We all get inspired by different things, some it maybe listening to Mozart, others the art of Vincent van Gogh, maybe even a favorite teacher or coach have inspired you to do better, but have you ever looked past some of the drama some people post on Facebook to see what some of the MMA Fighters in our area write? If you do kudos to you, but if you haven’t we are going to add just a couple of quotes found on Facebook from some of our family in the past 24 hours.
A lot of people ask me what it’s like to fight in the cage, I figure I’d answer everybody’s question in one shot imagine a rocky movie, a real life Cinderella man story being lived out by you.. You’re in the locker room, every thought in the world is running through your head if it’s your first fight, you’re waiting for your moment as the time starts to wind down your hands get taped up the gloves go on and you start getting warmed up, you hear the crowd cheering above you, you know you’re the next one up your heart starts pumping as you go up to the main stage you see the fans in attendance, the lights then you hear your music.. you take that walk down to the cage and then you realize, THIS is reason you’ve trained for you’re checked for what you need to have before you go into battle, then you walk up those stairs the announcer calls out both of your names for everyone to hear, the cage doors shut behind you.. you see your opponent standing across from you then every doubt, every fear, every stress, worry goes out the window the referee brings you in tells you what’s expected nothing more, nothing less then you’re back to your corners.. you hear the following “fighter are you ready?” “Fight!” and in your mind you already have the answer..so what you feel next is surprising.. freedom.
Certain things in life are similar to band aids; they served their purpose, no longer serve us but know its gonna sting taking it off.
At the end of the day though you just have to rip it off and get it over with.
Day 10 of self-rehab. Back to recovery. It’s amazing to think that 10 days ago it was hard to walk and talk, to being back in the gym. Next week preparing for my fight in Binghamton on April 26th. Still have 3 weeks of recovery. Thank you to everyone who followed my progress. The Beast is back. And big news about my personal training classes coming soon. Good luck to all my guys competing Friday in Utica. I’ll be there to support so stop by and have a good time.
Mid February I was about 165. Using the diet I created I am now down to 147. 135 is getting closer and closer. I also should mention all of my lifts have gone up significantly (thanks Matt phelps). 135 here I come!

Now we could go on and on with new gyms coming together, new fight teams forming, but we would be here all day so what is my point already?! Glad you asked. If this sport is so bad that New York State and its law makers feel it is so terrible and harmful to our state, would these words be coming out of the fighters, trainers, gyms, promoters, match makers and events, mouths in our area? All I ask is to take a look for yourself, make a new friend and find some of the inspiration that comes via Facebook from our MMA family in our area.
