Legends Fight

This weekend World Team USA is throwing their annual fight card for those of you in the bay. The fights are held at the Asian street festival. The festival has a ton of good food trucks parked hawking their wares.

This year there will be a handful of local pro fights, and some good local amateur fighters. The card hasn’t been displayed yet but is including Miriam Nakamoto versus Sandra Bastan, and Ky Hollenbeck versus Cyrus Washington. MMT friend Malia Spanyol will be fighting along with her stablemate Keri Taylor.

Born to a working class family in rural New York I grew up working like a dog and drinking Natural light in the woods. After a brief stint attempting to escape the poverty of employment via university I gave up on escaping the grind and moved to sunny California where the burritos are as generous as the weather. I work in the service industry slinging booze and food. I got into Muay Thai as a recreational activity. I saw an interclub fight and decided to try it out, everyone has to test their mettle somehow. A few fights and a year later I was in Thailand training, and fighting. I haven’t quit stepping into the ring since. I currently live in West Oakland and balance my time blocking punches with my head with attempting to prevent brain deterioration through writing, studying Thai; language, culture and history, and going to wild dance parties with my friends.

Was it really necessary to add MMA to this kind of card?

Wow pretty cool venue, I wonder where they’re gonna put the ring? I guess in the main chamber by that big ass stairwell?
