Norris stated he stood beside his wife as she underwent labor. Overwhelmed by her pain, he tried to console her, but all was in vain. Hence, the mighty fighter felt feeble and vulnerable. Furthermore, he added, “As I’m looking down at her trying to console her, I felt that the blood draining from my face and I felt myself getting lightheaded…”
He continued, “… and had to go to the bathroom put water on my face.” Even though the U.S. Air Force veteran was trained to tackle stern scenarios, dealing with childbirth stood as an unexpected challenge for him.

As per an interview with CBN, the pro once opened up about a stage fright episode while giving a demonstration in front of 400 spectators. Justifying his terror, he stated it was something he was deprived of in his childhood. Apparently, his single mother brought up Norris. Thus, due to the absence of a fatherly figure, he grew into a shy and non-athletic individual.
“I was able to crack that egg of insecurity that I had carried around for 21 years by doing that. I kept forcing myself to keep doing that, and eventually, I was able to overcome it,” he recounted.
