Funny MMA Memory: Two days before my Craig Hudson match, I was supposed to meet my coach Vlad at our gym to hit pads and review some techniques. I brought in an Air Cast that I have had for years and had told everyone at the gym to say that I broke my leg a day prior, and I had ignored Vlad’s texts, Facebook messages and calls for the last 24 hours. SO I put the cast on, and patiently waited for Vlad to come. I had two guys at the front tell him that I came to Muay Thai the day before and I was being an idiot and going hard on people and broke my leg. So I see Vlad coming around the corner and I come out of the washroom limping with a cast on. I walk up to Vlad and the closer I get to him, the angrier he’s getting to the point where steam was coming out of his ears and nose only to tell him I was joking. The whole gym broke out in laughter, including myself. Vlad on the other hand was not so happy. Sorry Coach.
