It’s been a long couple of weeks…Let me break it down a little: I fought again, I’m looking for another fight, I started an auction to benefit a local woman here in Billings battling cancer, for the second time, and there was Mom’s Day.
Yes, I said it…I’m looking for a fight, as usual. lol So, I took a short notice fight (like 6 days) in Minot, ND at 125lbs. They had two opponents back out (for whatever reasons) so when they contacted me, my manager made it very clear, who I was and that she still wanted the fight if I was able to fill in. She said yes, so we drove out to North Dakota a few days later. I weighed in at 120.6 and she was 125.4.
I read an interview that she and her coach had done with the local newspaper there in Minot. It rubbed me the wrong way, to say the least; so my coach told me to “cut away from the original game plan and go in there and feed her some of mama red’s humble pie.” So I went in there, did my job and went home.
I also promised him a 1st round finish…You can watch my last two fights on the homepage of my website. It’s all water under the bridge, this is a sport and my job. Here is the interview their local paper did right after the fight.
Once again I am looking for an MMA fight Pro at 115lbs, I am 8-5. My teammate Ryan Ferguson is looking for his pro debut at 145lbs.
A friend at the gym was talking about trying to raise some money for a friend that she grew up with here in Montana battling with cancer, yet again. So, I had confirmed my last fight with JAG, and had Polanti as a sponsor, I told her I wanted to use that to make an auction to donate the money toward her friend.
Her name is Jennifer, she is a single mom of two boys, tries as hard as she can to work part time and go through her new treatments. So, here is the link to the auction, it will go till June 1st. You can bid by going to the link and posting your bid. Jen’s story is also on the page, as well as an anonymous option, by messaging me with your bid.
I am also taking just donations for her if you do not win. The items are: Bellator cornerman’s bucket, Bellator gloves, Red and Blue cornerman’s towels (any of them autographed) as well as a Woman’s Polanti Tulip Watch, never worn, brand new in the box. The current bid is $400, I know that we can do better people!! Thanks.
Yes, Mom’s Day….I have learned to embrace this day over the years. My mom passed away of breast cancer when I was 15, so celebrating wasn’t really on my menu. I have grown up a lot over the years, have truly amazing support, and a happy life. What’s not to enjoy?
So Mark, my 14-year-old son, is very remarkable. He love BMX and is quite talented at it also. He is an honor roll student and earns his own money by working hard for it. What’s not to be proud of, right? He is taking this entrepreneur class, ran by his shop teacher. They have been making benches, welcome signs, bird houses, starting plants etc… He also works at the concession stands during the track meets this spring.
Well, on Saturday (the day before Mothers Day), they had a sale at the school with the items they have been making. Mark and one other boy were there with their teacher; I introduced myself to him, and he had nothing but wonderful things to say about Mark. Said he is his right hand man, and his best student. I never get tired of hearing that!
So we bought his bear welcome sign, an aloe plant, some pepper plants and a tomato plant. For Mothers Day, he brought me home a nice hanging planter pot with pansies and marigolds in it from their sale, along with three cartons of moss roses. I planted those in a rectangular pot and put them on the porch, they are awesome!
We relaxed and ate some lobster at the end of the day! Back to work Monday morning!!
