knowing this helped me keep my confidence up and at some point, my mind would click on to wanting to get in the ring ,and prove myself.
