Things could have been different had I not been raised in a cozy suburban home with loving parents.
The chances that I would have followed my early dreams of becoming a prizefighter would have been exponentially greater than what they ultimately were. You see, in the end, I did not have that very real hunger for competition outside of Muy Thai practice. Yes, I just dropped the fact that I took Muy Thai. I took BJJ, too. BOOM! This truth goes for a lot of the MMA fanbase, we want to fight but we don’t want to live the real consequences that come with actually getting in the ring with another living organic being.
