Jesse Lund week 7 blog

With less than a week left before I step into the cage, I feel I am more than ready. Training has been going great and now it is time to get mentally focused. Getting mentally prepared for a fight is one of the hardest things to do. Everyday is a game of what may happen, how will I react, and what will be the outcome. I always say the day of the fight that it is 90% mental and 10% physical. If you go into a fight with any doubt at all, you will loose. This is not the time for second-guessing or questioning you ability to fight. It is the time to realize that no matter what happens, that you have done everything you can to prepare yourself and that you will apply it without any hesitation and come out on top.

MCC Trials III, Stars on the Rise

October 10, 2009

Midwest Cage Championship held it’s third amateur MMA event to seek out the next big name in the fight game, and several fighters showed up to earn their shot for a spot on the MCC roster.  MCC co-owner, Ryan Hass noted, “When we were putting the event together we had ten fights scheduled, but we kept getting more and more interest from fighters, so we ended up with fourteen fights.  We had enough fighters to put more on, but we only have so much time to work with.”  Fighters from all over the Midwest showed up and put on performances worthy of getting their invitation to the Midwest’s top promotion.
