On February 12, 2011, Joe Lozito’s quiet morning subway ride suddenly became a nightmare, as a knife-wielding stranger rushed him saying, ”You’re gonna die, you’re gonna die.” As Joe tells the Spaniard in this talk, ”Getting stabbed seven times wasn’t the worst part of the day. First it was a physical altercation, then it was a psychological altercation.” Joe survived, barely, due to his instincts, thinking and devotion to his family, his Fighter’s Mindset revealed by horror. Joe credits his long, close following of the UFC as preparing him for this desperate day. Later, he was on hand for the peak of The Spaniard’s fight career, and the two formed a friendship based on intimate knowledge of fighting—for sport, for survival, and to gain the most from life.
