I’m back at it again with another installment in my blog series although this time there is a different fight to talk about. I will be fighting for the XFC at Music City Mayhem on June 22nd. Scott Holtzman is my opponent and he is a solid fighter.
We will be fighting live on HDNet that night so I hope he and I can give the fans an exciting fight. It’s a little odd that I will be fighting on television in only my second professional fight but I have had this dream for years and to reach this point so soon is awesome.
In case you missed the first entry in my last short-lived blog series, I live and train in Lexington, KY where I grew up. I train at Reaction MMA and I have the best coach and teammates that anyone could ask for. If you are located in the Central KY area and are looking to get in shape, I highly recommend training at our gym. I have spent my entire career training there; I went 7-0 as an amateur and am currently 1-0 as a professional.
At the beginning of my camp, I started working security at a club in Lexington called Trust Lounge. So far it has been great and I have been able to train full time and take advantage of having my days off. If you ever find yourself in Lexington on a weekend and you’re looking for some nightlife, I suggest you come to Trust.
I also suggest that you continue reading my blog series because there will be a new one out each week! I plan on posting video blogs of training, daily life, and whatever else I think people will like to see. I also want to take a minute to thank my sponsors that are supporting me while I get ready for this fight – On Point Athletics, Swole Sports Nutrition, BluegrassMMA, and Lucky’s Auto Sports.

DISCLAIMER: Although I am a professional fighter, I’m still an amateur at blogging. So hang in there with me.
