I was a very active kickboxer and MMA fighter for years and came back to compete in grappling again at 52 after winning a battle with cancer... I have competed a since 52 with over 250 matches..

My high and low points in the comeback came at the same event.. I was competing against a really big guy Morgan Mainze at Submission Underground 3 and completely dislocated my shoulder finishing off an old injury.. Doctors say I need shoulder replacement but I am ignoring them because it is over a year layoff and the prognosis for coming back from complete replacement is not good I pan on getting it fixed when I can't compete anymore..

I was so depressed after the event it was crazy as I thought I may be done and it took me over an hour to get out of the building with people wanting to talk and take pictures with me ant tell them how I inspired them and how much it motivated them to do something... Imagine being told doing what you love and having fun helps others it was such a cool feeling..

Got 3 clips from the event..

The interview was cool and he is actually a good guy he came down and checked on me afterward and asked if I wanted to hang out that night unfortunatly I couldn't but he took the time to call and check on me a couple days later
