Big Tournament Coming Up

[Youngblood]

Young blood !
You alright mate? slap slap, wake up, how many fingers am I holding up?
What is today?

Seriously how'd you go?

Just back now from the nationals, Winter Games. Crowds there of over 5000 people watching. Meh, so disappointed. Got the bronze but feel gold was a near lock. In the semi -finals was ahead 4-1 feeding my opponent overhand rights when my hand broke. Knuckle was suspect going in but hoped i could pull it out, but pushed the thing back almost 2 inches and the ref ended up stopping it. In hindsight I should have hid the injury better and just tried to finish with one hand. With one more round left I think I could have did it with one hand and at least get a berth in the finals. It sucks so hard.

I fought in heavy weight too, 20-25 lbs less then my competitors moving up from light heavy to take a shot as our heavy weight bailed at the last minute and didn't show at the airport. Had the speed and the skills to take it, positive of that..but mush for a hand.

We are only human mate and there are many ways to skin a cat.

Take the time out recoup . You will become better, smarter and less touchable through all this.

Big job you took on btw very .

Be easy on yourself.

Congrats to that. Hope you hand heals.

thanks guys. had an appointment w/sports doc, now off to see an orthopedic surgeon. he figures it needs to be operated on/fixed as wont heal right on its own. w/e the case, no punching people in the face for a while. so going to train mma to stay in shape and check that out as i already got a membership, just stick to the bjj and grappling. gonna be a while for a fight, but meh, been training for so long dont mind the break (no pun intended). next year is my year to take it all again, have little doubt as will be at the top end age of juniors. just gotta sort out the bs details first i spose.

Good luck, you have to get it fixed right mate.
