    I'm happy for Wink that things are going so well for him. Anyone that puts that much effort, passion and love into something, deserves to be successful.

    I watched this when I was 16 and couldn’t help but think it was an awesome story. Now I’m 22 and he’s my coach. Sometimes you gotta smell the roses, even if it’s in the RUclips comments.

    He needs to start his own championship fights, there is so much potential, he wouldn't be as greedy like people from the UFC unlike them fighters would be taking home more than pennies. We support all our fighters here in the duke city, we don't turn our backs on them if they lose... we want them to continue to grow and become the best they can.

    Good stuff but how old is this? Browne looks like a baby and Michelle Waterson has long hair..

    • @Sandman-ss7hr
      @Sandman-ss7hr 10 лет назад +1

      It's not that old. At 4:19 the guy in the white gloves was one of my friends in high school who introduced me to mma a few years back. He's changed enough for me to knwo this is probably less than a year old, a year and a half would be pushing it.

    • @imenmax
      @imenmax 9 лет назад +3

      At 6:49 Michelle says the fight's on October 6th. She fought Lacey Schuckman at Invicta 3 on Oct 6 2012. So yeah, it's probably a little over 2 years old.
