Friday night's fights proved to be awesome. All of the fights were great though there was one that I though was stopped too early and caused a great uproar towards the referee who called a TKO when the fighter was still standing and fighting back. I encourage peopel to go see a fight when they can, the experience is like nothing you've probably felt before, the lights, the music, the action. For those of you who enjoy going to clubs, an arena has a greater feel and the after party at the club is better than any regular night at any club. Especially if your teamate won. To see more results go to the Cage Door.
So let me tell you that Elite is now home to the Legacy Fighting Lightweight Champion, Ray Blodgett, one of my instructors, who continues to be undefeated in his profesional career. His fight was great, it lasted all five rounds and Ray won by unanimous decision for dominating most of the fight, with a broken nose! If that's not tough then I don't know what is. After suffering a broken nose, Ray kept on fighting and won the title, thoguh I haven't been able to talk to him since, maybe this weekend.
My tournament on the other hand didn't go so hot, I did fine against other teenagers, getting eliminated in the quarter finals, but was whipped by the adults. My compliments to Richard Tran though who ended up winning against all the white belts, teens and adults.

How do you see all of this affecting your project?
ReplyDeleteMy project has to do with introducing people to the fight experience so I might record some events to show the actual atmosphere. Some fighters from my gym will be fighting again on Jan 29 so that might offer the opportunity to film.
