Post MIMMA and 1st Semester of LLB

I am back.
Maybe for a while. So, update time.

Let's start with LLB.
Not really a great start.
Received quiet a surprising news/info.
But I try to not let it bother me to much.
But, as much as I try not dismiss it, it did bother me a bit.
I was always thinking about it the whole semester.
So, study was okay apart for me having to repeat 2 subjects next semester.
Which is a bummer, considering I did okay, minus for the tests, which I blame for myself.
So, for next semester, I'll have to tackle 11 subjects, so there.

Then, come MIMMA, or the Malaysian Invasion Mixed Martial Arts tournament.
I dreaded this for one single reason, it's in the middle of my LLB course.
So, I had to divide training time and study time, and it is hard when in LLB.
Thank god that I had understanding firm mates.
So, one month after qualifying for the ladder match, I had intensive training everyday.
I sparred every single day. I even cried. I had pushed myself to the limit every single training session.
So, comes the day of my first ever proper MMA fight,
and I was fighting Derrick Ee, a Wuji MMA practitioner.
And I was scared shitless even before stepping into the cage.
I saw his picture during the tryouts and OMG, he was ripped to shreds.
I was super scared that I would get knocked out but one week before the fight, my training partners had prepared for me mentally for the fight.

On fight day, I was thankful that my trainer and training partners were there to be my cornerman.I was so touched and that pumped me even more for the fight.
So, right after my trainer give me some tips and encouraging words, I stepped into the cage, and this is how it went:


So, yeah. I won via armbar, which is a total surprise to me, considering that I was getting hit in the face 90 percent of the time. Here are a few pictures from the photographers at the event.

So, I qualified for the quaterfinals and let me keep the quaterfinals story short, I loss. The end.

So, what happens now?
Currently, because of my results in LLB, I had to leave the world of MMA behind for a while.
But, I promise I will return.

I WILL RETURN.
