Mental Break Down of Ramon Taveras
Being a fighter means being mentally prepared for every situation. It is necessary to have physical capabilities to over obstacles and dominate your opponent but it becomes very hard for a fighter to have higher physical capabilities if is going through mental problems like depression. A Fighter who is suffering from depression, anxiety, or such a problem, cannot compete against such a powerful opponent. Especially opponents like Caolan Loughran, who has lost a single fight in his nine fights.
But as a great achievement for Ramon, he was suffering from depression and he overcame his mental illness. He not only fought his illness but also trained well in the gym and he transformed into the best version of himself that he has ever been. “I worked my way out of depression and into getting in the best shape I’ve been in,” Ramon Taveras wrote.

He clarified about his training in the following words “I stayed disciplined and got myself out of being fat (176) and mentally fu*ked. … But I promise to keep this same mentality during my recovery and become the best version of myself through this recovery process.”
He clarified to his fans that he will be the best version of himself when he comes back and will not them down, as they deserve the best version of him.
