Many may have seen the article from the New York Post “Case of ‘brawl’ for one” that was published today in their paper (page 7) as well as appearing on their website. Now the article was a plus for allowing the general public know that amateur MMA is here and that it is taking place right on the capitals door step and being brought to us by Cage Wars the premier event in the area. But the author of this article states the following:
But a loophole in the law allows less skilled, less fit and poorly trained amateurs to go mano-a-mano in the “octagon.”
Yes, even though the article on one hand is letting the public in on what is happening on the amateur MMA front, they go onto say this about the fighters that are fighting in our area! Now Warriors Instinct MMA is not calling out the author of the article, but have they interviewed any of the fighters to validate that statement? Do they know that fighters that fight in these events train and cut weight just like the “pros” do? Do they realize that some of these “poorly trained amateurs” will be making their debut in the “pros” in the coming months, fighting out of our area because the sport they love and have trained so hard for is banned in New York State and the only way for them to fight in a “pro fight” is to leave the State and fight in said State, which leads to them going out of State for their fight and returning to NYS or they may just stay were MMA is an acceptable sport.
Now if you have read the article that appeared in the New York Post, the first sentence of the article states:
What a bunch of palookas!
Just in case you are unaware of what palookas means (as I was unsure), we have added what the Merriam-Webster online dictionary has as the definition:
an inexperienced or incompetent boxer
Really, I guess that statement leaves me speechless, we saved that part for the end because we have no more to say about the article.
To wrap this up we at Warriors Instinct MMA ask you politely to reach out to the fighters and see what they do to prepare for an upcoming fight, and how much training they go through. Some of these men and women of amateur MMA have been training for years just to make an appearance in an amateur event such as one of Cage Wars.
