What got you interested in MMA

I grew up playing soccer and had a die hard passion for the sport and i squandered my opportunities of playing D1 ball after high school. I played rugby at St. Louis University and established a passion for sports again and throughout the time of attending college to present day my fascination with MMA intensified. Anytime I would watch the paperview events or would picture myself fighting, I would get goosebumps, as corny as it sounds, I figured that maybe it was a sign that it should be a path to pursue seeing the only other sport that would do such was soccer, and I know how far I could have gone with that sport had I been committed. Now being involved with MMA there are no could haves, its a matter of time
