Fight Offer

[Brett Sbardella]

Hey guys, just wanted to fill the 10th Planet fam in on what's been going on lately. Yesterday I was offered a Main Card fight on AXS TV for the XFC against UFC Vet Ryan Thomas. It's a high caliber fight, and also the first big opportunity I've been offered at my actual weight class. (170) - Still up in there about it given the date & purse.

Just wondering what everyone thought. Anyone ever train with him? Seen him work live? Any insight would be helpful.

Who's your MMA coach? Are you entirely out there by yourself? If so, speak to your "sponsored instructor" for your hotbox and see if he has any incite. These types of decisions need to be made between a fighter and a coach that personally knows his ability's and what he's ready for.

Awesome opportunity :-)

I'm not letting a forum decide for me lol just wanted input. With so many actively posting on here, maybe someone had trained/rolled with him in the past.

Regardless what you decide, I got your back!!

[Brandon Mccaghren]

Worst case scenario: you lose and gain some massive experience while learning what the next level feels like.

Do it.

Also, I believe Ryan fought Ben Askren a couple of times in Bellator. Check those videos for some scouting.

[Scott Yockel]

Do it man, you have just as much of a chance to win as he does!

[Kurzy]

I think you should too Sbardella. You are tearing things up right now and you only live once bro.

Def talk to ur trusted coach, ask any training partners u have who know ur game well. I would concur with Eddie and Kurzy u only live once, it could serve as a good springboard. Best wishes!!!
