This will be my last post on this topic so bear with me while i sort out how to say what i truly want to say,first of all i never said anything i wasn’t asked of to say i did speak with both of my little brothers/team mates before responding to james’s invitation and codey himself has affirmed that with a member of vmac that trains with brent and made sure he understood it was there decision not mine i just got to be the poor bastard to relay the message while ignorance overood intelligence and lashed out at me,secondly myself and codey started this team and months later brought in logan because he is a great kid with a great passion to learn and an awesome attitude about this great sport if you truly know him or logan then you know me if you don’t know me then your speaking out of turn with no real knowledge of who we really are and what we really do.

Thirdly and i direct this to brent,i may night see eye to eye with your opinion and may disagree with your out look on some topics here i DO have a common respect for you speaking your mind and opinion in an intelligent manner and your age shows by how you present yourself and have stayed respectful even while disagreeing with me and know that’s not an old joke just pure truth,again as i stated saturday night a mistake was made at the end of your’s and logans fight but we are not dirty fighters and do not want people to make that assumption of us hence why i had no problem shaking your’s and james’s hand and saying that’s not who we are i didn’t regret that then and i damn sure do not know i would shake both your hands again at the end of that fight even after all this nonsesnse people have spewed at myself and towards our team.

Finally to everyone with something negative to say towards me personally i find it hilarious that you act like you know myself,or either of my brothas/teammates because we damn sure don’t know you. Tt doesn’t really bother me hate away haters make the world go round the more haters a person has the more they know they are doing something right with their life and are headed in the right direction.

We came in saturday and showed respect and let all the trash talk slide,we never said a negative thing about anyone coming up to the fights,you didn’t hear us on the radio talking about our opponents being out of their realm now did you? You didn’t see us putting articles in the paper downplaying our opponents abilities now did you? And you never saw us bashing anyone on a web page now did you? so that’s all i have to say on the matter and that is not a broad spectrum comment towards all vmac guy’s just a few bad apples it seems and that’s unfortunate.

Again good job to those who competed and to those who helped train and get there teammates/fighters ready anyone who has been in this game as long as myself(going on 7 years)and several others in this thread knows how hard and stressful it is,it is not what you see on t.v it is hard work,dedication and sacrifice anyone speaking that has never stepped foot in the ring is simply a monday morning quarterback in my eyes and just because your from valdosta and never heard of someone doesn’t discredit there abilities or who they are as a person so maybe next time a few people in this thread who i have actually heard good things about won’t be so closed minded.

Oh and to people in this thread that used multiple names for different posts to bash myself or the team codey and i started by pretending to be supporters you guy’s really should google what i.p address means and to the ones accusing me of trash talking? ahhh hell nevermind i got nothing else to say to them keep i think how i have approached this entire nonsesne of a situation shows my true colors as a person so please keep hating i appreciate it i wouldn’t be anywhere with out people like you.

you guy’s take care and to all the VMAC guy’s who are getting in and out of that cage good luck to you wether we all agree or see eye to eye or hell even personally like or dislike each other i wish you guy’s the best of luck and hope you stay healthy and get to your goals and dreams,you guy’s take care.

Ok grizzly, i dont know what the hell your damn problem is but you shouldnt talk shit unless you know what the hell is going on. First off, team darkside was NOT talking shit at the fight and they did not decline sensei offer for a rematch, that asshole andrew did without even talking to the guys before he came back and said no. So before you go running your f***ing mouth maybe you should learn the damn truth. And i never once saw any of those guys being disrespectful at the fight. I swear I thought all MMA fighters were suppose to be respectful and this aint nothing but a bunch of damn drama that doesnt fix anything it just pisses people off. I do agree with war machine, people do make mistakes. Hell if they didnt we wouldnt be in all the shit we are going through right now in the world.

Concerned citizen WTH are you talking about? Sensei Corbett not only thanked them for fighting but also stated that they earned his respect. Then he offered them the opportunity to fight for title belts. Are you kidding me…most people that get this type of opportunity have been fighting much longer than any of Team Darksides Fighters. Further there ARE rules even in M.M.A. unfortunately some people do not understand them as well as others. None the less they are the rules. Should a fighter be rewarded for violating the rules? Should a bad call by a ref be overlooked so he can make the same mistake again? These actions directly affect the outcome of fights and the safety of the fighters. It is easy for people to critique fighters and coaches but most of those doing so have no idea what it is like to do either job. Sportsmanship-sportsmanship refers to virtues such as fairness, self-control, courage and persistence. Good Sportsmanship requires all of the previously mentioned. Not a single person that I have talked to has blamed Codey for the refs call. Codey fought a good fight and did what he was suppose to do and all of us appreciate that.

This whole situtation is messed up.I myself have never heard of a reverse ref decision i thought once that call was made it stands seems to me you vmac fighters cant take a loss and be happy for the competition. You can only win thats bad sportsmanship and Corbett knows that. If he was a respectable trainer leader or what ever he considers himself he would instill better sportmanship into his fighters! Why would any one want to fight vmac if its all about you it benefits no one else the outcome would still be the same if you dont win somebody fouled you or bad ref decision! And you make your phone call and have it fixed it to your advantage thats pretty desperate and sad. In reading all this controversy i dont think anyone should want to be associated with vmac!

Why is it that if all these people disagree with what the paper says that not one of them take the initiative to correct it ….oh yea because its not that easy…the paper prints what they want its privately owned and sure as hell isnt controlled by VMAC. Simple minded people make simple minded statements…Bray101 after you get the paper straightened out could you get CNN and the rest of the worlds news to speak absolutely correct about every issue they report on.
