Apparently I have to weigh w/in 10 pounds for this fight to count and not be an exhibition. I stuffed myself the other day and weighed in at 178 fully clothed, so as long as he cuts SOME I should be all set. I did get a black eye, cut under my eye and a sore neck yesterday, so I am in full on healing mode now! Going to do some cardio on Monday, then rest up... Avoid booze on the 4th and should be all set for Friday night! I'm starting to get pumped... Sleep isn't coming easy.

'Preciate it man! I weighed in at 178 last night fully dressed with a big bottle of water in my hand. The guy I'm fighting was 183 after cutting a few pounds. I was back to 172 this morning. I'm all set and there is no turning back now! I am good and confident, and hoping I don't piss myself if I don't tap out in time. Hahaha. I will most likely give an update tomorrow morning!

Not sure how long it will take to get the video, but it is coming! I ended up being the first fight of the night. Was getting REALLY anxious then the National Anthem came on and it completely calmed me down. Forgot my CD, so I ended up walking out to some rage against the machine they had. Onto the fight... this is how I remember it. Happened so quick and I was on a rush, so the order probably isn't quite right.
Came out and touched gloves, circled about 270 degrees and I went in for some strikes, didn't get him with anything great. He hit me a few times, clinched up and he got a decent knee in. He is taller so he got up and put me in a crappy guillotene. I got out, he threw a lazy knee, and I caught it, taking him down. I was in his guard at that point. He, surprisingly didn't do much on the ground. I took my time finding my punches, got in a few good ones and walked him over to the fence. Clinched up to catch my breath and heard the ref say "you gotta stay busy or I'll stand you up!" I threw a few good ones. One was a big over hand right that caught his eye. That made his eyes roll back, but he came to with the next hit. He rolled onto his right side and had his hands up so I reared back and hit his gut with the hardest knee I've ever thrown. He let out a huge groan and then the ref said 'gotta protect yourself!' to him. That set me off and I started swinging for the fences! Big left broke his nose, few hammer fists and the ref called it! I fell backwards in exhaustion and the paramedics attended to the waterfall that was his nose. Took me a solid 15 min to completely regain my breath. He looked rough afterwards... I talked to him and his nose was crooked, had a black eye and welts all over his head. I have a bump on the side of my head from one of his first punches and a few scratches on my side. I also went into the fight with what I think is a pinched nerve in my left arm. I really reaggrivated it and now it's driving me insane! Any tips on that are welcome! Thanks for the support guys! Kate - probably a few months. Next one will be at lightweight, NOT middleweight! :D

Couple more pics that I've gotten. First is me walking to the cage. I'm in mid chew on my mouth piece...
 Blurry post fight pic that I like:  I'm so tough now that I got a massage today for my shoulder. Could barely stand the pain, but it does feel a little better. Planning on going back for another once I can lay still for 2 minutes w/o my arm hurting. Sleep has royally sucked the last few nights.
