What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, except my win…and herpes :(

MAN, where do I start? I have been REALLY BUSY these last few weeks in preperation for my fight in Las Vegas this past friday. To let everyone know I won round one TKO as I was striking from full mount. I have never worked so hard and have never worked this much wrestling and boxing. This was the first time I put everything together and truly understood that Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, etc. are AMAZING tools but none of these arts are MMA. MMA is putting it all together and my gym Subfighter has really helped me clean up for this last fight. My team had 5 men step in the cage and we had an 80% win ratio. The loss we had on our team was a decision and he went to war. It was a great fight for the belt that he will win in his next battle. Congrats to everyone that fought, everyone performed so well!

I also want to take up some of this space to thank everyone who helped me train not only for this fight, but ever. I learn something new everday from every single partner, especially the gay ones ;) jk! Thanks Paragon BJJ, Tiger Muay Thai, Conquest BJJ and SUBFIGHTER. These gyms have helped me grow so much and although each gym has it’s own style, I have learned a great amount from each one of them. I am currently training at Subfighter and they have really changed my game in the last few months. Thank you God for not letting me die in Iraq :P , my family for believing in me, team, veterans for giving me motivation, and the Marine Corps for the SHITTY times you gave me because when times get tough, I’M STILL ALIVE! I know it wasn’t a championship fight or anything and I am thanking people like I won one; however, it meant the most to me out of all my fights and it was the biggest venue I have competed in thusfar.

I had three friends who all live in Vegas that came to watch as well as my team and their families. Two buddies I worked with in Afghanistan and are both Marine Veterans. It was AWESOME to catch up and talk about how we are all a little screwy in the head ;) I’m not alone lol. My other friend who lives here was my room mate in Phuket Thailand who took me out on the town the day after my fight…Shout out to Mario, Ty, and Mark the beaner fuck!

So as I went out to celebrate with Mark the beaner and Mark E my teammate and we had a blast in Vegas. I bought a last minute costume for about a dollar and Marks girlfriend gave me a wig to wear that I had fun with on the drive back to Cali earlier today ;). The highlight of my halloween weekend in Vegas was driving down the strip at 4 am sticking my ass out the window and mooning everyone in sight lol. I love to weird people out and as I harrased everyone in their halloween costumes I am LOVING the creep vibes I am giving to attractive women (HOW MANY HEARTS HAVE YOU BROKEN WHORE) JK JK. Well that bitch Karma decided to creep me out as we honk, stop, hang my pink ass out the window. A very large bald man in all seriousness yells at the top of his lungs “I know that asshole” as he points his finger to my incredible, gorgeous ass…I didn’t know wat to say, everyone in the crowd started to laugh, as did we, but he never cracked a smile or said he was joking LMFAO!

I crashed Marks house and left back to Cali in the AM. The drive is all desert so Mark E and I decided to have a little fun with the wig I stole from Marks girl because I am half Mexican and am forced by blood to steal…I would pull up next to a group of girls and Mark put the wig on and started pretending to give me “road head” so all you could see was his long silky hair bobbing up and down. Eventually the girls would look and all point in disgust as I acted like I was enjoying the shit out of my BJ. He would then pop up with a suprised look on his face and I would look at the girls with a confused look on my face. He would take the wig off and they would all laugh as we sped away trying to keep a straight face. I did this a handful of times and remember guys…it’s not gay if you beat them up after :)

The famous costume and wig :)

Mark the beaner and I.

Mark E that wore the wig, choking on wings I said were “not too hot” (he thinks hot cheetos are hot)

Before and after “look” I was growing the face out until the fight…Thanks for reading stalkers :P
