I need to vent to my Bros and Hoes

[ROCKETW19]

Some of you know today was suposed to be my pro MMA debut tonight. Well Its not gonna happen I had 1 guy back out 2 weeks ago they found a replacment but he backed out just before weight ins.
I sold so many damn tickets to all my friends I spent hours upon days and months getting the shit beat outta me I lost seirous muscle mass all getting ready to fight. Now there is no fight. I am very sad today and just wanted to vent a lil thanks for your time carry on.

You can vent all you want here man. That sucks though.

So, whats going to happen now?

Can your friends get refunds? I know that's not the most disappointing thing right now, but that could add to the frustration. Was there suppose to be any kind of prize for the winner?

[CrankinSteiN]

sorry to hear this bro! Hope you get your debut soon

Suposed to be no refunds but I told the promoter to fuck off My friends are driving 2 hours getting hotles to see me fight not some other fags.
Well that didnt go over well and caused all kinds of drama but I dont give a shit Friends come first in my book I will gladly take the heat.
I was getting 1K for the fight win or not but big deal I wasnt in it for the cash it was more to test myself. My trainer James Irvin (UFC) seems to think I have what it takes to go far so I wanted to see?

Thanks bro!
Now all I can do is go back to training and wait untill the next card In about a month or so. Its gonna be hard this whole thing took alot outta me. It left a very bad taste in my mouth.

They should still give you at least a percentage of the 1k.

LOL i agree but no way thoes fuckers are so pissed that I did not give them the ticket sales cash. Im not even sure if I can get in any legal trouble.
I will not burn them 1 penny but I want to make sure the guys that dont wanna come get their money back and the guys that do i will turn in that cash.
To me this is fair to them Its not. The contract said turn in cash or left over tickets at weigh ins.

You got irvin as your trainer bro, that's bad ass.

Ya Irvin is the head of the team but Tim Makinzie is the baddest dude on our squad. Hes making his UFC debut April 1st in Nashville. He was with WEC
We also has Scott Smith.

That is not cool. It sucks to work so hard and sacrafice so much and then have your goal taken by some fucking morons. I can only imagine how pissed you were. Pro-MMA is, from what I understand, a bitch to train for. At least you know all will eventually be well.

[wnabeabeast]

You must be one scary looking dude since you scared them just by showing up :D
On a serious note when you have your next fight date set I'd like to come up and watch you bro, I have cousin lives in riverbank so I don't have to pay for the hotel.
So stop scaring people. :D

[FitnessBrat]

Sorry to hear Rocket. I think things like that happen for a reason. You'll be back in the groove soon enough! :)

[bigbadexcursion]

this kinda shit happens all the time in smaller shows. I haven't done mma in over two years but even back then it was common. I pretty much stick to Jiu Jitsu tourneys and Combatives smokers on post

[Turbo3000]

Man that sucks, a lot of the guys I train with have that happen to them. How long have you been training? Do you train jiu-jitsu with a gi or do you only do no-gi?

Hopefully it won't happen to your next fight, good luck.
