War fucking me!
Assuming my opponent Alex Huddleston signs on the dotted line, I'll be making my pro debut against him on July 21st, Colorado Springs.
The facts:
Ultimate Top Team will be promoting, it's a great organization being run by Bobby Lashley and a team of professionals. I'm excited to get a chance to fight for them, a partner of mine fought for them last year and liked it a lot.
The fight will be at heavyweight, but it doesn't look like either of us are going to get above 240#, so it should be a pretty quick-style fight, no tiring out.
My Musings:
Dude is pretty tall at 6'7, so I'm not sure I'm kicking anybody in the face this time around. Which is a bummer, because finishing combos with a high kick is kind of my thing.
My opponent was a pretty big deal on the KC amateur scene it would appear. Former Golden Glover, and a pretty good clinch fighter (but maybe that's just cuz he's a lot taller than most of his opponents) but based upon his own youtube videos his overall grappling game is still in development.
Mr.Huddleston has made a whole amateur career out of beating up fat guys, so most of my strategy at this point involves not being a fat guy. Also lots of movement and never potshotting. He's a good counter fighter, but a little slow, and lacks headmovement.
So...I dunno, thoughts? Comments?
