Diary of a Fighter w/ Mike Hackert: Training with a purpose

Posted on 29 April 2012

It’s a great feeling when you can feel your cardio come along. I feel more invincible than I usually do……. and more cocky, confident, conceded, whatever; I feel good.

Posted on 27 April 2012

When you first put on the RYU Full-zip Fleece Hoody it will be like wrapping a warm blanket around yourself.

Today starts off my blogging experience for MMASucka.com. I’ve always considered myself pretty smart, although my grades in school wouldn’t necessarily show that. From the time I was four years old I knew I wasn’t meant to be some guy with an office job. You see when I was four, I took my first step [...]

Diary of a Fighter w/ Mike Hackert #5: Man i hate fighting!

Posted on 18 April 2012

After watching Nathan Swayze compete at AFC 8 this past weekend, the only thought going through my mind was why do I do this? It’s really scary. We put ourselves in a position where we have no physical advantage (especially in my case), have nowhere to run as it’s in a cage, which puts the [...]
