MMA Fight
I never realized how much metal focus it takes to prepare for a Mixed Martial arts MMA fight. I watch fights and see the war that goes on in the cage, but I had never realized the battle that takes place for months before it. Now that I’m on the fight team I see the preparation first hand! Tommy and Roman are fighting next weekend, and I’ve been a part of their fight training and preparation and it’s been an eye-opening experience. I had always thought that the physical preparation would be the hardest part. But I’ve found that while physically it’s rough, mentally it’s hell. When preparing for a MMA fight you put yourself to the test. You find and pass your limits. Your body will tell you to quit but you continue to push forward, with the help of your teammates cheering you on, encouraging you, telling you not to quit. The mentality is that it’s better to kill yourself now in practice and preparation than the die in the cage. It looks like hell, and at times I feel sorry for my brothers who are preparing for their fights. But I am also proud of them and I know they went through all this hell and will be prepared for their MMA fight. I can’t wait for my turn.
