It was a Saturday in September, 2008. The weather was beautiful, quite typical of an early fall day in Montana.
But all was not well! Somewhere in Bozeman was a young man who was quite nervous. Not only did he have a mixed martial arts bout that evening, but he also knew that the love of his life would be there.
This love of his had so far denied him any reciprocal affection, but he thought that maybe if he fought well enough he may just be able to gain her love.
The fight started fast, with a flurry of kicks and punches. The young man was getting the best of his opponent. Body kicks, followed by uppercuts and a left hook, followed by two knees to the body.
But his opponent was smart and had had circled him and had the young man trapped in the corner of the ring. He shot in for a takedown but got stuffed and ended up on the bottom, at the mercy of his opponent’s blows.
The fight proceeded to the second round, and the young man found himself in the same position: underneath his opponent with his opponent connecting with one out of every 3 punches.
The ref almost stopped the fight when the young man’s opponent connected with a flurry of 4 punches.
The young man, covered in blood, knew that he had to regain his composure and win the fight. He waited until his opponent reached back to deliver another blow. He shot his left leg over his opponents arm, twisted his legs around his neck and squeezed tight the classic triangle choke to win the fight.
Afterwards, in the locker room, the young man looked at himself in the large mirror set up for the fighters. When he saw his bloodied, swollen face and crooked nose in the mirror he knew that he was far too ugly for any girl, especially his love, to fall in love with him.
But, to his delightful surprise, when he greeted the girl, his inner virtues shined through and she professed her love for him on the spot. They then made romantic love by candlelight all night long.
