Update on one-armed fighter, Nemo Llewellyn.

Well where to start!! Since my last interview with BORN STRONGER my MMA career has moved on a fair bit starting with a 21 second knockout at cage control 4 on the 23rd of April and now to have a sponsorship deal with a name known in the MMA world  to where I am now, getting ready and training like a true spartan for my pro debut at Cage Control 4 on 30th of July.

Let me start by my fight at Cage Control 4, 10:00 on the 23rd April I stepped on to the scales and after not weighting my self for over a week I was happy to weight in at 236lbs although it meant I was giving away over a stone to James Woodruffe. I was third from last fight and the last fighter from my camp to fight, everyone else had won so it was down to me to make it a full 6 out of 6 for Team Spartan. I started to warm up and next thing I know I was being called out and my music started to play. Only one thing was in my head as I walked out I knew I had to win 2 loses in a row wouldn't be good enough, I couldn't let down every other fight with a "disability" it was my chance to show everyone that we can fight and we are fighters. Then the first bell went I come out with a inside leg kick and as i stepped back throwing a left hook landing both. Seeing his hands drop I gave him a head kick but only landing with my foot, but backing him up I moved forward and landed a body kick, then the clinch came into play and I got the Thai plumb made space and BANG flying knee to his noise braking it followed by another and 2 hooks to get the KNOCKOUT. Now reading this you more then likely think that his a bum fighter a nobody but this lad even unknown as a awesome kickboxing back ground and is a true fighter.

After this I was offered what I've wanted for year the chance to go pro do when I was offered a fight with the very very game and well rounder fighter mark Percival I couldn't say no!! Since I got offered the fight I've  hit the gym trained harder then ever and brought on a sponsor.

This is really a great sign not just for myself but also for every other "disabled" fighter out there all over the world that hit brick Walls every time they try and move on. The world needs to take us seriously and with more promotions like cage control teams like spartan mma and people like born stronger this can happen and it will so thanks to all that is standing up and helping us!

Finally some thank you's and these go to the following:

TEAM SPARTAN
BORN STRONGER
Monsterdiscovery.com

And all my training partners family friends and all those that are giving me and others in my shoes the chance to prove ourselves.

Much love and till next time remember we will fight anyone any where any time we are BORN STRONGER!
