Announcement: Fighting In Rough N' Rowdy 5

… is absolutely something I’d do if my elbow wasn’t still broken. But unfortunately after a very long day at the VA, I was informed that my Radial Head (wasn’t that a band?) is still jacked up.

If I was healed I’d be going after The Butthole of Kentucky’s Jared because we’re 32, both patriots, and I know his weak spot (the leg where his wife shot him on Father’s Day). Afterwards I would absolutely be partying with Jess “Welcome To The Jungle” Jessinia, who has become a beloved staple of the Rough N’ Rowdy circuit.

I’ve watched all of the Rough N’ Rowdy’s and – despite knowing jack-shit about boxing – have loved all of them. In a sport where being flashy & ‘extra’ is the norm, there’s something about regular folks swinging at each other in cargo shorts & New Balance walking shoes that appeals greatly to me. Almost feels like I’m back at the Marine barracks on a Saturday night…

I also have FOMO that I won’t be in Lexington for this Bluegrass Beatdown. The area is surrounded by colleges, fun bars, great music, good food, and I won’t be there when Barstool & a ton of wacky fighters (and some legitimately skilled & terrifying ones) invade it. So much excellent people-watching & poor life choices I’ll miss out on… sigh. Also, pretty cool that it’s taking place in a minor league baseball stadium.

Either way, I’ll be tuning in on the edge of my seat (old LaZBoy), most likely cracking up at the antics like always. If you want to do the same for 20% off order now!
