Andersson needed to get back on track so I accepted a fight offer from a relatively unknown MMA wrestler that would make his pro debut. If Gabe can't submit him, then there may be issues that we as a gym need to fix with him. He's lazy and doesn't care too much about his training, just does enough to maintain a beach body.
Also have Sammy boy fighting against a top contender in Bermudez. Winner likely goes for the title. Some mix between Arnold, Herring and Graves is likely.
Andersson started off the fight well, sneaking into a lunch to unleash some vicious knees to the mid section. Gabe avoids an uppercut but slips to the ground. Fuck! Chuy ends up on top, just where he wants the fight to be before .. He misses a wind up punch, and ends up in guard. He tries to pass, but our resident vegan stops him with a jab. --What in the fuck.
Gabe legit slapping Chuy! I never taught him to do that, I swear. They end up trading some solid blows, but I feel Gabe got the worse end of that physically .. Chuy had to be hurting mentally from those slaps.
"I ... I have no words Gabe, man. Just over power him and keep him occupied-- Don't let him get mount at all."
The mexican strikes true to the body but misses the power punch that he set up. Gabe isn't that great of a striker ,in all honestly and despite my numerous complaints about his diet and lifestyle, he is a natural on the ground and it is some work of art to see him work the guard the way he does. Gabe gets in a few punches along the way, and they maneuver well. He tried to get a leg free to pass Chuy, but the mexican has it locked well! Gabe expertly presses his foot against the thigh of Chuy to get his foot free--Masterful.
"Great work, but I think it's time you go for the submission. Hit him good, and hit him hard when you can. Don't panic."
Simple instructions, but Andersson has a way of screwing them up some how. They end up clinching after Andersson takes a few strikes, but Gabe has the initiative and unleashes some piston shots. Chuy loses his balance and they go to the ground with Gabe in mount, only for the Vegan to take an elbow right to the head for his troubles. This Mexican is doing a great job of avoiding Gabe's submission attempts, i'm quite impressed. In fact ... He distracts Gabe with a few shots, before slapping a Kimura onto him! I can see Gabe struggling to escape and getting ready to tap and ... The Bell Rings! I've never been more relieved in my life.

Gabe "Vegan Surfer" Andersson wins by Unanimous Decision
Gave has a LOT of work to do, but too bad I already know he'll skip training for the beach any day.
