Had my daughter 2013 and it took me two years to get back to fighting when I discovered go-ti kickboxing with my son in 2015 and we did some point tournaments with an old high school friend, Dom Bryant. After that I heard MMA was going for a turn for the worst if we didn’t start getting some quality fighters with good ticket sales so I ran into Myron again just September of last year and really started to train hard and walked into the gym knowing I wanted to fight and help bring back the sport.
