Words With A MAD Coach

The 13th Warrior

Watching this movie shows me so much about what happens in the minds of high-caliber athletes.

MAD Storm / Stealing Your Content

Today, I use AI and social platforms to read between the lines—studying how people show up, how they’re perceived, and where their potential actually lives. I turn scattered posts and signals into structured insight, written pieces, and social narratives that reveal the story beneath the content.

Below The Surface is a Human Being

Fight For It 26 / John Cena

Fight For It 26 closed with a main event that was equal parts technical clinic and car crash, as Dee “The Revenant” Reddick earned a unanimous decision victory over the ever-durable Gabriel “Crazy Oz” Brown in a three-round professional battle that felt exhausting just to watch. On paper, it was a clash of two wrestling-based fighters. In reality, it became a striking war layered with clinch chaos, grappling tension, and constant momentum swings.

Thank You

To the athletes of Fight For It 26,
Thank you—for choosing to step forward, to prepare, and to compete. Long before fight night, the work was already done. Early mornings, late nights, sore bodies, quiet doubts, and relentless repetitions brought you here. The fight is not the beginning—it is the reward for everything you committed to long before the cage door closes.
To the coaches and teams, thank you for your guidance, patience, and belief. You shaped more than game plans—you shaped confidence, discipline, and composure. You were there when no one was watching, holding the standard, reinforcing the process, and reminding your athletes who they are when fatigue tried to speak louder.
To the families and loved ones, this moment belongs to you as well. Thank you for your patience, your sacrifices, and your understanding during camps that demanded time, energy, and focus. Thank you for carrying the weight quietly, for supporting dreams that required absence, and for believing even when the road felt long.
To the fans, whether you’re in the building or watching the stream—thank you for showing up. Your energy, your attention, and your passion are what turn preparation into purpose. You are not just spectators; you are part of the experience, part of the memory, part of what makes this night matter.
To every fighter stepping into the cage:Your identity is not defined by a win or a loss. It is defined by your willingness to prepare, to test yourself, and to perform when it matters. You win by stepping into the cage. You win by honoring the work. You win by giving a performance worthy of the journey.
On fight night, fight freely. Fight with intent. Fight with pride.The preparation is complete—the payoff is here.
Respectfully,Fight For It & Co.

MAD Storm / Fight For It 26/ Osvaldo Gonzalez

The MAD Coach goes off topic a lot in this one, but somehow brings it all full circle.  It's about the P4P listing, FFI 26, and so much more.

Pro wrestling is becoming increasingly influenced by legitimate grappling and MMA skill sets. Many modern performers are not just entertainers — they're hybrid athletes who train BJJ, wrestle, and grapple to keep their styles authentic and adaptable.
