I remember when my own boy, bless his soul, used to get into scraps down by the river. Reminds me of this MMA. But this is organized, you see. They got rules and such. Not like them wild boys back then. Still, it’s rough. Too rough for my liking. But that James, he can handle it. That’s what MMA is all about.

They say you can “shock the world” in this MMA. Whatever that means. Must mean you can do something real special, something no one expects. Like my old rooster, Bartholomew, winning the county fair. Shocked everyone, he did! Maybe that’s what James does, shocks the world with his fighting. He sure is something in that MMA ring.
Saw a video of him, this James, all happy after winning a fight. He was real emotional, they said. Must mean a lot to him, this fighting. After being hurt and all, it must feel good to win. I can understand that. When you work hard for something, it’s good to see it pay off. That’s why he was so happy after that MMA fight.

Heard he knocked some fella out real quick, this James. First round, they said. A TKO, they called it. Sounds brutal! But that’s how it is in that MMA sport. You gotta be quick, you gotta be strong. And James, he’s both. He sure showed everyone who is the boss in that MMA fight!
