I was having lunch with my instructor after watching some 7 odd hours of Mundials action when the subject of promotions came up.  You see, at our academy, we hold promotions twice a year.  We hold one following the worlds and then another in December.  We started talking about who was going to be promoted and the like when he implied that I was going to get promoted to a BJJ purple belt as well.

Befuddled, I anxiously asked, “Wait, you mean I am getting promoted too?”  He matter of factly said, “Yes.”  As if it was a forgone conclusion.

My mind raced, and every roll I had ever partaken in flashed before my eyes (I’m kidding); I began to tune out of the conversation.  I came back.  “Do I have to be promoted?”  I asked, still befuddled but now much more anxious than anything else.  “It’s time.  You’ve put in a lot of work.  You’re ready.  I can’t hold you back.”  Each of those statements said in a cold fuck-your-couch calculating manner.  (I could have picked a timelier phrase there and, perhaps, saved you all that confusion. But … no.  I miss Dave Chapelle.)

Metamoris 2 fight card finally announced and made public!

After the first Metamoris card, I knew this is something that I will be watching on a regular basis every time it comes out.  I may be more pumped to watch this than UFC pay per views now (and, trust me, I get VERY pumped up for UFC fights).

The last Metamoris jiu-jitsu event was done very well.  I think their team did a very good job of listening to the fans when putting Metamoris 2 together.  We have a jiu-jitsu fight card here full of fighters that always go for the jugular.  In case you live under a rock, or mountain for that matter, and you missed the first metamoris (shame on you) here is a nice highlight video of the action in the first metamoris: Read the rest
