Had my first ever Chief Cornerman experience. Friday night Dave Shoulders MacMillan one of my pro MMA fighters had a fight in Victorville CA, at Chaos at the Cage 2. Originally, I was going to be the 3rd corner but some things came about and in a pinch I became the lead corner. Considering that I have no experience with cuts, etc. and limited MMA experience (relative to the other cornermen) this was a new venture.
Well, nonetheless Dave went in and dominated the fight. His strength and conditioning combined with his skills and techniques were in sync. Besides the cut from an elbow which I must say I proudly closed (first time) he tossed the guy around like a rag doll and completely controlled the fight from the mount position for all 3 rounds scoring a clean sweep decision. If the other guy did not squirm so much we would have had the knockout, came close but the win and in such a dominating fashion was a great thing for Dave.
Back to the office today to keep working for his next fight!

Joe,
Next time, give me a holla...I'm pretty experienced as a cut man and wouldn't mind helping out, especially if you come over to any of the casinos in the central valley for a match.
Check my blog, I wrote about working the corner recently.
