Mad props to Joe for his fight this weekend. It may not have turned out exactly as we wanted but big ups to Joe for taking an incredibly hard fight for his first MMA match. In his VERY FIRST MMA match he knowingly stepped up against a highly athletic guy with 14 MMA fights under his belt and that right there takes a amazing amount of mental and warrior spirit that Joe certainly has. And he faced this guy with visible poise and resolve that everyone admired, even his opponent, that showed much respect at the end of their match.

So mad props to Joe who will certainly only use this as the opening narrative of his heart as he rises in MMA the same way he did the Muay Thai circuit he dominated.
