She  was a nice doctor answering my many questions. If ya’ll don’t know I ask what I don’t know that’s why I do know a lot, I’m never ashamed to admit I don’t know something. Anyways, she was just asking questions that she wanted to know the answer to. So, in no way is this Blog about her.  But I do often get stuff like this from Christians about my fighting. I’m so tired of religious, Holier than thou people. I also often notice other Christians doing it to each other all the time. They do it about everything.  As weird as it may seem I have never tried to talk to a woman from any of the churches I have gone too. That’s not the reason I go to church. I recently saw a woman at church that I noticed since about a month before my fight. I ignored this thought because fight time is fight time! Recently, I decided to ask someone at church about her and they said “I don’t know about her do you see the way she dresses? So, I don’t know about her ect” The whole vibe was negative. I quickly addressed it because she does have shape and doesn’t wear grandma clothes. There is nothing wrong with the way she dresses, she is always covered appropriately.

I post and say stuff all the time on Facebook  just to confront tradition and  religion.. These very things caused the highest religious leaders to crucify and not know Jesus when he came. Some people don’t believe in having a drink, going to a party, going to movies, woman wearing pants, eating certain things ect.  They either make up stuff and say it’s in the Bible or take a verse and make it fit without the rest of the supporting scriptures that gives the full meaning . If they feel it’s something wrong with somethings that aren’t specifically stated in the Bible nor are covered by biblical principle and foundation that’s  fine. Those things very well could  be personal things that God has put in their hearts for their lives and they shouldn’t do it. But you shouldn’t put that on anyone else if it’s not biblical, but no one else should try to change your actions in this matter either.

If something really is out of order, address it in the correct way. Many forget that a big part of our job is to love everyone, not to judge everyone. We are called to be witnesses and they just tell what has happened and the Judge and the Lawyers do the rest. We are also to live lives that compel people to come to Christ not so much as to what we are saying but what we are living, while actually being led by God and being able give testimony of what God has done in our lives. This applies whether it puts us in a shameful light or not. I don’t believe that its that people see we are perfect, but that we can be touched and go through things in life but they notice that there is something different about us and the way that we are able to get back up with his help.

I saw this scripture literal as most see it which applies, but a while a go I saw it as, actually being able to lay down your life for a friend to help them and stop being so busy. You can check out that blog by clicking here ” Would You Give Up Your Life For A Friend” I was later reading it and it was revealed to me that it also can be applied as laying down your life as in presenting it before and making it transparent to your friends so they won’t go through the same things or fall in the same holes you have in life.

So, many are afraid of not looking so perfect and Holier than thou, that they are allowing people around them to fall into the same problems they have fallen too. Many could’ve prevented it but didn’t, because they don’t want to give up the skeletons in their own closest as if everyone doesn’t have some.  All heavenly minded, but doing no one any earthly good!! Christians weren’t saved just to go to heaven if that were so once we were saved we would die immediately and go there. But we are here to do his work and a large part of it is out in the world. So, that means you have to mingle with people who do not go to church.  The Light is not useful where there is already a lot of light it’s useful in the Dark! Have you ever seen people going out in the day time with candles?

I also have not forgotten About the Steve Harvey Part 2, I’m just really busy hope to get it out tomorrow, this was was more Important to me off to training now Talk to You Guys Later!!

Women for some reason seem to pick men that they need to fix ,change or are unavailable for whatever reason. I have yet to figure out exactly why. I don’t know if it’s just the nurturing, motherly part of their personality combined with other things that I have noticed or what, but that’s another blog. They get with these men that obviously had the issues before they married them. I’ve heard stories of women catching there husbands to be cheating weeks before the wedding and still marry them. Consequently, they are later somewhere crying saying I thought he would change! HUH?? Then in the rare cases where the men do eventually change or never needed changing at all most times the woman gets bored and starts chasing what she calls excitement from a dead beat that needs to be changed?

I know a good bit of great guys that this has happened too. Women there are a lot of good guys out wondering what happened to the good women because they won’t give them the time of day. The women are looking are these bad guys saying there are no good guys. So, a great book to write would be one figuring out the psychological factors that causes this dynamic in women. Where was that chapter? Why did all the men have issues that needed to be fixed? There are plenty of men that don’t need to be fixed at all. Chapter One: Why are they over looked? Chapter two: LOL let me stop I’ll write this book one day!! I really have a couple more chapter names just don’t want anyone to steal it ….

I had noticed this trend a while ago, not knowing that a great guy I’m very close to would experience both sides. Years ago he broke off an engagement because she moved away. Months later he started going out with a new woman. He was honest from the very beginning, that’s the type of guy he is. He let her know that he was not trying to be in a relationship because he was still in love with the woman he had been engaged to and if she came back, he knew he would get right back with her. True Story!!For a year the lady he was dating begged & cried for him to give her a chance and always stated how he treated her better just dating than anyone she had been committed too. To make a very long story short, he finally decided to commit then shortly after that married her. A few months later she totally changed to this crazy dynamic and she was know by many to be a great woman. She later told him that she had really intended to be the great wife he deserved. They tried to work through it, but it was never the same and he eventually totally dissolved it.

