You should be terrified ...

Well, at least, that's what I told Nate when he asked if I'm training to be a cage fighter (I'm not).

But I DID go to my first-ever fight event this weekend.

And I loved it.

Some pics:

This pose was common for fighters from our gym - four of the six fighters from the gym who competed won their bouts.

Two others (Grayson and Eric) weren't able to compete because their opponents backed out at the last minute.

Of the two who lost, one went to a judges' decision and the other just got into a really bad situation, and Jason threw in the towel to keep him from getting really hurt. So, big congrats to Joe, Dustin, Gaelen and Shane, and to Bradley, who fought like hell for all three rounds and lost in the judges' decision.
