Let’s put this out there ~ I am looking for an MMA fight in April, or somewhere around there. I am 115 lbs, pro record of 7-4, out of Billings Montana. Please spread the word!! Contact me on Facebook or Twitter.
Yes, I know, I said, I would have my diet logged as well this week, however, that is not the case. With the fights this last weekend, traveling, getting ready, cornering… It’s getting done, and you will all love it!
This was the guys’ fight week, so this is a modified version of what I usually do, so glad we are back, because I have been hitting it hard already! I also realized that I left out some of my training by accident in last week’s, so I fully understand everyone’s comments.

Road Trip
We left in the afternoon on Thursday to head up to Great Falls for the fights on Saturday night. Jason and Ferg were both scheduled to fight; however, Fergs opponent didn’t make weight.
It was a long drive up, and back. First we were on the road for awhile, then about 12 miles out of Columbus, Mont. our serpentine belt started to break. We heard a ticking noise, then looked in the mirrors, there was smoke barreling out of the back of the suburban…
We pulled over, Jason checked it out and saw that the belt was coming off, and some of it smacked the power steering pump (hence the smoke). Busted out the GPS and figured the closest place was Columbus, so we slowly and gently made our way there, no hurry… Found a parts store, $40 later, we were back on the road in no time.
We got up toward White Sulfur Springs, its dark, and starting to snow, we cannot see the road and there is very little visibility. So, the first time we started to fishtail, we pulled over and threw it into 4-wheel drive. Well the U joints started slipping, so we took it out of 4×4 and took it nice and easy. Not too far outside of Great Falls it cleared up and the traveling was smooth from there.
At 1:30, the day of weigh ins, Bryan, the promoter called and told us that Ferg’s opponent is 150lbs and they want to know if he will do a catch weight, or change opponents. We advised him that weigh ins were hours away, and that he needs to continue cutting.
Well by the time weigh ins happened, the kid went MIA, so we stood our ground and Ferg didn’t fight. We were bummed, but not going to be taken advantage of; Ferg has come a very long way with us and we really wanted to watch him perform. That was going to be his last ammy fight, and it still might have been is a sense.
Had a great time with Dave and all the Electric City MMA guys. After weigh ins we went to a good little Italian restaurant called The Pizza Baron. The guys ate spaghetti, and I had a Stromboli, it was delicious and we had awesome company!!
Fight Day!
Fight day was upon us, Marky was hoping to hit up the skate park in Great Falls, I hear its one of the nicest in the state. So we took him over there in the morning, let him ride while we went back for rules and medicals at noon, then picked him up after that.
Later that night, it was fight time; Jason’s fight was the Main Event.
Unfortunately, he lost due to a TKO, but it is being reviewed already. The fight was stopped at 4:52 of round 1, he was taking illegal shots to the back and side of his head, the ref didn’t warn or make the opponent aware of the blows, instead he ended the fight in his opponent’s favor.
He has zero damage to his face, and was weathering the storm to get to the next round. They are pros and can handle more abuse; I saw ammy fights go beyond what they let his go that night. When the videos come out, we will be posting them, and asking other’s opinions of them as well.
Now for the trip home, we wake up on Sunday, which is also Jason’s B-day, and it’s snowing!! We go down to eat breakfast then get the truck packed to hit the road. We take a different route home, and it was much better, only one really bad part of highway through one mountain this time!!
We are trucking along and I see a small SUV in a ravine. We stopped and found a little old lady had slid off the road, down into the ravine. Jason tried to get her car out and it was stuck, super steep, so we called highway patrol and the wrecker. Also there was a farm on the side of the highway we stopped on, so Jason went over there to see if they could help.
They were so nice, took the lady to their house until the wrecker got her car out. We couldn’t leave her down there, so once she was out of her car and safe, we headed back out. About five miles up the road, we slid into a ditch…
Our good deed didn’t go unseen, because we had a couple trucks caravanning to Billings pull over and help us out. We are forever grateful for their help. We finally made it home about 6 p.m. or so. Good trip and sorry for the late blog everyone, next week’s will be on time and have more diet info in it.