This caused him a great deal of pain and totally altered the way he handled and experienced things. It was like his DNA had changed. He decided he was never going to be serious with anyone again. He picked up a weekend job where he met a lot of women. He would say whatever he wanted to say to them because he didn’t care at all. He was pulling so many women that guys that had been working there for year would come over and say “ How do you do it, I have never seen anything like it!”

The weirdest thing was happening behind the scene that confirmed what I had been saying. He’s honest so he  would let them all know that he was only looking to chill, and that he was not emotionally available an explained exactly why. “ So He Really Needed  to Be fixed by them but didn’t know it then” He would have countless stories and texts of them saying the same things, of how they had never met anyone like him ect., But he wasn’t hearing it, nor did he care. It became such a system that after a night with a new lady he would  say what the texts or conversations the next day would be and almost get it word for word every time, that is unless they didn’t tell it to him before they left. Then he would say something to them like just so you know I do spend time with other women is that cool with you. He got a yes almost every time and the one time he didn’t, she later reappeared and accepted this? These were all classy, beautiful, educated woman. The I would never do that chicks, the ones that he would have believed in the past if he hadn’t had these experiences. Side not:  He would have sex with 95% of these women the very first date and 99% of the remaining ones who didn’t would the second date no matter what there stances were previously.

Part 2 Will explain the problems he started facing, The problems he faced when he later became emotionally available,  how one of the characters really would have reacted to the woman and common knowledge that I think all women should have.

There is no way that I could have pulled this weight cut off without George Lockhart with FitnessVT. After the weigh ins I immediately started rehydrating myself. Once you have cut your food down to such little portions for so long, when you are able to start back eating normally you have to eat small meals or you will get really sick. The fight before the last fight I got sick as a dog because I was stuffing myself with a Chipotle burrito!! I literally could see the lump in my stomach from the burrito. Boy was my stomach hurting and a couple hours later I puked up everything.

My stomach was hurting so bad the fight before that one that I could barely sleep because I was so stuffed. That next morning I woke up and went and got a huge breakfast the morning of the fight. I told George what I had eaten and he went off, saying that I’m going to perform like crap because I had put all that crap in my body when my body was now use to eating super clean. I told him that I was trying to gain 30lbs back before the fight. He told me that I shouldn’t have done that because I will be to heavy and feel like crap.

So with this fight I thought I was doing a good thing by only trying to gain like 20lbs over night. So when I woke up I was weighing about 154lbs. I of course ate breakfast and kept eating up to the fight. Also, the night before I set my alarm for 2 am just so I could get another meal in. This probably wasn’t the best Idea because the night before weigh ins I couldn’t sleep a wink, and was getting maybe four hours of sleep a night for about two week prior.

Before it was time to warm up for the fight, I told Ron that I felt tired, sleepy, and that my stomach didn’t feel the best I laid down on the mat to try and take a nap. I couldn’t sleep. After about 20 mins one of my good friends and boxing teammates Gary Russell Jr. called me and pumped me up for about 45 mins and right after that I called Crosby Bonner. They had me so hype that I totally ignored it.

They called me to the cage first when normally I am called to the ring last. This didn’t surprise me because my opponent was very known in the area and had a lot of amateur wins from what I had heard. People that don’t know me have no idea that I have a lot of amateur fights as well because they aren’t online.  But I wasn’t worried nor had I ever seen him fight before our fight. I don’t watch film of my opponents. I was so hype, that when they were introducing me I was walking back in forth talking to him loudly saying this is my time, I know you think its your time but you are about to see ect. He was just looking at me. When they called his name I turned my back to him.

During the first round I knew something wasn’t right. I’ve felt my timing off before but it felt worse than that because I would see openings and didn’t even respond at all. I saw a lot of opportunities that I normally would’ve taken, that I believe would ‘ve ended the fight earlier. It was as if it was in slow motion. As soon as I went to the corner after the 1^st round I started throwing up in the bucket. It was a lot. Ron stood in front of me holding the bucket and shielded me, but some kind of way the Doctor saw it. He asked was I ok as if he was about to stop the fight. I immediately told him that I had gagged on my mouth piece. He asked was I sure I said yes the bell rang and I got up and went back to work. During that round I was praying for strength because I knew I didn’t have the energy of myself. During the round he kicked me in my testicles and that was no fun because before the fight I could find my cup & had to borrow my teammates and it didn’t fit into my shorts correctly to fully cover me. So I was giving a little time to recover from it but it wasn’t the full 5 mins I was supposed to get. I heard the crowd booing but I didn’t care, because none of them where in the cage or had ever been kicked in there balls full force by someone who knew how to kick. I was tricked out of my full five minutes because the commissioner or the doctor came to the cage and said can you not continue as if they were about to stop the fight. Of course I said I can continue I’m no PUNK!

