ultimate fighting & MMA

this blog is super late, but i was just thinking about it today & realized i never blogged about it

on May 31st, curtis & i watched the MMA (mixed martial arts) fight - Kimbo Slice vs James Thompson....but for real, the most exciting fight that night was the pre-fight of Gina Carano vs Kaitlin Young....Gina is a Muay Thai fighter & just recently became one of the new Gladiators, Crush....i totally got into these chick battles!

i don't know why i enjoy watching these fights so much.....i've never been one to enjoy violence & i still cringe when they pull a choke submission or pin the opponent down & repeatedly knee/elbow them in the face (shouldn't that stuff be illegal?!).....but i guess it's partly because my hubby loves it so much & partly because it's so different than anything i'd ever do.....curtis REALLY wants to enter a local tough man competition and i'm not too fond of that idea.....he meddled in boxing/fighting before i met him & i know he'd do well.....but i REALLY don't want him to get hurt.....i mean, did u see what Kimbo did to James Thompson's ear?! ewwwwwwwww! and i've got to make sure that jaden doesn't catch wind of these type of fights - as much as he enjoys getting rough with daddy (sometimes even too rough for ma's liking), he'd be quick to want to be just like dad & join these things too! (don't worry - that won't ever happen on ma's watch!)
