First match won time for the second round!!!!!
Well AR dudes I'm over here in Moscow sitting in their nicest hotel (which is actually nice). I had my first match today at 3pm Feb 3rd against Vladimir Burakov and happy to say I won by ref stoppage 6 minutes 39 seconds of the first round due to a severe cut over his right eye caused by one hard knee to the head in a side mount. I have another match tomorrow at 4pm moscow time (12am New York time) against a former spetsnaz officer. I'm very nervous about this match because from what I've seen this man is bigger, stronger and faster than I am, the only thing I'm ok about is if he gets me on my back I will feel comfortable because I have some good ground work defense. I actually took a bad amount of body punishment from this first fight and I'm aching like crazy right now. Anyway I'm fighting with a hell of a lot of confidence tomorrow and I'm def going to have to be on my best game and unfortunately for me it only gets harder from here on in :(. I thought there would be other Americans here with me but I'm the only one and I get booed like crazy whenever they announce my name, which actually kinda stunned me. (They're pissed at us for kicking Iraq's ass). Anyway I'm ready for the hostilities tomorrow and ready to get back and show what I've got. Thanks for the support from all you AR people!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
