Re: Hunter52
Hey guys! Sorry, I haven't been on in a while....Short story is that I won. The weight cutting sucked! When I got notice of the fight a month before the event, I weighed 232 pounds, and had to cut to 185! I got to within 8-9 pounds before I could absolutely not lose a single more pound. My opponent agreed to the fight anyways, only after sending me back to the sauna to lose another pound and a half to get under 10 pounds.
I ended up winning by rear naked choke in the second round. However, I took some punishment in the process. On my first takedown in round 1, I split my head on the cage as we went to the mat. The round finished with a scramble back to our feet when I realized my head was split open and bleeding pretty bad. In round 2, we exchanged on the feet a bit and that's when it happen...BAM! I took a kick square to the face. The kick split my nose across the bridge. I ended up catching his leg and dragging him down. As soon as we hit the mat, I started pouring blood all over the place and realized I didn't have much time to finish it if they were going to stop the fight. After a quick guard pass, and sliding to the mount I punched and elbowed a few times when my opponent rolled over when I sunk in the rear naked choke.
It was a good fight for the crowd, of course the place went nuts when they saw all the blood! I ended up w/ 7 staples on my scalp and 7 stitches across my nose. Of course my opponent's supporters argued that the 8 pounds I had gave me the advantage. I don't really think it did since I was so drained from trying to get the last pounds off. I stopped eating 2 days from the weigh ins and no water 1 day before. I didn't want to win under those circumstances, but it is what it is...a rematch will be awesome if they want one. I'll post any video or pics I get. Thanks for all the help and advice guys!!!
