You Know Steve, I've noticed alot of new "Fan's" to the Sport, and that's a good thing. Twister, Billy and Myself
talked about this in July of '06, mentioning the fact that more people are training, which gives you a larger talent pool for fighters. However, there are some who are status seekers who justify their existence by measuring themselves to the UFC mainly because it's on TV a lot more.
Some claim to fight in other combat sports like your situation, I had a guy tell me that he was a "Mu Tao"(Phonics) fighter and was going to switch to
"Ultimate Fighting" when he lost weight.
Some like to Drop names of local guy's...I've heard
Twister, Ro Brower, Brandon Weaver, the Tattoed guy (Billy)
and even had one guy who I never seen before tell me that
he rolled with Ringskilz.....(having no Idea of my connection to the RZ). I'm a big fan of any Competitor the competes in "Continous movement sports" because of the risk
involved. (Some try to say grappling is not too combative, but I say anything that can break or render you unconcious has some level danger to it; can be defined as combative.)
There are guy's in and around the state that have been involved in promoting, exposing, fighting, the politics and the B.S. of this sport , Since '93. I go to their websites, send them e-mails, go to their events, maintain some form of contact. Beacause I know that they keep their ear to the ground.
If a person needs info about training, video, tournaments, fighters or whatever, I try to give it to him and move on, because satisfying his ego is a waste of his and my time.
There's a guy that I work with who recently started training with the guy's in Angier, I'm proud of him because
he's been searching since August and he finally found a gym
that fits his Schedule. Now that's someone who I'm willing to hold conversation with; a man of action.
