Oct-25-09 - Peterborough Fight Night
So this past Sunday I had the chance to step into the ring with a very well rounded MMA fighter from a Club in Toronto.
We worked very hard to get ready for this fight. Cardio was our main goal as well as diet to ensure making the correct weight.
At 3pm Sunday afternoon we had our weigh-ins and both of us tipped the scales at an even 170lbs.
We were the 6th fight on the 11 card show and when it was our turn…. man was it ever a good throw down.
We went the distance both landing several heavy shots (let me tell you this kid had hands of stone!!!) and when all the dust settled the judges awarded him the victory.
I thought I would be a lot more disappointed, but I gave it all I had that day, I didn’t execute on several things I should have so I now know what to work on going forwards.
I had a great time, an awesome war in the ring, and we are on pace for our next fight on Nov/15/2009.

Much respect to you man for the training and all the discipline it takes to do it right and step into the ring. Sounds like you did learn from the battle and will be more prepared for the next. Keep the focus and keep bustin your butt and good things will happen. Keep us posted too, I would like to keep up with your fights.
