All right, all right, all right. Just when it looked like November would yield no fight, I get an email from a local promoter who I spoke with last year saying they had a event the weekend before the one I had hoped to get in.
My coach was cautious, he doesn't know this promoter and his reputation is not sterling, but he was as forthcoming with detail this time as he was withholding of detail the last time we talked. He offered a Glory rules fight at 145 against a 0-0 fighter from down in Charlottesville, VA. We went back and forth for a bit before settling on Muay Thai (with limited rules, no elbows or knees to the head) at 150lbs. They are very concerned about my weight and I had to make repeated assurances that I don't stand at more than 155.
So its hard training for a few weeks and then on November 5th, I will fight in the Mix-It-Up Promotion.
