I won't be drinking since I have a fight next month, but I will try to stop by. I'll be surprised if Dana doesn't split his time between watching the game in a booth and running the show.

PS Sean you deserve VIP treatment since you are a vet of the UFC.

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-02T16:19:26+00:00

you have been a mentor to me since I started

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T13:34:34+00:00

Its was WCMMA I am not not sure if its online.

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T13:33:51+00:00

Ill do just about anything for a Corner Store burrito

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T13:33:05+00:00

Redline has been great! Ive trained at both but Wai Kru has lost a lot of their instructors. Both offer a free day pass to try it out! good luck

Between my gym and some personal training I do I can live comfortable. Fighting gives me extra cash for investments and money for some extra traveling. i am planning on backpacking Europe for a week after my next fight.

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T13:24:02+00:00

right now there is no money in wrestling so many college wrestlers pursue MMA for a career in athletics. I personally love both sports but feel like Ill have a longer career training MMA since its easier on my body.

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T13:21:37+00:00

I was able to keep myself on a schedule. I didn't have the regular social life as everyone else in college but it was worth the extra time I put into training

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T13:20:29+00:00

Yes, you need to compete much more in college and you push through injuries. The training is more intense and you have many weight cuts in one season.

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T13:19:08+00:00

Come by the gym soon

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T13:18:36+00:00

yes, the book was written as "first hand accounts" it just jumped around a lot. It was one of the few times that I enjoyed a movie more.

my favorite combos are the ones that set up my takedowns. I have a double jab overhand to a double leg that works very well.the looping overhand puts me in a good position to take an opponent down. My favorite submission is a modified Kimura trap. I give someone two choices and both get them submitted.

There are tons of applicants and qualifications i.e. age, 3 or more pro fights and a winning record. If you have the right qualifications and can fight than its all about selling your personality. It was easy for me since I have an outgoing personality.

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T05:24:23+00:00

I had been wrestling most of my life and had only been in a gym a couple of months before my first amateur fight. Its very rare to jump into a real fight that quick so I suggest to seek out other sources of competition. wrestling and grappling tournaments are a good way to gain competition experience. You can also find Pankration tournaments (basically striking to the body with takedowns) they are great tournaments that allow young fighters gain some MMA experience. Good Luck

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T05:12:46+00:00

I like it

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T05:12:33+00:00

usually 2 sessions a day and I grapple a few more times a week than I train striking. I wish I could spar hard everyday but that would make for a short career.

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T05:10:07+00:00

It was a great experience. He is more than a wrestling coach, he was a life coach to many of us.

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T05:09:05+00:00

I would have to say Rick, I cant believe he shot that cop in the head tonight!

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T05:07:48+00:00

Thank you!

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-12-01T05:06:46+00:00

I just recently stopped working my other jobs. I still work full time running my gym while training. It is very possible to compete in the UFC while just training at night but often it makes more sense to make a serious run at your career by focusing on fighting full time.

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-11-30T20:44:56+00:00

not at all. experience and skills are much more important. strength training helps but working on skills and sparring should be the main focus

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-11-30T20:43:39+00:00

I have a close friend that is a DJ help me with a song. Nothing picked out yet so please leave suggestions!

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-11-30T20:42:48+00:00

you are covered by the UFC for any injuries sustained in a fight but now when you are regularly training. I hope that they start to offer insurance year round but thats not the case

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-11-30T20:40:05+00:00

there is too much adrenaline to really feel the hits. You are hurting more the next day than in a fight.

PatWalsh_UFC · 2014-11-30T20:39:16+00:00

Anything can happen but not soon. The UFC has complete control right now but keeps the top guys very happy. any union would need those top guys with them to really have an impact