While we were fighting I could hear his corner saying he’s tired the cut has hurt him he’s not the same. The same coach had told me at the weigh ins that they had been watching a lot of my videos. Only my teammates & boxing coaches, Jarrett Becks and Lloyd Irvin that have been around me for a while know that I love to talk while sparring. It’s when I feel the best mentally. I even put my hands down ect. and talk a lot of trash!! They also know that my mentality is the strongest part of me. So, his corner was shouting to him he’s tired hit him with this ect. And I looked him square in the eyes while tired and said “ I see you are tired too, come in here with that if you want too.. Later I heard his corner say he’s bleeding knock him out!! I looked at him again and said “ You Bleeding too, you come in here I’m going to knock you out!” He never responded to anything I said but I could tell he heard exactly what I said even though he was very experienced.

I continued to pray for strength and a win because I knew I didn’t want this fight to go to the judges score card. I listened to my corner and heard my teammate from the crowd saying put my right hand up. I threw a combination that landed. When he dropped I knew he was done, I just ran over to throw punches to make sure it was over because I knew I didn’t have anything left in me LOL. I could kind of tell that the reff Dan Murgliotta was trying to call the fight but I wasn’t stopping until I was sure!

The next day I told George how I felt and he went off. He was really pissed with me, right before the pee test before the fight; I left to go back to the room to eat. I ate some Chipotle & potatoes. I have an issue with seeing myself really small it’s like the opposite of anorexia; he got onto me the fight before last when I was fighting at 145 when I was trying to stack on 30 lbs by the fight. My stomach was hurting ect. He said it’s going to make you slow and feel like crap, why are u trying to gain so much. So, this fight I thought I was doing better by only gaining 20 lbs but it back fired on me!! I was just ignorant thinking I was doing it right this time. He says I feel some things should be common sense when you feel full stop eating, but I still ate another meal while still felt full.. Yea I know My common sense is not to common in this area.. It just all has to do with my own mental image. I gotta do better!!

     The LORD IS AWESOME!! I was in serious need floating til the fight, but I didn’t worry bc like Rhadi Bullard Ferguson Phd told me once “U not gone run out God is Going to Run U into something else” Last night someone said I will buy a ticket just to support u but not going to the Fight I said I only get like $5 per ticket sale if u wanna support me u can always go to my website & donate that there, he sent me a message saying it wasn’t working so I verified the account & saw it was $96 in there all ready. Afterwards I finally logged in my google YouTube account & see I have money to be paid to me there once the verification process is finished.

     About 2 hrs ago I sent a message to 3 friends asking them to be in prayer with me in agreement on the things I been praying on, a spectacular win, major doors to be opened, & that I was behind on somethings financially, about an hr later I noticed that the guy had donated the ticket money to my website! Then I just got off of the phone with a family member that called that I loaned $1,500 dollars to a couple yrs ago, They said is there a Walmart near u I have put money there for u, I said no! U need ur money. They said I’m doing better now since the fast at church, “I’m thinking huh u fasting? LOL” They said the pastor had us to write down 3 things & all of them have happened for me, I know its not a lot but there’s $200 dollars for u I said no it’s a lot at least I can pay this ticket now that came in the mail from Dc camera I didn’t know I ran a light. I said Thank you they said no thank u I appreciate u helping me!! They said we talked about a payment plan a while ago, they said that I appreciate u helping me & I’m doing better now so I’ll start! ” LoL its been so long ago til I didn’t remember that, & I didn’t think I would ever get the money back.

     About two weeks ago friend here needed Gas money so I gave him some from the Ticket money I had on me so he could get back & forth & spent some money on things I needed to get ready for the fight, I was dreading to have to take that money out of my account & put it back bc I knew I was super low & will have to have gas to get to the weigh ins & then eat up to the next day before my fight, but Ron Choirboy Stallings volunteered to sell a couple tickets for me & I counted the money & said this is more than what should be here he said I didn’t have change & people were like keep the change, The night before last I counted the tickets I had left to see how much I had to put back because its close til time to turn the money in & I had $1 more than what I had taken out!!

      Just remembered while typing, Last week I ran out of a few supplements that I had to have for my weight cut, no way I could get them it would cost me about $100 yes prep is very expensive notice I said 2 of the supplements & that I had run out, I definitely spend more than I make in hopes of making it to the UFC, & work hard day & night sacrificing a normal life anywaysj Juan Ponte the owner of Max MuscleMd Columbia, MD donated the supplements to me, when his business is in need & he is a great guy!! I tell you so please go by there & get something from him!! # Thank You Lord & The People You Have Used!!! Jehovah Jireh= The Lord Will Provide!!

I now know why penquins walk the way that they do!! I know my feet were frozen for over 1 1/2 hours!!
