What up my UG homies?? :) A feature story on my MMA journey, weight loss & Invicta Fighting Championships debut was aired tonight on a mainstream television program during prime time!! This is obviously awesome for Australian MMA which is still struggling with negative preceptions in this country... but also awesome sauce for WMMA & myself!! The story ran on "The Project", which is a hugely popular night time show here & featured footage of my home life, training life & fight with Carla Esparza.

It's easily the most positive & exposed piece that the media has ever run on MMA here so I'm absolutely stoked :) Big ups to both Nick Johnson & Arron Pegson for capturing & uploading this for me... they are actually forum members here as well!! Enjoy & looking forward to entertaining you all in April :)

Edit: I guess I can let you all know now that I'm fighting 5-0 Jasminka Cive from Austria at IFC 5 :)

I'm from Brisbane too, but missed the project special. To be honest, I initially hated wmma. It represented the fairer sex being brutally ko`d and bleeding. I did fear that mma constantly walks on a knifes edge with regards to mainstream acceptance, and imagery of a beautiful girl being brutalized on live TV would kill the sport for everyone.

However because of rousey and you, I decided to purchase the invicta ppv. I was very impressed.. Your intent to engage with clean hands was an eye opener.

Good story considering they shit-canned MMA last time and went the 'human cock-fighting' angle. Phone Post
