So now the question is---Will you fight again?

Hello everyone!

Well as you know I fulfilled my goal of fighting an MMA fight on Saturday night July 23rd.  I will say two things about the fight-#1 it was hot hot hot #2 I lost.    No excuses the other guy won fair and square.  I have watched the video a few times today and still not sure what I was doing but I gave the guy a clear shot to my face and he took it.   With his foot.   From what I was told and after watching the video it seems that I would have won the first round but winning a round doesn't mean anything when there are 3 rounds and you don't finish the 2nd round.  I give my congrats to Michael Rivera on a good clean fight. 

Now--the big question--will I fight again?  If I answered that today I could possibly be lying.  What I will say is I am a daddy first and foremost and that is my #1 priority in life.  Secondly I have some very special people in my life who either don't want me to fight again or have even asked me not to.  By MMA standards I am an old man.  This is a young mans sport.  Stepping in that cage Saturday night brought back many memories of walking out on the wrestling mat 20 years ago and reminded me of my competitive spirit however.  Flying airplanes really doesn't give you that feeling.  Skydiving neither.  Fastest beer drinker is still just the fastest beer drinker.  One on one competition is what I was raised on and I love it.  When competing one on one there are no excuses.  You either win or lose and no one else is to blame.  So will you see me fight again---I don't know.  Right now I am going to be a daddy.  I will continue to work out and if the stars align just the right way maybe.  Maybe not.  

So thats the answer I have right now.

Again, I want to thank everyone who helped or pushed me along the way.  I had awesome support from January all the way thru this fight from many family members and friends.  Thanks again to a long time friend Levi Chappell for being in my corner.  Thanks to all of you who paid money to see the fights and again to those who drove in from far away. 

Til the next time,

I'm out
