My son just won his debut MMA fight(amateur)

[MikeB]

I'm very happy for you and your son. I would not support my son if wanted to fight. That's just me. I wouldn't stop him, but wouldn't support it.

I would support my son





Would you support your son if he were gay?

 

[wabashwonders]

Exactly, people don't understand the sacrifice it takes to be a fighter. And beating someone to a bloody pulp isn't even what it's about. Anyways, some will never get it, and some are like WTF have I been missing and being so negative for all this time for after attending their first show as this shit is awesome!

My wife did not want to go at first because she wasn't really big on seeing our son fighting and possibly getting hurt. But after watching him fight, she loved it and also was very proud of him. What I found amazing was the crowd was pretty evenly split between females and males and maybe even more females. Women seem to love this stuff. Also very good sportsmanship between the fighters.

Yes but I don't support violence

The scenery is also great here! Just an added bonus, sir.

You don't watch football (college or pros), hockey or boxing?

Too bad it's not violence. It's in a controlled cage in a controlled environment. The love for one another most of these fighters have is amazing. These guys don't condone this in the streets either. That's violence.

So, you don't like football or rugby either because they can be labeled as "violence"?

beat me to it, somewhat.

Yeah, the video would be great to see if you can

 

[KingofNicotine]

You know what's strange? I only ready the title and in my mind I pictured a little 6 year old doing MMA.

 

[honzie]

Good on ya Wabash. If your son was 30 lbs lighter I'm guessing you persuade him into becoming jockey? Hope he starts a nice little streak now!

The DVD I mentioned I am buying from the communications company that recorded the event and won't get that for 1-2 weeks. I do have video of my sons fight on my phone but do not know how to load it here. If someone knows how and can instruct me I will attempt to load it.

Yes, I do watch football. I see where you can draw comparisons but c'mon. The game can obviously be violent at times but that's not the basis of the game.

 

[Shub]

If you like to watch 2 grown men in tights fight each other, go for it. Knock yourself out, no pun intended.

Do you support the US Military?

The basis of the game is to Win. Same with MMA and all other sports. Guess we're surrounded by violence. Works for me.

My 28 year old son,who admitted to us he was an alcoholic over 2 years ago and hasn't had a drink since, has been training for last year and a half for this night and it was a very successful debut for him. Fighting at the 145 lb class, he took his opponent(a 3 time winner ) down about 30 seconds into the fight and stayed on top but was tied up with his opponent for the next minute. He was finally able to get his arms loose and pummeled his opponent with a flurry of punches until the ref stopped the fight at the 2 minute mark of 1st round. I'm a very proud Dad tonight...

congrats, all the best for him going forward
