Well, the fight came and went, and it was everything I could’ve hpped it would be. Like any journey, it brought lessons learned. Here’s a few of the standouts.

Fighters have an exceptionally difficult job, and not limited to the cage. Handling tickets, handling life bills, getting to their training, and constant changes of opponents and fight dates just a few. I knew it was hard, now know how hard.

Good promotions matter, and all are not equal. A quality promotion will look the part and do the little things for you. Like bend over backwards to make sure you fight. From communication to venue to little perks like providing tape/gause and a promotion shirt are not a given, but were with @chosenfewfc. My friends new to #MMA were wowed by the production.

After two years, I finally found a bit of peace. It’s wild that it took fighting in a cage, in front of a loud crowd, to find it. The mental work I did worked and I was completely calm, yet ready; more so than any other time I competed. That pre-fight calm was peace. For a few minutes, nothing else mattered.

When you do things right, and for the right reasons, the outcome is secondary. It was a loss, but hardly felt like it.

Lastly, it’s not about who matters to you; if’s who you matter to. After two years of lies, constant random attacks on my character by jaded people and those they pay to #alienate your child further, I got a healthy doae of reninders that the sycophants are wrong. I love the support I got, and estimate about 70 people were there for me. It was truly appreciated, more than anyone knows.

The rest…you can listen to here, as I recounted my #fight experience on KTFO on @colorcastapp .
