Looking for a promoter for an AMMA event but im willing and prepared to fight at an elevated level.I've been training for 5 monthes for MMA and im ready to show the work and determination to an unlucky competitor. current walk around is 148 at 5'7 but i can cut to 135 no problem but 145 is a welcomed weight class for me as well.

I know a TON of promoters and they will take anyone who says yes to a fight and let them fight. I hope, you are not standing Kimora, but if you are so be it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: 135-145 lber looking for promoter (crudentials available) Author: Rick [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:16:06 01/08/09 Thu There's a picture of you smoking a cigarette on your Myspace page. Does that help with your top scale cardio? http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=398829419&albumID=533025&imageID=8112661 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: 135-145 lber looking for promoter (crudentials available) Author: John O'Brine [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:53:59 01/08/09 Thu There is probably about 5 pictures on myspace of me smoking. No need to be passive aggressive bro, I know cigarettes are about the worst thing I could be indulging in, its the same reason why I quit.But in response to your question, I'm sure its had a negative effect on my oxygen:blood and thus making cardio harder to withstand in longer more stamina based sessions,It would take a real tool to argue that point, But the negative effects its had on me physicly never striffed my work ethic.And as I said before, my conditioning is top scale.

[> [> Subject: Re: 135-145 lber looking for promoter (crudentials available) Author: John O'Brine [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:26:46 01/11/09 Sun My ground skills are always improving, but no I'm not looking for belt progression under a different instructor because I am planning to go back where I originally started my BJJ.Its nothing towards Enuccio he has been one of the best instructors ive had the pleasure of working with.But as of right now I work full time, train full time, and whats not training and working is sleeping and eating :)I just wish to recieve my black belt all under 1 instructor. and without time for travel that goal is unachievable right now.

[> Subject: Re: 135-145 lber looking for promoter (crudentials available) Author: Rodney [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:42:49 01/13/09 Tue Hey John, don't let these guys get ya down. They hear so much BS from "wanna-be" fighters that they tend to be rough with people on here. I don't think your going to find a fight a promoter on these boards. So this isn't the best place to look. Have you tried the Underground forums for NC? http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=forum.splash&forum=145 Good luck in your journey.
