Hey guys and girls, I'm gonna do this blog in no particular order as usual, so I'll start by talking bout the thing thats on my mind right now...............my thumb. It's 6 a.m. in the morning and I have just been woken up by something throbbing, purple, and swollen. OK I know what you're thinking, "Jack it's a usual thing for guys", but this isn't morning glory. This is my thumb. Yesterday when I was rolling, I landed on my thumb and bent the end bit all the way back. At the time I was like ouch!!

Two World titles of Shooto and one South American title of Shooto were on the line, last Friday, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at Shooto Brasil 17 and the fights didn't disappoint.
