I welcome all opinions if they have some perspective of the truth in them at least the desire to benefit someone else. However my case if there's anybody on the sports experience with orthopedic surgeries and chronic injuries I'd really like to speak to that person to find out what my chances are if I'm going to have to call it a day.
Beginning young college wrestler with (Boxing) karate backgrounds, and after two years of training almost every day with Craig Kukuk and met Renzo I finally took my first fight, which was 10 minutes straight no rounds and if submit the guy he can grab the rope for a "rope escape"!!!!???
I put myself on the schedule fighting as mostly as possible and then I was invited to four-man tournament which I won I won the East Coast Bama fighting championships water weight belt. I beat 3 opponents that night 2 by submission and one TKO.
Got an Academic scholarship at Lehigh University so due to my spotty training I still trained as much as I could though and the demands of a brutal program in which I had a double major I was completely unable to fight for the next two or three years. Somewhere right after that before I graduated I did take another fight, fight that I wanted in the first round with the triangle. I took one more amateur fight and then I would look to turning pro if I thought I could make any sort of damage in the division. I defeated my opponent who owned his own MMA school an was the trainer of year reciprient so the stakes were up. I did want I was buiding to, train insane, running mountains at 4 AM, sparring pro heavyweights, watching film, u name it.
The guy I was scheduled for my pro debut had a record of 14 and 1, over or 13-1; depending what source you looked at and what's the mass destruction champion. He was, super focused, well trained and determined to win. No matter what train in he was going I was coming an INSANE camp. For 2 months, everyday I wdomedmout with wrestling team at a top 5 D1 university.afterwesring we did BJJ, punches with takedowns and everybody's does the inane ca cardio routine 30 to 45 minutes strictly emotion-based explosive drills with no rest in between. A lot of people fail I cannot make it through this.
Then 4 weeks before the fight me and my friends at the University hopped on a plane to Brazil so that's what we did the last three to half weeks for the fight we trained in Brazil which room twice a day every day 60s a week and on day seven Sunday we took private lessons. I didn't feel there was anything my opponent could've done to make up for the amount of training I got in I was really looking forward to having a terrific fight.
After this I fought my first Profite which was in sport fighting organization. This again was a very tough fight with a guy who has had more friends and I high-ranking me and jujitsu and just had an employee level ability to stay calm and would not let me throw him in the spaces. What changes at the last minute eliminated some things I tried to plan for and the fact that I just had a very good opponent was terrific defense and he was in shape and ready to fight so I won the fight by unanimous decision.
I'll start a new thread because this one will be too big to join with you and confuse people and anger there's my question is basically to talk about injuries that have occurred and how do you know when those entries that occurred our life and career change and injuries. I've had at least a dozen surgeries and I'm not talking about stitches are minor procedures for your Internet the next day I'm talking about me replacements shoulder replacements neck broken hands compartment syndrome and even kidney failure. I finally got my kidneys back and I never want to going to dialysis system again as long as I can move but I'd like to hear some interesting comments or thoughts if there's a way to build my body back up and be able to be a recreational (BJJ) or somebody who gets to go on the map shows what he knows and have some sort of contact with the group.
