Alas, he showed up and the manager who does the interviews was not there. How disappointing! But he did get to make a good first impression on the people who were there, so they will likely pass on the info about what he looked like when he came in, his mannerisms, and such to the boss who does the hiring. Keep your prayer hats on, people, the fight isn’t over yet!

I have pretty much finished my husband’s professional fighter website. It’s very perdy. Go check it out!

For my husband’s fight, I customized his outfit. The one in the picture in the previous post is pre-customization. It looked really good with the patches on it. Next time he is supposed to fight (next month) I want to have a few customized t shirts, that I make myself (of course) with our last name on it. If I could get a patch made up with his copyrighted King Bull symbol, I would. I am going to be working on his website today. It will be at willietorres.com if all goes well. Every fighter needs their own webspace, even if it’s a myspace page.

Well after all the preparation and waiting, my husband did NOT get to fight after all. Why? Well everyone ran scared. 3 people were interested, 2 of them backed out sight unseen. The last one saw him and was too scared to fight. Can you believe that? This innocent man couldn’t POSSIBLY look THAT intimidating, right? His reputation for not being submitted or easily put into any type of move couldn’t have proceeded him THAT quickly, right? Now his teacher says we might have to go out of state to find him an opponent. GEEZ!!! Come to find out, the last guy has fought him in class before so he already knew he was doomed to lose. He submitted that guy in like 30 seconds, so I guess the guy didn’t want any more of that. I remember the day that guy came to class. He looked like a novice. I want someone more challenging…a worthy opponent… or he will never be satisfied.

Today we finish shopping for all the things my fighter will need for his battle. Last night we got his underarmour. Today I get to customize that with the patches I bought for just this moment.

So it’s official. My husband is fighting this Saturday in Smyrna Delaware. It will be his first ever amateur Mixed Martial Arts battle. He does have black belts in other arts, but this is the first time using them all in the big arena. There is a cage, referees, and pricey tickets. I have to video the entire thing. I am scared for the other person. My husband is chomping at the bit to get in there and battle already. I am already in awe of his ability just in training. I can just imagine how much more skilled he will look in the ring.
