So i know most of ya probably don't care...but i'm posting them anyway!!! hehehe.
Me (Robert Patrick), Keith, Bradley, and Ed. AKA: Unashamed Athletics
Praying with my corner
Stretching

Toe-to-Toe
Guillotine (i almost finished him with this, but i only had half guard and couldn't be as efficient as i would have been had i had full guard)
Clapping for Mike after he defeated me via KO
He came out kicking, but he hurt his foot so he stopped throwing the kicks. I will say this though: he did a great job not lettin me catch on and know he was hurt. After a few punches were traded, he went for a take-down, but i countered with a guillotine choke pictured above. However, i only had control of one of his legs (half guard) rather than his body (full guard), so i couldn't use the choke as effectively as i wished to. Plus, just being in a new environment and being zoned out, i didn't really think clearly about how to readjust to finish it from half. He eventually escaped and tried to pound me out, but i fought my way back to my feet.
I was backing him into a corner, but with my lack of experience, i had my gloves pretty low, and he landed a solid blow on my chin that had me seeing triple. I started stepping back, waiting for my sight to go back to normal. However, just as soon as i regained senses, he nailed me with a left hook that put me down. I never went out, but i couldn't see any longer, and i knew i wouldn't be able to get back up, so i put my hand by my head and just waited for the ref to stop it.
I loved it. Save becoming a Christian, it was the coolest thing i've ever experienced! I will definitely be back for more. Hope you enjoyed!
nah, it's amateur. The guy i was fighting has been wrestling since he was 5 and taken BJJ for a few years, and i've only been training since September (and most of that is unorganized stuff in the back yard with buddies cuz i can't afford the gas to drive to a proper facility).
Nah, it was ammy, not pro. But that's cool. I'll get my green name later. And yeah, i know about some of the promotions in LA, so i preciate ya bringin them up. There are a lot of things MMA startin to go down in Alabama. Most aren't sanctioned, though, and i wish they wouldn't happen cuz if sumthin bad (serious injury, or heaven forbid a death) were to happen, it would be bad for alabama MMA. The event i took place in was sanctioned by the ISKA.
But anyways, thanks for the comments guys. It was def. a great learning experience, and it won't be long (just a couple of months) before i'm back in a ring or a cage, i hope.
