Punching people in the face and winning fights are probably my favourite things.
Only thing i like as much as that is watching my friends punching people in the face and winning fights.
So its fair to say this weekend was pretty epic,Thunder Kat was making her pro mma debut,in fact her mma debut as well. Straight into pro…which is pretty pimp.
Trained on Friday morning while waiting for Lovey to skive off early from work and drive us down to Watford. Before we left ,Lovey had to train with Gaz for a bit but that provided us with some awesome entertainment. 2 massive guys wearing headguards and big gloves trying to knock each other out..i have it on video but not uploaded it yet. its spectacular.
Lovey forgot to bring a change of pants,socks and trainers but thankfully the big man is suggestable and was persuded to just buy new ones at the Fort,this also provided a handy stop to buy refreshments on the way…stones thrown 2…burds killed 1(in joke there)
As we ventured down south Lovey proceeded to give Kat a history of Lanarkshire,i’m not sure why but I took it as a sign to fall asleep….so I did.
Our long drive was punctuated with Lovey’s constant over explanations,a journey through hip hop,the building of atmospheric metal,a pit stop at a Wimpy( i didnt even know they still existed!!) and me breaking a childrens patio set at a service station…it looked cast iron but was actually plastic….fucking death trap it was!!!
We arrived at our hooker and yardie packed hotel tired and hungry but relieved to have made it.
Hooked up with Rosi Sexton and Nomad MMA in the corridor for a lengthy chat and banter session before Lovey and I ventured out into Watford city centre for scran.
Our 20 minute walk about proved to be a massive success…we found 2 strip clubs(Kat loves strippers) got a Subway,a cookie and Red Bull plus got an accidental flash of some Watford burds arse. Short walks rarely prove as fruitful!
This was to be the highlight of our night however as we got an early night while watching some shite movie Kat chose and fell asleep in our freezing room without any blankets and a heater that only heated up the surrounding inch of the heater! baws.
Woke up at my usual 7-8am despite getting a shite sleep that involved me putting on more clothes as the night wore on.Despite that i was feeling pretty good and looking forward to the day ahead.
Lovey went off to get breakfast for himself while Kat and I tried to find something good to watch on the telly.
It turns out there’s fuck all on the tv at that time on a Saturday morning….unless of course you class kids skipping and dancing in an X factor style competition compelling viewing. We all sat and verbally abused everyone from 10 year old contestants to the judges….the general opinion being that they were all cunts.
Bets thing to happen that morning was the discovery that Kat and Lovey apparently both love porridge and cock. Lovey insists that Oats ‘o Simple is the way to go…Kat was less forthcoming on her porridge choice.
Met up with the Nomad lot and walked to the venue to get Kat weighed in.
At the weigh in managed to size up Kats opponent Claire Vagges,she was about 2 inches shorter than Kat and weighed in lighter despite having massive fake knockers. Good news as we’d expected her to be alot bigger.
Kat also managed to offend Bushido Challenge champion and Kayo MMA co-promoter Dave Lee by calling him a perv. In her defence she was kidding but he didnt really see the funny side….which Lovey and I found hilarious to say the least.
Got Kat fed,for some reason we never went to Nandos which I was quite gutted about, and went back to the hotel to chill and have some banter with the Nomads.
Lovey and I went off to the venue early as we wanted to get some training in,did some stand up rounds and a wee bit of rolling,think some people thought we were really keen fighters on the evening show,we explained we were just energetic idiots who will train anywhere.
Usual fight show pish ensused…rules meeting,medicals,checking out the cage plus some unusual stuff…pictures for tv,staredown kinda stuff and Kat being interviewed by commentator for some background knowledge. Pretty cool.
From there we met up with Trish who had made a heroic 6 hr train journey on a sunday to come to the show and then we went for food in a smashing restaurant in the centre….i had steak. it was awesome!
Went and got our shit together in our dressing room,turned out we were sharing with Nomad(which is good) and a couple of kickboxing plonkers(which is bad)
Wrapped Rosi’s fighters hands first which was handy practise for wrapping Kat’s as i hadn’t done it in a while,once i’d got my eye in though I was back to being the technician :D
Kat was on pretty late in the crad so we had plenty of time to chill…watched some fights and generally loitered about as per usual. Watched the kickboxing dude in our changing room warm up. His warm up was epic….bit of shadow boxing in the mirror,followed by chatting to Rosi for a bit,stretching his right leg really high,bit for chatting and topless shadow boxing. Awesome…pretty sure he got beat and fast. Really nice UFC t shirt though and business card with a Benny The Jet quote on the back
Went through all the warm up stuff we do,got her ready to go just as some runner comes through and tells us there is going to be a 20 minutes break….magic eh. Lovey was pretty pissed off by this and rightly so but not much you can do so we just tried to relieve the tension by bantering with everyone and keeping Kat chilled.
Think she was pretty nervous but she handled it really well. After what seemed more like 30 mins we were good to go.
Walked Kat down and into the cage,gave her one last quick pep talk and left her to do her thing. I won’t give you a full run down round by round on the fight as i get involved and always forget most of whats happened til i see it on video but Kat was ace.
Looked composed standing and was landing the better shots, the girl really pushed the clinch most of the fight but didnt really trouble Kat with it though would liked to have seen Kat be a bit more aggressive with dirty boxing etc
Kat took her down in the first, cut her with an elbow above the eye,the girk had a good guard but Kat did well to follow her hips and was never really in any trouble.
In the final round she landed some lovely straight shots and think had the girl a bit rocked at one point and either in the 2nd or 3rd landed some really nice gnp from half guard and i think the crucifix position. Looking forward to seeing the tape back so i can watch out without losing my voice from shouting :P
When the final bell went we knew she’d won a clear decision but it was still a relief to here it confirmed. Kat was delighted although the first thing i remember her saying in the changing room after was ” that bitch fucked up my nose”
One of many hilarious things she said all weekend.
