so on the 24th of november, i have signed up to do my very first amateur Mixed Martial Arts fight. i've been training in jiu-jitsu for a year and 9 months now and i've had some minor training in some MMA striking for a couple months.

in one way or another, this has been a dream for me since i was little. i used to watch hulk hogan come down to the ring with his music playing and i was cheering at home or in the crowd. when i got older and realized wrestling was fake, i switched to extreme wrestling, then saw the early UFCs and became an MMA fan. damn, it's come a long way since i was a 5 year old hulkamaniac, but i've learned alot and it's still just as much fun.

i'm fighting in chicopee mass and i have to lose 17lbs to get to 205 for the fight. it'll be alot of work, but i'm gonna be pretty ripped.

i'm ready, i'm ready, i've been telling myself this for a while and getting impatient, but now that it's in the works i'm starting to get a little nervous. that's good though, i don't want to get overconfident. i want to train harder and harder and work on my game plan. i am ready for this...i need to do this... to test myself, to push myself, to take it to the next level, and i need a reminder that life can be fucking amazing if you take some risks once in a while. if i don't do this now i will kick myself over and over again.

if i lose, i lose, i'm not made of glass. but i know i can win.
