Good God You Know Who have been finally stripped..just like Jimmy Smith said on JRE MMA show, no one will ask you to fight anymore if you don't fight for a long time.

I think transcending is a natural process really but I can't stand people acting in condescending manner just because they practice the latest most effective thing. I'm ok with grappling. I said somewhere before that if wrestling is big in Myanmar, I'd have became a wrestler too.

Danaher's podcast was the second JRE podcaat that I fully downloaded after Cruz one. Joe Rogan is the man for sure. His podcast with Woodley showed Tyquil's cerebral side.. P.S: I'm puzzled with that Carnivore Doc's episode.. why did it get a lot of flak? Dude's achievements sound like he made them up, but they are legit like nuclear missile job lol.. though I'll stay omnivore because of the state of my country.

I thought of it of course but the problem with using an original character in a fic means you can't go for light hearted jokes like I did before in Stipe vs. Francis but instead for more drama because the audiences are more likely to attach themselves with the real established characters rather than these new characters.. So you have to develop a character arc for you OC so the audience can get behind him or her.. also using OCs in established universe can run the risk of in those OCs coming off like an author's avatar and being a borderline Gary Stu/Mary Sue (Rey from SW.. cough cough). So, if I were to create a new character it would be safer and more contained to just create a new universe for them... I hope you understand what I'm explaining.

Here's my opening of Rockhold vs. Romero... still in progress..

“Ok, that’s enough for today,” said the coach of Blackzillians,”you did great Volkan.. and you too Luke.”

“See ya tomorrow, Luke,” Oezdemir smacked Luke gently as a friendly gesture before he prepares to leave.

“Be careful, Volk. I have a fight in Down Under for the belt, you know.. ” Luke responded nervously.

“Ha ha ha...!! I know my power, Luke, don’t worry. I know you are injury prone like your AKA teammates.. So, when’s Cain fighting again?” the Swiss man asked.

“Not sure,” Luke replied slowly, “They did try to make him fight Stipe though. Too bad, Stipe got beef with the higher ups at that time to agree with the fight and now he has to fight the Sandman now instead.. Ha Ha ha ha!!”

“That Cameroonian is legit for sure.. you know, I wanted test myself against him after he and I both won the title as a first ever Superfight of Heavyweights, win or lose, you know. But first, I need to beat DC decisively for sure,” said the determined Oezdemir. “So, Luke, you said DC loves to grind his opponents against the wall right? Well, that would be his greatest mistake as I will show him in the Octagon that I sleep people from the clinch too..” Volkan continued, “So, you said you got your game down too right? Grappling that kangaroo out is your plan, am I right?”

“Heck yeah.. I’m going to stick to my base and show the world that I’m a BJJ guy who’s a stud on the ground… I’m really pissed with that mobile UFC game labeling me as a Striker.. A Striker!! Seriously??” angrily exclaimed Luke that boomed in the almost empty facility..

“Yeah, you show them for sure.. See ya next session Luke,” the Swiss man bided his farewell….

/////////////

“Hey there, Luke.. come over here. Let’s work on the clinch, man,” enthusiastically called Volkan to Luke who was somewhat spacing out on his practice.

After a brief session of clinch work, Oezdemir realized something was wrong with Rockhold… Something must have happened that greatly disturbing his new teammate.. So, No Time wasted no time and started a conversation…

“What’s the matter Luke? Another girl left you.. ? So I guess bigger is not always better in bed?” asked Volkan and Luke replied weakly, “Ha ha ha.. good one.. but not that Volk.. it’s just about my fight..”

“You got this Luke, you know. I mean you got the game down.. the striking, the takedowns, the submissions… Oh no.. don’t tell me you are hurt.. Hey man, it was just a friendly pat on the back.. Don’t make me worry before my fight Luke” said the confused Swiss man.

“No no no, I’m fine.. it’s that freaking Aussie.. he was declared medically unfit to fight and.. and now I have to fight Yoel for the Interim belt… I know.. I know. I agreed to fight Romero.. I want my strap back.. I want to undo my mistakes of the past… I really mean it!” replied Luke.

“Yoel?.. That Cuban dude? He sure look explosive you know…. Though he seems to low on gas..” wondered Volkan..

“Did you see what he did to Weidman? Did you see how he fucked up Whittaker’s knee early on that fight? I have a long history on knee injuries.. like my AKA teammates… I’m really in the middle with it now, man.. One part of me is confident that I’ll beat that old wrestler for sure.. but the other part of me is also screaming out, to be honest…that’s why..” nervously Luke opened up..

“…”

“So, at least, it’s not Bisping on short notice, you know” said Oezdemir…. *Cue death glare from Rockhold*

Somewhere on the shores of Australia, the current UFC Middleweight Champion was staring at the sea… and fondling his knee as he sighed with faint traces of regret…

How did this happen? Where did it go wrong? .. He doesn’t believe in destiny.. He believes in his fighting abilities that can overcome the odds.. No matter what the fans like to label him.. his belief in himself allowed The Reaper rose above the adversities.. But what now?...

Fate is funny sometimes… Like a year ago, he was knocked out by a karate trick pony.. then he ascended the Middleweight ladder rapidly on his way towards the UFC gold… But then he had to take on the top contender in the form of accomplished Olympian wrestler in Yoel Romero.. The man is old and he was also determined to win the strap too. The wrestler threw everything he can take and the future champion took them all and persevered… denying the old wrestler the chance to get the gold..

Since then he was the interim champion.. . Almost a month ago, he has become an undisputed champion… and now.. he missed the chance to have his maiden title defense on his native soils… Being unable to do what he loves to do hurts the champion the most…. And now.. the person he had just beaten was filling in for the Interim belt again.. as if fate was punishing the now champion for cheating them by beating this Cuban through a knee injury… Fate, indeed, is funny…

“… I guess you are fated to this after all.. Soldier of God..”

The press conference went on as usual with fighters trading shots against each other and many armchair analysts giving their prediction of what might happen in the fight, sometimes with ridiculous, though funny, hyperboles like; No Gay Jesus by Cuban Missile Knee, or Luke by Lazy Jab and such.

“But my point is.. anything can happen in a fight.. I mean.. it’s hard to see what’s truly coming until it happened to be fair..” said Joe to his usual clients Brendan “Yes-man to Joe” Schaub, Bryan “I’m not gay” Callen and Eddie “Mr. Edge” Bravo on his podcast..

“I agree Joe,” confirmed the Yes-man Schaub, “You think Luke would floor Bisping?.. Nah..Kadoosh!! Bisping KO’ed Luke with a left hook.. I mean as if the MMA Gods were punishing Rockhold for getting to arrogant.. it’s crazy. But I’ll tell you that.. this fight with Rockhold and Romero is a drawl fur sure..”

To be continued...
