For those who followed my stupid thread thrashing last year...

[Jon Watkins]

I will not be able to attend the Hoosier Open this year. The money just isn't there for me to make it. With prices of everything going up, I am more concerned with paying my rent and helping to keep the doors open at my gym. As much as it pains me to say, I do not have the money to back up my mouthing off. But I do hope to enter a submission only grappling tournament soon and I have every intention of posting the results.

Sorry if I offended anyone in my ranting. I was starving myself to make weight and my emotions were running high. But that is no excuse. My upbringing was better than to behave like that. Even if it was on the internet. Hopefully we can still be friends 10th Planet.

I saw nothing wrong with anything I've read of yours and especially nothing wrong with a little belief in yourself.

[Jonathan Wylie]

I have no idea what you are talking about Jon.

[Chris Herzog]

You son of a bitch!

[Scott Philips]

Haven't seen you in a while man. I feel you on the money situation. How you been?

[Enrique "Kiko"]

Well, I guess I don't have to kill you now =D.



j/k brother, takes a big man to say what you said, but I don't remember you really saying anything that was really out of line.

[Jon Watkins]

Well I dropped a name of a colored belt that I tapped out, made light of a legitimate tournament, and typed in a far too familiar tone with forum members. Of course it is just internet drama, but I feel it is time to hold myself to a high standard when it comes to manners.

Re: Scott Philips: I have been in good health, training 4 days a week at Summit City Submissions (we are now a Marcelo Montiero Affiliate), and frying chicken at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Good times!

Re: Chris Herzog: I miss you too, Chris

@10th Planet: It is probably about time I go pro on my account again. I will setup my Paypal again next week.

Welcome back Jon!
