Here is what \u201cThe Mexicutioner\u201d had to say on those subjects:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI felt good at 185-pounds. There is honestly nothing negative that can happen to you, whether in life or in your career, by losing 20-pounds of fat. Sorry but there is not. That\u2019s really all I did. It\u2019s not like I depleted my muscle, or my muscle mass or my strength. I wasn\u2019t weakened by the drop or nothing. If anything it just elevated my performance and my strength, power and athleticism to a whole new level. I probably should have done it earlier in my career (dropped to 185-pounds), but could have, should of, whatever. I just lacked the confidence in my skill set, especially in my wrestling and grappling earlier on in my career. You know, like everybody, I used to do some negative self-talk and stuff. But now I\u2019ve really made some big leaps and bounds in terms of my mental training and I can look at myself and say \u2018You know what Joey, you really are good.\u2019 I\u2019m just having a great time now and I really love this division. I\u2019m just excited to make some noise and make a big push and start making some big money.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Beltran claims that his new \u2018fight mentality\u2019 has opened the flood gates in terms of his potential:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cLike I said, I have made a lot of leaps and bounds in the mental aspect of fighting. I\u2019ve always practiced, I\u2019ve always had technique in the gym but in my earlier fights my self-talk would just be so negative. I\u2019d be like \u2018What the hell am I doing here? Why are you doing this Joey, this guy is going to f*cking kill you!\u2019 Then I would go out there (in the cage) and just freeze. I\u2019d get hit a couple times and then I would just react like we were back in the street and be like \u2018F*ck this, I\u2019m not going to get punked!\u2019 So I would just brawl and it would produce awesome fights, but I was always so mad at myself afterwards like \u2018Why did you do that Joey? Why didn\u2019t you show what you have.\u2019 Even in the last fight where I did great, I still know that I am capable of more. I\u2019m just excited really, I feel like I\u2019m opening the flood gates on these fools now and they are all going to get it! It\u2019s going to be great.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Mexicutioner\u201d had a front row seat for Kendall Grove\u2019s last fight, as he was in the corner of training partner Brandon Halsey, who defeated Grove via fourth-round TKO. Beltran touched on the Halsey vs. Grove fight and what he will have to do to defeat the scrappy Hawaiian on September 25:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThe keys to victory are to just be intelligent, not get out of position, be aware of my extremities at all times, meaning knowing where my arms, my legs and my neck are. I just have to put myself in my zones for success. You know, I have certain keys that I am looking for. I am confident that I can finish this fight anywhere, from any position. From my back, from the top, mount, side-mount, whatever the case may be, I have finishes in my head that I have rehearsed both physically and mentally. I\u2019m just going to go out there be smart, hands up and chin down, get busy, he\u2019s going to give me something and I\u2019m going to take it!\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cObviously with Halsey it was a little different. That\u2019s what makes us such great training partners for each other, is that we are both beasts of a far different color. You know, we are just complete polar opposites of the spectrum in terms of strength, athleticism and what he wants to do and what I want to do. So I mean, did I see a couple things here and there in terms of mistakes Kendall maybe made, I mean yeah. But, he might be more likely to let his hands go and fire off combos against someone who is not an All-American division 1 wrestler. You know what I mean. But, on the other hand, he\u2019s got to worry about someone who is going to be looking to take his head off and not take him down. So, it\u2019s going to be a great fight either way.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As for why fans should tune in September 25, Beltran gave the following response:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cEven if you are a brand new fan to the sport, just tune in to the channel and you will see two big brown guys full of tattoos, one guy will probably have a big shiny red Mohawk, and yeah who\u2019s not going to want to watch that? It\u2019s certainly going to look cool. It\u2019s like we were casted for this fight. Like somebody said we need two ugly guys for a fight, \u2018Go get Kendall Grove and Joey Beltran.\u2019 And if you are an old fan or veteran fan, then you already know exactly why you should watch this fight cause somebody is getting finished. There is going to be blood, maybe some broken bones, you know something bad is going to happen. I also just want to give a quick thanks to all my coaches and teammates at both Alliance MMA as well as Huntington Beach Ultimate. It\u2019s been a group effort and I can\u2019t wait to put it all on display September 25!
