• The picture you see below was tweeted out by Fear The Fighter in September and we were told Frank would receive a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of these shirts. These shirts have been seen iused as walk out tees and people have in fact bought them. At one point I was told to send my address and a check would be sent. The next time i was told they are promoting the shirts to get better sales because initial sales were low. I am fed up and tweeted them today considering it is March 2nd and still no donation has been given from Fear The Fighter. It is one thing to have low sales however we here on the UG sold 52 creepy shirts and even that was something. Using my husband's name and cause to sell a newly designed shirt and donating nothing is downright wrong. I also won a Stefan Struve walkout tee back in October and what do you know I still have not received that either. I see Fear The Fighter representing many fighters and I tried to email and dm them on twitter however now in March and still nothing oh no it is time to let others know so maybe they will fix their wrong.  Sorry needed to vent I find this really upsetting!!

This is NOT OK!!! The full force of the UG mob will be unleashed if they do not make this right!

Yeah it is they ignored me all day yesterday now today I have tweeted them and will see what happens in the mean time I am going to research and pull together everything I need to make a thread dedicated to this to get answers. They are part of the MMA world and used #FranksFight to sell this shirt which they designed because of my husband and will be held to their offer to donate and at the time said they would use the shirts to get us to the 5,000.00 goal. At the time we were using Youcaring and that fundraiser had 34 days left on it so Fear the Fighter donation should have been made before the fundraiser ended however when I asked I was told to email my info and a check would be sent and yeah that never happen so asked again and then was told they were trying to sell more since original sales were low. Have since just yeah had enough so now I will go dig to find all the original tweets and such to show they renigged. Any who off to do my digging horrible when someone renbigs on a promis you never asked for rofl We are having a good day here and will be having taco dinner and family night monopoly i won last week thinking frank going to try to bury me this week lmao

Rofl omg what do you know Fear The Fighter just followed me on twitter which is quite hysterical since they used to follow me until i tweeted them about the donation a couple months back and I looked and they had unfollowed me. One thing I have learned about twitter is in order to direct message someone you each must follow one another. So months ago Fear The Fighter and I were exchanging messages because we both followed each other then they unfollowed me. I got smart this time I unfollowed them so they could not direct message me and try to keep it hidden from others. Now they follow me again for what oh yeah to see if they could quietly feed me more BS oh not not this time. Funny they followed me the whole time the shirts were being sold then started playing games once it was time to pay up well this will be settled in the open so all not just me can hold them accountable!! 

wow so I just go back and now I am unfollowed and still no reply to my tweet. Not sure what they think they are doing however following me shows me you got my tweet and unfollowing me and not answering me shows me you are hiding. Ok back to twitter land must find the original tweets and such in case I need them.

VTFU for updates.

Still praying for you guys!!!

I have created a new thread for this Fear The Fighter issue you can read it here http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=forum_framed.frame&thread=2141813&page=1

Ok so I received a tweet from Fear The Fighter today and seems they sold 14 shirts and will be donating allthe proceeds from those sales. I replied with the donation link in hope that this will be the end of this 6 month long ordeal. On another note Taco dinner was awesome and I won again at monopoly night wooohoooo Frank was eliminated and then me and my boys drained the bank however mom had the most money in the end hehehehe  to cool. Family nights enable me to walk away from the craziness in our lives as is the same for Frank. He is currently playing xbox360 with the boys and for me that is precious so quite a great end to a day. 

Fear the fighter made a 500.00 donation today and thanks to all that helped. Pescy thanks for the thread idea finally I got answers in the form of a tweet then a donation days later. It stinks I had to go that route but seriously why ignore me to then just make a donation could this not have been done earlier and to have a representative hop in the thread and tell me i was slandering the company wow. So glad that is all over with. 

So glad we are even closer to knowing what is going on with Frank. He has been cooking some great foods and so glad to see that back cause this chick was starting to starve lmao. He still has neuropathy problems and may for the rest of his life but seeing him be able to go back to cooking is a wonderful achievement.

