This is a huge fight for me... I have been bustin my ass training and i will be ready. Din is a very tough and very well rounded fighter he has not fought mma in over a year... so i am hoping his return will not be a victorious one... regardless of what happens.. its gonna be a war and i look forward to it...
I will also be in the FFC 8 man 155 Tourney...that will include several young talented fighters as well as a few vetrans.... its gonna be a long night for somebody.. and the winner is gonna be very deserving of the #1 contender to Dave Gardners 155 FFC title..
right now.. it looks like... Short,Guillard,Huerta,Sannon Smith,Daryl Smith, Marck Colangelo.... two spots left i think....
my focus for this will begin Feb 16 for now its on the #8 Ranked 155 in the world.. Din.. hopefully i can ride momentum from a win over him into this tourney.. win or lose i will be ready to GnP on the 5 in MS
I admire and respect Jake Short's attitude, courage, work
ethic, and mind - set. That being said, however, I think Din
will prove to have too many tools and if I, too, had any $ on
this one it would have to be on Din, as long as he doesn' t
take this lightly and comes in in good shape and ready for a
good fight.
Best wishes to both for a good, hard fought battle that both
come away from without any significant injuries.
Jake- Big fan of yours, and big supporter of yours as well. ALso a huge fan of Din. Wish neither of you guys were fighting each other. If I was a betting man though bro I would have to go with Din as well. Hate to say that to ya, because I do admire you as well. Best luck to you and Din. Should be quite a battle.
Fighting tough guys is the only way to get urself known....in all honesty i would fight anyone if the price is right.. lol
I appreciate the kind words from everyone.. i realize i am the underdog... and thats just fine by me... Din has everything to lose in this fight and i have nothing to lose.. there is pretty much no pressure on me while Din... well he is Din Thomas cmon people expect big things from him.....time will tell...
Sounds like a good fight. Din is one of the few fighters I've met in person and he was cool as hell so I have to root for him but huge props to Jake Short for taking a step up in competition.
