🥉 Podium finish by technicality 😂
3rd place out of 3, went 0-2 in my division
Went 1-2 in the Open, got one win in repechage, had some good exchanges, and also got a very clear list of things I need to fix.
Not my best day, but that’s part of competing. Back to the lab 🥋🧪
Technique was questionable. Gravity did its job. 😂🥋
5 takedowns and not a single one is making the instructional DVD.
2 Points is 2 Points.
🥋 JUDOKA YOU SHOULD KNOW:
Amandine Buchard 🇫🇷
Olympic medalist. World-class judoka. Kata Guruma queen. 👑
And apparently being one of the best judokas on the planet wasn't enough… so she decided to play rugby too. 😂🏉
One of the most exciting athletes to watch, and her Kata Guruma is an absolute cheat code.
Who should I cover next? 👀

Part 3&4/4 - Breakdown & Final Thoughts 🥊
Not the result I wanted, but I learned A LOT from my first MMA fight.
Once I started connecting with my strikes, I abandoned the game plan and started fighting a completely different fight. Looking back, I should’ve stayed disciplined and trusted what I came in there to do.
I still think the stoppage was a little early, but I understand it. It was a military amateur fight, and safety comes first.
Then the medic asked if I was experiencing irritability while checking me for a concussion…
“I just got punched in the face. Of course I’m irritated.” 🤣
Overall, the event was awesome, the crowd was insane, and I’m grateful I finally got to experience stepping into a cage.
Rumor has it there might be another Combatives Night in December… 👀
Put me on that card.
The first goal was getting in the cage.
Next goal: get the W.
Part 1/4 — Before the Fight 🥊
Recorded this a few hours before stepping into a cage for the first time.
Nervous? Absolutely 😂 I didn’t want to get knocked out, but more than anything I wanted to go out there, have a war, put on a show, and help make sure events like this keep happening.
It’s kinda crazy watching this back now knowing how the night actually ended.
But this was exactly where my head was before walking into that cage.
Next: The Fight 👀
08/22/2026
Yep… got TKO’d 😅 but at least I went out there and put on a show.
Seriously though, I appreciate all the love and support so many of y’all have shown me. I’m truly grateful. I’ll keep training, keep learning, and keep getting better.
Most importantly, I’m grateful to God. Back in 2024, I got eliminated at Lacerda and walked away with the desire to one day step inside a cage. Today, thanks to God, that dream became a reality.
Thanks to my wife, coaches past and present, Ryan Alvarez, thanks for being in my corner. And thanks to the wolfpack of Lycan Mixed Martial Arts . I still can't believe that I was there for 6 months and y'all still keep contact and reach out.
Didn’t get the result I wanted, but I got to live out something I had been thinking about for two years.
Dream accomplished. ✅
Next goal: actually get the W. 😂🥊
We keep moving forward.
