Run Chickens, RUN!!!

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.


Gearing up

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.

I don’t know about you, but I surely wouldn’t want to see this guy standing across the ring from me.


Let’s get it on!

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.
