Niko Vitale is also fighting and Cabbage is bangin as well. The whole card looks exciting, and get this; XMA....2 matches...strictly standup fights with MMA gloves!!! That oughtta be a crowdpleaser! The next X1 will be held in our very own New Mexico.... ....off to the weigh ins boys and girls...holla atchya later.
So much going on here in stank ass LA. Three guys from Legends MMA, where I train and Coach, are fighting tonight. In a city of vapidness, training is the saving grace. First off his Mac Danzig, former King Of The Cage Lightweight Champion, and current Pride fighter. Makes fighting one of the illest of the weightclass. It is a great test and should be tremendously exciting. It's amazing to watch Mac fight...all that power and tenacity AND he is a vegan. Conor Heun and Toby Grear are both tough, upcoming lightweights. They fight in Santa Monica. Conor is mostly a wrestler and Jiu Jits fighter and Toby is a badass Muay Thai fighter with pretty decent ground as well. They are both ALL FIRE. I'm so excited to watch their fights tonight. Yesterday I got the itch so bad it got me thinking about fighting a few more times!! After I watch Conor and Toby tonight....fuck it...I'm driving back to New Mexico to train for a bit!!
We got a strong group of scrappers together to compete this Saturday. I expect everyone from 10th Planet/Legends to do very well. It will be my first competition since The Ultimate Fighter. Im really excited for the heat of it. It sharpens my mind and spiritual outlook soooo much each time I compete, and it's been far too long. I also look forward to seeing all my niggas from NuevoMexico....form UNDISPUTED, GREG JACKSONS and even some of the old schoolers from SFBJJ. I will post a full report Sunday with pics. No excuses. Now go do something uncommon....and be polite about it!
Hey...Can't wait for more up-dates!! I'm EXCITED for you!!
Shine On...xoxo
