So, here we have it, ONE LAST DANCE...
It's something I wasn't planning on. It's something I never thought I'd do again after the recovery time it took from my last fight in 2017. A year and a half of various treatments, physio / acupuncture / cryotherapy / mri scans, and others after ruining my back during a fight.
However, Charlie and the team GCL FIGHT CLUB put this one to me. Initially, I said it doesn't excite and was very honest why. GCL pushed back and asked again. The same reply was that it doesn't excite me, BUT a chance for one more fight does as I never thought I'd be able to. They came back again and suggested it be for our show title if it needs more excitement to secure the fight, which I kind of took personally haha off my own back, not through anything they said as they're always super respectful.
It got me thinking, I wonder if they're seeing me an an easy opponent due to inactivity, due to the injuries I've had, due to the weight being far heavier than my "usual" around 76kg. Up until a few weeks back, I have not trained properly since 2017, but i have been managing either 2 or 3 sessions a week for the last 5 weeks.
Let's see how this unfolds. Like I said, the fight itself doesn't excite me, but one last dance does...
Let's go!!
