My second MMA fight results

[Snail Shell]

I WON!
Official decision: Winner by Knockout from an overhead slam at 1:37 of the second round. My MMA record improves to 2-0.

The guy I fought and I ended up at the emergency room together afterwards. He was a pretty decent guy. Once we're both healthy again, we're going for drinks. Sounds weird considering we just pounded the crap out of each other.

Okay, now for the bad news...

Aside from the general bumps and bruises I've received and the cut beside my eye (healing nicely), Robbie managed to kick my left knee into Jell-O. It's not broken, but the bone is bruised and it requires some physiotherapy (aside from hurting like hell). Anna (my physiotherapist) has heard out my story and has cut me a deal. Limping and pain aside, she has said that if I can walk without crutches by the time my plane leaves, she'll give me some home workouts to do and I'll be able to attend NEST. If not, I'll have to stay in Toronto for more physio and I'll miss NEST. .

Nonetheless, I remain optimistic that I'll be there. Your thoughts, wishes, prayers, etc. for a speedy recovery are always appreciated.

Here's hoping to see you all in Philly!

Congrats on the win, i have some experience in combat sports and know it isnt an easy feeling when you know youre gonna get the hell knocked outta you. But congrats and know that the pain will go away.

 

[Snail Shell]

Thanks so much guys. It really means a lot. :happy:

And yeah, it is pretty cool that we're going out for drinks afterwards Karen. Almost makes me sorry we fought. It's like I've always said, if you take away my whole exterior, I'm a pretty decent guy.

Yo well done SS. Im entering MMA when ive finished all my training. Might see you in UFC if ya go for there and if i make it

By The Way: are you training in any camps (like milatich) or are you just training in random clubs ?

Good luck with the knee aswell ive had stuff like that but to my ankle and it hurts like a mofo lol

 

[Snail Shell]

Thanks man. And no, no camp for me. I wrestled throughout school and take my training and trainers on a fight-by-fight basis. I'm not nearly dedicated enough to fighting to look into an A-level camp.

Take 'er easy!

y0 Snail, good job with that. I use to do the backyard wrestling gig until I fell :Cough cough.: Jumped. :Cough cough: off a two story house and went through the trampoline. xD I was actually looking to get back into Boxing. But on another note, how did you get into the MMA fighting?

 

[Partyboy1]

Yo snail good to here that you only take it as a sorta pass time thing thtas probably best because as you know you end up riddled with injuries.

What style do you train in anyway man ? Is it just the one or have you mixed it up a bit ? And yeah i said im entering MMA but i dont know how to and forgot to ask you before how you entered into it ? lol silly me.

 

[Snail Shell]

Actually, I got into MMA by accident.

I've been wrestling since junior high (grade 8) and competed through university. Submission holds just came naturally to me. The end of university, I found a dojo and decided to workout there for a week instead of weightlifting and stuff. The end of the week, the trainer offered me that week and another week for free ($800 value) to get into the cage. The guy I was scheduled to fight was trained as a boxer and I'm a submission wrestler, so the plan was get him down and submit him. Really, I was just in the right place at the right time.

My second fight happened after my first trainer gave my name to another trainer and they gave me a call. Again, really just right place, right time.

If you're looking to get into it, I say tell your trainer that you want to try an amateur fight. Before you sign a fight contract however, make sure there are rules in place in the fight. You don't want to get hit in the spine or throat and end up permanently injured. Remember, fight smart before you fight hard.

Take 'er easy!
