Time to stop hiding..

It’s been a few days since my loss to Will Chope on DARE Championships and it’s time for me to stop hiding from it and start to deal with it.

I have been going over the fight in my head non stop and have been telling myself it’s a bad dream and I will wake up any minute, but after looking at myself in the mirror everyday and seeing the black eyes and bumps on my head, I have finally came to the conclusion that it is not a bad dream and it is in fact real.

I am not one for making excuses and I know that on the night Will was the better fighter and done what he needed to do to get the win. I am really disappointed in myself for a number of reasons, mainly the fact that I let all my training partners, trainers and team at TMT down by not performing in the way I know I can and should.

I don’t mind the fact that I lost but it is the way in which I lost and knowing I never turned up to fight and didn’t perform to my ability, letting myself and all my team down is what I find hard to deal with.

I would just like to Thank the following :

All my Team at TMT for all the help and support.

DARE Championships for allowing me to be part of the event and for putting on a amazing show.

Phuket Pro Nutrition for sponsoring me for the event.

All my family, friends and people who supported me throughout my training and for the fight.

My opponant Will Chope.

I also would like to say sorry for not fighting to my potentional and letting everybody down. It’s time to go back to the drawing board and see what is next for Milky.
