Went down to London shootfighters one night, where i train regurlarly. Its a great place to train, though im very much just a face in the crowd. We have some elite fighters such as James Zickik, jean da silva and of course, Lee Murray. Plus Paul and Alexis the two main coaches are top draw.
So anyway, last night this kid turns up no ones seen before. Hes a big guy - looks like a bodybuilder - american guy, lots of bling bling. Walks in like he owns the place with his one of his mates.(prick)
This kid walks up to Alexis - says hes a fighter, hes 20 years old and sees himself in UFC within a year. Says hes come down cos he wants to spar. Alexis says - sure, u can after the warm up. And this kids like - nah, i dont need to warm up. Alexis says - you gotta.
The warm ups some tough conditioning, and this guy has gassed in about two minutes and sat off the mat. When the warm ups over we start doing some drills, but when we see this kid gloving up with lee murray were all watching. We all get shouted out for stopping, so we spend the next five minutes pretending to train - but every guy in the room is watching this kid and Lee.
So alexis says - ok mate, u can have three minute to start with. You need a mouth guard? Kid says - no, i dont need a mouth guard.
They kick of, and this kid comes at lee like a rageing bull - with no semblance of technique. Hes just street fighter style crazy aggression. Lee backing off and covering, evertually lee trips and falls into some chairs. Now this kid thinks hes won.
Lee gets up and they start again - its the same, this kid goes crazy again, and lee is covering. 30 seconds go by and the guys gassed. Lee then proceeds to knock the shit out of him until hes semi concious on the floor.
So now this guy dont want to fight anymore. Alexis is like - fuck that, your fighting 3 minutes, get your pussy ass back up. Its disrespectful to go crazy for 30 seconds and then quit cos your gassing and getting hurt.
So at this point no ones even pretending to train, were all just an audience. This kid eventually gets up after a lot of abuse, his pride is clearly hurt. He comes at lee like a maniac and gets the shit knocked out of him again for his trouble. And this kids calling time! time! While lee is still punching his arrogant face. Alexis evntually stops it, and trys to re-set, as they've only been going about 90 seconds. But the guy refuses to continue. I guess he knew that another 90 seconds with lee would probably land him up in hospital.
By the end of class this kid would have cleaned the shit off your boots with his tongue if you told him to. Props to him for not being knocked spark out. What can i say - if your gonna be dumb, you better be tough! And dont fuck with the London shootfighters.
remeber that lee?