Yeah missed Frank's doctors appointment because of it and its frustrating because you wait months to know then have a storm hit it just sucks. Doc was supposed to call him with results but what do you know he did not so we will have to wait another week until Frank's next appointment. Really upsets me that doc would not think to call or make sure to get back to Frank knowing the only reason he missed appoointment was storm. Anyway it still wasa good day Frank's friend let us borrow car however we shoveled it out and cleaned it for it to um yeah look good aha it was fun though me and michael shoveling and frank was in the car running it to help with snow letage lmao. So we get through the rough parts but i tell you someone needs to advocate for cancer patients that sit waiting for results and doctors feeling as if its nothing to wait longer. The mental stress alone for me is at times frustrating to say the least and I am not the one with cancer so it just amazes me to see the things patients deal with mentally. Anyway Frank made a great dinner and all is wellin the house today ;) How are you doing?

Glad to hear they followed threw on what they said they would do ... Ironic though that it happened so quickly after you made this thread. Never really have been a fan of Forced Apologies... But glad it can be put to bed.


Super stoked to hear frank is back in the kitchen ... Let me know if you want my shredded beef Tostada recipe.

get a Yellow Can of EL PATO spicy tomato sauce, get a roast or tri tip, sear both sides of meat in big pot, add can of El Pato, some kind of season all and enough water to cover the meat and then simmer for 4-6 hours(add water if needed) take fork n shred meat, serve in Hard or soft tacos, tostadas, burritos or tortas, also good to put in enchiladas.

Enjoy

Fear the Fighter...? 

No.

Fear the Wrath of the UG Mob.

Recovering from jetlag (and a stomach virus that waited until AFTER I got back stateside before revealing itself!), but I plan on posting auctions of the autographed Chael, Dana and Serra originals this week. At least 70% will be headed your way once again, Frank and Wendy. I'll post a thread once I have them listed and hopefully we'll get some bids!

Dojo as always thank you and hope you feel better soon. Glad your trip was good and yes I will be putting on the facebook today all the auctions and stuff got some catching up to do myself lmao.

mmmmm Tapatio

This was taken from the facebook page.

UFC Fighter Chris Camozzii continues to go above and beyond for Frank. He has put Frank on his shorts, and banner for his upcoming fight this Saturday. Frank had to sign a release form for this to happen and that in itself was a memory as it was a first for Frank. Ingrained Media was so helpful and fully on board for this and my dealings with them have been nothing short of amazing. I will be creating an album with all pics for all to see before the fights. Chris has been texting Frank since the beginning and helped Frank through many treatments with just texts. We cannot wait to watch Chris this Saturday for UFC 158 If you watch the UFC keep an eye out for #FranksFight something Chris decided to do on his own and something we are so very grateful for. Spreading the word is the most important thing. Please support Chris and Ingrained by liking there pages.

***UPDATE***

Catscan showed two new nodules in Frank's lung however Doc said these are to small to biopsy and could be from a fungal infection so we will have to wait and see. All Frank's other enlarged lymphnodes did get smaller so that is a plus however they are not normal size so this may be a concern later down the road however nothing to worry about this moment. We go back to the wait game however as the doc said it would be foolish to jump into another round of high dose chemotherapy at this point. He believes and Frank agrees that waiting to do another catscan and seeing if the nodules have gotten bigger is the smartest way to go. So Frank will be free from having to go to Boston until the end of May however he will have to now once a month check with his regular oncologist to watch his tumor markers as we go forward until the scans are done. For us this is a great day!!! Although we still have no idea if the cancer is still there we are happy with finding "something" out today.

That's good news, Wendy! Thanks for updating us!

Also, I got the pens and keychains and I've been giving them out at my academy. We've got a seminar this weekend with Black Rob (Renzo Gracie Hoboken instructor) and I'll be sure to give him some #FranksFight shwag and let him know about you guys (if he doesn't already!). :)
