This pis is from weigh ins. Troy is on the left. The bald guy.
[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Tim/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png[/IMG]Now, the fight went as fights usually do....Nothing as planned. LOL
Ok, Troy was in the zone while walking in to the ring....He was SUPER calm and started to walk...His cousins , father, and me and our BJJ coach in tow...Suddenly, he does the incredible Hulk on us...Like Chuck Liddel and stuff. It was CRAZY!
He enters the ring...Goes around as fighters usually do. and takes his place in the blue corner.
The ring announcer tells me that he announced, Troy "The Machine" Gonzalez, a little different because this is the match that everyone has been waiting for....HUH? WTF???
The announcer announces his opponent...Mac "Machine Gun"Calais. He's a home town boy and the crowd goes WILD!
Mac Calais comes into the ring and hops around a little and suddenly stops.......and waits while he and Troy have a stare down. Troy wins.
The announcer leaves the ring, and the horn sounds.
Now, in the dojo, we train to bump gloves and keep your hands up while doing it just in case the opponent doesn't play nice. Well....This is where t all falls apart.
Troy doesn't bother bumping gloves. He simply tears into Mac with a 1,2, hook combo. Instantly landing a HARD right hook to Mac's left eye. The audience says "OOOHHHH!!!!" Mac reels back and backs up. Troy resets, stalking Mac for a second or two. Me and our BJJ coach look at each other and say "WTF?" We look back and Troy unloads a 1,2, round kick to Mac's left rib. However, he drops his left while throwing the right round kick. Mac buckles a bit, but sucks it up and returns with a right cross which sends Troy to the ground. Mac see's the opportunity and jumps on top of Troy and lands another right to Troys temple as he attempts to return to this world. The ref steps in and calls it a TKO.
After the fight, Troy is in good spirits and wants to do it again....SOON! I go and speak to Mac Calais. He is holding his ribs. He says that he did NOT expect Troy to unleash like he did.
Things that pissed me off:
1) They TOTALLY lied about Mac's experience. We were told he was 2-0 and has only been training for about 4 months. Some digging reveals that Mac Calais was an amature boxer for quite a while and has a little over 6 months experience as well as a 4-0 record in MMA.
This pisses me off. While I'm talking to Mac, I ask him how long he's been training. He says about 6 months, and his girlfriend laughs and walks away.
2) They deliberatly stacked the fight against my boy. Mac's family was at the table next to ours and they are bragging about how "this guy's gonna be an easy win for Mac. " My wife asks about this, and they admit that they choose my boy because he has zero record and they wanted an easy win for Mac so he can go pro easier. Pussies. All of em.
3) We drove the limo to the fights. Parked in the back out of the way so we wouldn't block anyone in. Someone STILL hit my car! They broke the turn signal lens off and then even picked it up and took it with them!
Things I liked:
1) It was a good show with some good fights. Better than Rich Clementi's show by far.
2) The ring was bigger than Clementi's ring.
3) They paid travel cost in cash right after the fight.
4) Justin Verdin was a stand up guy. Really nice and easy to deal with.
5) Fairly organized.
Thats about it for now.....As soon as I can get the video up, I will.
