Big news of the day: I'm fighting again on November 24 here in Vancouver! As with my debut fight, it will take place in Battlefield Fight League at the Vogue on Granville Street. The fight will be the first 125 lb fight in BFL history!
The fight is at 125 because my opponent's team does not want him to fight above that weight; they felt that last time out he lost because he was facing a much larger opponent (could be true because he weighed in at 132 while his opponent cut to make 140). The cut to 125 will not be fun -- I weighed in at 138 this morning with 20 days to go -- but it'll be nice to be the bigger man in the cage for the first time ever.
Other than that I don't know much about him. I just hope he's tough and he's ready. I want a tough opponent because I am feeling sharp, on-point, and in great shape. I'm injury-free at this moment (knock wood) and feeling great. I've got four teammates also in action on this card and another 5 or 6 fighting the week after, so we've been pushing one another very hard in training camp. I'm totally raring to go and I've had a big smile on my face since I got the news.
I will sort out tickets soon for everyone who wants them; you can let me know for now and I'll put you on the list.
is this an amateur or pro fight?
ReplyDeleteAmateur, just like everything in Vancouver proper. No knees to the head and 3x3 rounds.
DeleteI guess your pro fight in the HK doesn't affect your amateur status?
DeleteGL!
I have to petition the BC MMA association to be able to fight amateur but it's unlikely to be a problem. They've had guys with way more fights than me fight pro and subsequently amateur so it'd be kind of a disaster if they didn't let me.
DeleteTrain hard and good luck!
