For any true fighter to achieve greatness, they must be willing to to look at themselves critically and admit when they are wrong. 

I was wrong about Pierre. 

I thought that focusing on dreams would only weaken a person as they have to be firmly grounded in reality.

Subsequent to my previous post when I stated, based on interviews, that Pierre was focusing on his legacy and not on his opponent, I saw additional interviews where beating Penn was stated explicitly as a goal by the now undisputed champ.

So I still maintain one must be focused on the immediate task at hand but as it turns out…

dreams of greatness in addition to a practical perspective might not hurt ones goals that much.

In fact, it could be the very thing that separates the great from the legendary.
