MMA Fighter Unfortunately Discovers True Love For First Time On Morning Of Big Fight

TERRE HAUTE, IN—In an unfortunate instance of ill-timing, mixed martial artist Pat Schrode finally discovered the feeling of true, unrequited love Saturday morning just hours before his fight with Kyle Hendrix. "You ask if I’m ready? I feel ready for so many things—I'm ready to love and be loved, I'm ready to be a father, I'm ready to trust somebody so much it literally pains me to think about life without them," Schrode said in a pre-fight interview, pausing momentarily to grab the hands of several reporters and "take in the moment." "I'm not worried about winning or losing. Think of what we could accomplish if we weren't so worried about winning everything and instead focused on being—being together. That's the kind of champion I hope to become." Hendrix won Saturday's bout with a 27-second knockout, in the process breaking Schrode's orbital bone, collapsing his lung, and displacing a disk in the love-struck fighter's neck.

 

Is that Amir Khan?

 

Sounds like unfortunately for him his opponent that night hasn't discovered that love yet.

 

that's a fake story. Come on steve, I'm beginning to think Free Ike is right about your thread opening abilities.

 

Sounds more like Victor Ortiz with the love of his life being Floyd.

 

It seems fake to me too

 

Seems fake? ::

 

I shouldn't be surprised a little subtle humour is lost in a group of cage fighting fans. Next time I'll post some 'Larry the Cable Guy' for you fellas.

 

Cage fighting is serious business.
