Drama on the road to the cage
November 12th, 2012 by Joshua Scott BeranisApparently because the event I’m fighting at is at the casino
where my wife works, there has been some drama. Someone who knows
me there was kicked out last night for bothering Theresa about how
they can’t believe I’m doing this. I have a bit of a reputation as
a mushy hippy Buddhist geek, and that reputation isn’t inaccurate.
I will always be more writer than fighter.
People need to understand something, and it is time I make it
clear. Yes, I am getting into that cage with the all out intention
of winning, and if I see the bout going south for me I will not be
going down without a fight.
Again, so nobody is confused, I am getting this under my belt in
order to improve how I cover this sport for the Kitsap Sun. The
goal, the ultimate goal, is to get more support from Kitsap for
these fighters. This is a great sport, and I don’t understand why I
cant be covering it every day. There is a huge fan base out there,
and legitimate atheletes for them to become acquainted with in
their own county.
Rob Ironman Cann, RJ Hoyt, AJ Webber, Carl Edwards, Kyle Cavazos,
Jake Blaski, Dusting Praxedes, and tons of other up and coming
talents. This is an exciting, even gut wrenching sport, that
deserves coverage to a highly technical and detailed degree.
That is why I am going in against Holcomb. He is from the old
school of cagefighting, when it was starting out, and has never
been in a sanctioned fight. He is tough as nails though. He once
grabbed a man by the neck and held him over a balcony for getting
fresh with my wife. Which is why she is so concerned about me doing
this.
But I need to. For a number of reasons I need to. I want this to be
what I do.
Its all about dropping weight now too. That and building leg arm
and abdominal strength.
