It’s a big relief, Duffee told the Sherdog Radio Network’s Beatdown show. I can actually kind of relax for the fact that all I have to worry about now is training and fighting. I don’t have to be sitting on the phone trying to figure out when can I get a fight.
The big thing, I think, [about] this time away was it hurt my development, Duffee said. I think I could have improved a lot more in the last two years had I not been dealing with some of the situations I had.
I was at the point financially that the efforts I was putting in, it wasn’t paying off, Duffee said. It didn’t make a lot of sense. You start feeling stupid after a certain amount of time, like how delusional am I? But it did pay off, and I’m excited that I’ve got things back on track.
