Probably the OG?
I almost fought Manny. He chickened out of it. The story behind the whole thing was pretty funny though.
So Iâm sitting around at home in 05 I think. Not really training just rolling around doing some judo once or twice a week. I think it was in June or July. One of my friends from the east coast called me really early one morning, like 6am and weâre just shooting the shit and he mentioned a promotion in Boston needed somebody to fight that weekend from AZ because of a weird set of coincidences. I think Ray Elbe was supposed to fight, but he got kicked in the head and broke his orbital or something. Then another guy from here got hurt, so they needed to fill the spot. I might have some of that mixed up, but it was something like that I think. Anyway I said sure, I have family in Boston and no plans that weekend, so why not get a free trip to go see them. I forgot the promoters name, Bruce maybe? Anyway he called me and we got it sorted out and he said hey youâre going to fight some Brazilian guy whoâs a BJJ black belt. Iâm like hey cool I probably wonât get punched in the face too hard.
So I fly to Utah to get my connection to Boston. I forgot the guy who flew with me, Danny maybe? Anyway he got a call in Utah saying they couldnât find the guy I was supposed to fight and they were going to have Manny Reyes fly up to fight. This was right after Hermes beat him up so I think he was looking for a win to get back on track and he talked a bunch of shit. So I was like, cool, I donât really think Manny can do much on the ground.
We get to Boston and somebody called the hotel to tell me that Manny didnât get on the plane so they were changing my opponent again and asked me to weigh myself. The guy they wanted to replace Manny with was too heavy and the commission wouldnât allow it, so they changed me to fight some other guy. The fight wasnât all that remarkable or great for me. I came out, got a takedown in like 15 seconds, caught some punches and elbows from the bottom and got triangled in about 2 minutes.
After the fights we got our checks and went back to the hotel. One of the guys who I was staying with from AZ, he ordered a bunch of room service and had it billed to the promotion somehow. He also ate a bunch of shrooms and was going on all philosophically until like 4am. We almost missed our flight back which left at like 7-8.
It was a pretty interesting trip.

Hell of a post ^^^
MMA used to be not a mainstream sport at all. Iâm sure that there are tons of stories and experiences like this from when the MMA community was very small and the only way to keep up was this website.
You fought Mexicans two weight classes lower than you
