Thanks, man. I fight st 145, but this guy was an injury replacement so we fought at 155. He was a big, strong dude for sure. I actually wanted this to be a fight where I showed off my hands more, but as soon as he threw that kick, instinct took over and the rest is history.
Dude that's awesome and means a lot. I hear you about the kid thing. I actually have a son that's 6 years old that I have custody of. I'm a recovering heroin addict, and have been clean for seven years. I got clean and wanted to start fighting because I loved watching it and always wanted to do it. So I switched one addiction to a good one with fighting. Shortly after starting, I found out I had a son from some chick who was still using so I got him and have had him this whole time. He loves coming to the gym with me tho and loves watching me fight so that makes it easier. Turning my life around is also why I have so much support at my fights. Sorry for the wall of texts. I'm currently working and typing this lol
No worries man, no need to be sry for shite. What a story bruv. Heroin is a crippling drug that kills. I am happy to hear you overcame that garbage addiction and turned your addiction into one of the funnest things to do on this planet, fight! Also, I wish you and your son a good life. I hope you hit big so you can show your little man you can come from the very bottom and make it to the top like a King!
I will for sure man. And no need to apologize. Even if I don't make it to one of the big promotions, I've already shown my son no matter how low you get, you can turn your life around and do what you love. He came to my fight before this one and got to get in the cage and put my medal on me and took a picture with me and my coaches. It was one of my favorite moments as a fighter, and dad.
I've been training about five years total. I started as a stand up fighter and just wanted to knock everyone out but then got taken down by a big wrestler and dominated in my 3rd fight so I really started focusing on my ground and now I'm dominating people there and even feel more comfortable there.
I'm a blue belt under Anthony lobato but I'm pretty much purple level. If I spent more time in just jiu jitsu, I would be belted higher. My coach got his black belt from Justin Ellison, who is a black belt under Walt bayless.
