Ray's Second Fight was Last Saturday.....

Ray's second fight was last Saturday Sept. 8 in Warsaw at the Wagon Wheel. He was the sixth or seventh fighter. He fought in the 170lbs. weight class. He did lose, but the promoter and people who came up to him said their fight was one of the best of the night. It went into the third round, the ref. called it, in the middle of the third round. My guess is, if the judges had to say the final decision, it would be a close call!! Ray definitely won the first round. I thought the ref was going to call it, he was punching the crap out of his guy. The second round, I thought was a draw. They both were wailing on each other. Ray said that round was the round, the guy kicked him in the temple. The third was the other guys round, He dominated that round, Ray pretty much gassed out in that round. I was so nervous, I always miss half the fight, worrying about whats going to happen, and trying to get good pictures for him.

This head to head picture is awesome!! I took it, but didn't know it was going to turn out like this. When I reviewed it, I was excited. I think it says the whole intensity of the fight. I took the same picture of Bob and his opponent. Bob lost his fight also. It was judges decision. Bob is more of a boxer (actually he is a good boxer), so when the guy takes him down, he doesn't have the advantage.

The last picture is Ray taking down his guy and I am pretty sure that is the first take down in the first round. Ray did awesome and he wasn't to disappointed in the outcome. I think he knew, he messed up on a couple of moves and he gassed out at the end. He was excited to learn that their fight was one of the best of the night.

He is now 1-1 on his Ultimate Fighting venture. Several years ago he fought Submission fighting which is a little different. Not sure what his record was for Submission. They are trying to put on a fight here, sometime in October or November. He may have a fight in Texas in November. He's pumped and already training for the Texas one. They are trying to put together a fighting team to go down there.
