Yo, lemme tell ya ’bout this fella, Thomas Peterson, he’s a tough one, that’s for sure. He’s in that MMA thing, where they punch and kick and wrestle each other in a cage. Kinda like chickens in a coop, but way meaner, ya know?
This Thomas Peterson MMA, he’s from the USA, they say. He’s a big boy, strong as an ox, I reckon. Seen him fight a few times on that there picture box, the TV. He can sure throw a punch, and he ain’t afraid to get down and grapple neither.
He’s got a record, like them criminals do, but this one’s for fightin’. It says 8-2-0, whatever that means. I guess it means he wins more than he loses. Eight wins? That’s a lotta fights. Two losses ain’t too shabby neither. Zero…must be some kinda tie or somethin’.
- He won 8 times, I think.
- He lost 2, I guess.
- That last 0 is a mystery.
I seen one fight where he knocked a fella out in just 19 seconds! Can you believe that? Just bam! And the other guy was down for the count. That’s what they call a knockout, I hear. Like hitting a fly with a swatter. Thomas Peterson, he was like a whirlwind in that there cage.
They call it Mixed Martial Arts, this MMA thing. It’s a mix of all kinds of fightin’ I reckon. They got boxing, like that Jimmerson fella, who used to box with a record of 33-18, he was the first boxer into the MMA. Then they got wrestling, and kickin’ and all sorts. It’s a real mess, but it sure is excitin’ to watch.
They have these events, where they all gather up to fight. Big crowds, lots of yellin’. One was called UFC Tampa, I seen that one. This Thomas Peterson, he fights in them UFC events too. Big time stuff, ya know. One time he fought a guy named Jamal Pogues, whoever he is, on February 3, they say. The fight happened, I don’t know what happened with that one.
One time, this Thomas Peterson, he did something they called a keylock. Sounds like somethin’ you’d do to a door, don’t it? But it’s some kinda hold he put on another fella. Made him give up, I reckon. He was fightin’ a fella named Chandler Cole. Musta hurt like the dickens.
They got all these names for things in that MMA. Like “heavyweight”. That just means they’re big fellas. Like them bulls down at Farmer Johnson’s place. This Thomas Peterson, he’s a heavyweight, they say. So, he’s a big’un. They also say he’s going to fight with someone name Shamil Gaziev at a UFC match. I bet that’s going to be a real doozy.
You can find out all about this Thomas Peterson MMA fella online, on that internet thing. They got all kinds of news and stuff about him. You can even see his picture. He looks like a tough customer, I tell ya. They got his “profile”, they call it, which tells ya all about him, like that ESPN.
One time, Thomas Peterson was supposed to fight a guy named Mohammed Usman. It happened at the UFC Fight Night. He won, I guess.
They got all these fancy words for what they do in that cage. “Str” and “Td” and “Sub”. I don’t know what they mean, but it sounds important. Like when the preacher talks about them bible verses. It’s all Greek to me, but I guess it makes sense to them fightin’ folks.
Well, I gotta go tend to my chickens now. But you remember that name, Thomas Peterson. He’s one to watch in that MMA world. He’s a real fighter, that one. Strong as an ox, and twice as stubborn, I bet. He’s gonna be famous, you just wait and see. He’s like that young bull down at the farm, always ready for a tussle.
