What have you gotten from MMA?????

Hey all I just was thinking about what I have gotten from being a MMA fighter and what stands out to me the most. I will have to say that I was able to buy my wifes wedding ring with money I won back in 2003 from a tournament I fought in. I lost in the final but in the end I won. Everytime I look at that ring I think about that tournament and how it went down and what I had put into it. My wife will always have that ring and I will always have my memory.

So what have you gotten?

AIDS

3

large cable bills

4

A sense of pride in keeping the sport alive through the dark days and a true feeling of accomplishment in growing a team and watching it blossom into something far greater than myself.

5

Fractured tooth, broken nuckle, separated rib (training), broke cartlige(training), badly scratched retina (eye gouge)

But I got it on tape at least...

I've gotten an area of my mind where I can escape the pressures of everyday living...

without fighting and training, I would be out of my mind...
