Should be a win for you, however never be over confident, just play it as it rolls.. I did mauy tai, jiu.. I had some boxing when I was really young.. def awesome if you can stay with it, but time plays a big roll in all that...

I hope so.

From the stats from his last weigh-in, I've got 4 inches and 20lbs on him.

Ran 2 miles in 20 minutes last night with a 20lb vest and 5lbs on each wrist, I was planning on making my debut in about 6 months, so I had this whole workout planned that was going to take another 5-6 months, but I was offered this fight and I just couldn't turn it down.

DO IT!! I video tapped a buddy a few years ago who went into the octogone and got his *** handed to him!!
In his defense he twisted his ankle to the point where it was the size of a grapefruit the night before and basically fought on one leg, but if you ask him he won't use that as an excuse. The best part of the night is there was a massive fight in the stands and some fool got his *** LITE UP!!!

MMA is the ****!

Hank Patton is who I'm fighting, he's the guy that starts out in the far corner for those that don't want to listen to the announcer.

Overhand right is slower than Christmas, and has zero wrestling skills.

My thoughts exactly. Not only no wrestling, no ground game at all. Also didn't get out of the first round, and was gassed.

Roughly 12 hours left... I'll post up how it turns out from my phone when it's over, and post the video when I can.

Good luck! I still train quite a bit and its a blast. I only do jiu jitsu tournaments now though. I never really had the aggression for the cage, never lost, but never fought anyone real good either. Let us know how it goes, sounds like you'll do real well.
