My brother's match
My brother had another match last night for the Omaha Fight Club (OFC) as he's working, I guess, to fight for the UFC. I went, along with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
fricknfrackfan, littlekfru, garnitas13 and a few other non-LJ friends. He was the 8th fight out of 10. I'd been really nervous/anxious about this fight because it was his second fight and the first one was over so quickly that it could have been a fluke.
So, we went to support him. He was amazing. The fight lasted longer than the first one and was pretty cool...I guess he dropped 10 pounds for weigh in because there was this guy that was talking smack to him so he dropped the weight to fight him. Chris, my brother, is a nice guy who never really talks bad about anyone, but he's also cocky and has a sometimes inflated sense of bravado. So, when the challenge was issued, he took it.
The video is in the LJ-cut below. There's a point that's probably a little confusing. Apparently, the ref stopped the fight because he thought he saw the other guy tap-out, for one, and for two, according to my brother, was afraid Chris was going to break his arm. Whether that last part is true or not is up to you. ;) But, that's why the fight stops briefly.
My brother's 2-0 now.

gnaritas13 took a much better clip of the finishing kick from our vantage point and I'll try and get it posted once I have it.
The fight was exciting, I'll admit, even though it's not really my thing. But I'm just glad it's over.
