 |
|
Tomorrow night, sometime between 8pm and 10pm, I will be stepping into the cage to compete in my amateur MMA debut at Rage in the Cage 167. My opponent will be Nathaniel Abril, a wrestler with an MMA record of 3-0 (you can watch his last fight here), and we will be fighting at 175lbs with the Arizona Boxing and MMA Commission's amateur ruleset. Those rules are based on the Unified Rules of MMA, but the rounds will only be 3 minutes long, elbows are not allowed, knees are not allowed to the head or on the ground, and foot stomps are not allowed.
The fights will be streamed live on the internet,, but they didn't make it free so I don't really expect anybody to watch it  . If anybody IS interested in watching it live, I put some information on my blog. I am going to try to get the footage of my fight so I can upload it personally, so if nobody is able to watch it live I still hope to be able to share it in the coming weeks.
Wish me luck!

Good luck sir. I've kept up with the blog and have seen you're putting in a lot of work in preparation for the fight. Let us know how it goes and I think it's safe to say we're all pulling for you.
