Lot of new fighters I've become fans of because of this thread. Excited to follow their careers.
RockTheVote -I'm a lowly 5-3 ammy with most fights on shows so small they don't show up on my online profile, but my partner is a 3-1 pro who has a fan who buys his fight worn gear from him. Pays extra if there's blood on it. Lol. Funniest story for me so far is my opponent driving around this tiny town with my team in my suburban after we fought. Local celebrities. The fans were amazed that we could be friends after fighting.
Holy shit at the fan who buys your partner's used gear.
Good story, man. Thanks for posting.
Any more green namers willing to share? Love reading these stories.
My first fight I get worked over pretty good in the first broken orbital that required surgery came out second didn't get hit dropped him with leg kick then GnP until he was done anyways 2 little boys and their father called me over after I had to check back in with the doctor the boys were so happy I came over and autographed their shirts it was an amazing feeling
Mat Santos cornered me in one of my fights and I got poked in the eye during the first minute and got dominated the rest of the rd cuz I couldn't see. 1st rd score,, 10-8. Towards the end of the first people were screaming for the fight to be stopped but I was defending myself well enough for the ref to let it keep going. I hear Mat's voice say "hey faggot, stop letting him hit you"
In another fight I had it was even through the 3rd and I took a nasty knee right to the balls. It was so bad that I was dry heaving in the cage and had I had some water in my stomach I woulda thrown it up. Mat is commentating and when he sees me dry heaving he yells "put the camera on him, he's gonna puke!"
Also, I took an asswhipping in the fight where Mat called me a fag and got 10-8 the first 2 rds and then ended up winning by TKO in the 3rd. When I was walking up to meet my wife and teammates after some little kid ran up and gave me a hug. It was one of them squeezing as hard as he could kind of hugs too. Made me feel amazing.
