My secret to my own sanity

MMA. Thats what helps me blow off steam. Whether it's watching it, cornering, judging, fighting, or debating it, mma is by far my #1 outlet. A long time ago I heard someone say that one of the secrets of life is to have something to look forward to. Don't get me wrong, I love to come home, I love to hug my wife and kids or play with the puppies and those things are as fulfilling as could be. What I'm talking about is the pure primal satisfaction that I get from being part of mma with all of it's adrenaline, controversy, physicality and intense action. Theres nothing like being there when the main event is about to start, the crowds deafening screams as they pump up their fighter, the music is insane and you see two highly skilled bad asses as they enter the cage at a pinnacle in time ready to demolish the opponent on the other side. Seeing them unleash hell in a combination of controlled rage and highly evolved skills as they do everything in their power to prove to themselves, friends, family, and trainers that they are in fact the better man that night as they impose their will despite the best efforts of their opponent. It's truly a thing of beauty and it soothes me to have mma as my outlet.
