I know it is Eric's first MMA match but it seems to be quite a mismatch. I don't see how Cody could possibly hang wing Eric!

I am a huge MMA fan and I think it's great that Eric is going to fight. Also, What organization are they fighting with?
Has he been traning on striking and submissions? If he has, because of his wrestling credentials and all of his connections it seems like he could easily land himself a contract with a major organization.

Anyways, I will definetly be there to watch!

Good Luck

Why does Cody's name ring a bell? (no pun intended) did he wrestle in 4a a few years back?

jr. 2003 4A I don't think he got to wrestle

Chewbacca, I think I'm going if you want to road trip with me. Have to pick up a friend at the airport that is coming in other than that we can watch some whoopings.

I can't say I'd mind it either. After that brutal slam attempt by Swayz at State last year and costing us a point I want Swayz to have a chance at redeeming himself to his team for costing us a point. Go Swayz!
