The clock is ticking closer to my fight, and I am getting very excited!! For those who aren’t sure who I am, let me introduce myself. Hello, I’m “Little” Patricia Vidonic, I am a professional mixed martial arts fighter, wife and mom.

I fight very regularly and enjoy sharing my journeys leading up to and after each fight. My blogs describe how I prepare, where I’m training, who I’m fighting, the results, and even the daily trials of being a wife, mom and woman in a male dominate sport.

I always include a video and pictures at the bottom, so don’t forget to check them out too!! I have been training and fighting for a little over 2 ½ years, without any previous boxing, wrestling or martial arts experience.

I was 4-1 as an amateur MMA fighter, holding three titles at three separate promotions at two different weights. I went pro July 2010, I lost my pro debut to a much more experienced fighter, (by decision) Valerie Coolbaugh.

I gained a lot from that fight, (as I do any fight) and have come back better and stronger, winning every fight since.

I am in Billings, Mont., at the Grinder’s Grindhouse. I have a fight Oct. 1st in Fletcher, N.C. at the Western North Carolina Agricultural Center. This is a BlackEye Promotion, the Breast Cancer Beatdown. Check out their website (http://blackeyepromotions.com/) for ticket info, and where to watch it if you cannot get to North Carolina!!

My opponent is Avery Vilche, I know she is a true gamer, and tough chick. I give her props, she is always willing to step into the cage with a challenging opponent.

A portion of the proceeds and donations go to It Ain’t Chemo, a non-profit organization that directly supplies cancer patients with comfort items, advice and emotional support. Their ultimate goal for It Ain’t Chemo™ is to have a network of people who would assist in distributing IAC™ Packs to cancer patients at treatment centers nationwide.

I am doing a fundraiser for this fight, selling pink breast cancer ribbons that will be printed on my walk out T-shirt for $100 each and 50% of that is going directly to It Ain’t Chemo. The Paypal account is [email protected].

Also, everyone who purchased a ribbon will be put into a drawing for my walk out T-shirt signed!! Please spread the word and donate to a wonderful cause!!

I’ve been really working my butt off. I am always trying to better myself in my game wherever possible. I train with my elevation mask six days a week. The thing is amazing! I haven’t used the easiest O2 restrictor (yellow) since the first day I used it.

Now it’s all medium and difficult (orange and red). I can’t wait to feel my lung power in N.C.!

Friday night our friend Mike “The Mean Bean” Lopez, who represented the Grinder’s Grindhouse, won his first title belt ~ Way to go!!! Saturday was my two-year wedding anniversary, it was nice to spend it together, since last year I was filming that reality show, Ultimate Women Challenge.

I actually didn’t train that day, when we went to the gym, Jason said “no way”! LOL We had a fun afternoon with some friends from the gym celebrating their son’s first birthday!! Marky went to hang out with some friends from the gym and their kids. So we had a kid-free night… The next day I was back in the gym doing my thing, and have been since, even on Labor Day.

I am 3 ½ weeks out from my fight, I’m feeling better than I ever have before. I have lots of support, training partners, my family and friends. I am so grateful to thank my awesome husband for all the time he has put into my career as well; teaching me, encouraging me, pushing me and putting up with me ~ Thanks.

I want to thank Jack Bratcher and www.ProMMANow.com and all of you for following my blog. Also check me out on my Facebook Fan Page.

I want to thank my sponsors: Super Body Care ~ Damage Control Mouthguards ~ Failure’s No OptionLevel Terrain Apparel.

I have room for a few more sponsors, if you are interested, please contact us to discuss how I can promote your company. Contact me at [email protected].

Thanks again!!
Little Patricia
