Journal. Free Write. McGregor vs Aldo - Portfolio

           
           


    There is a storm brewing in the MMA Community. A historical fight is months away between two featherweight combatants. The brighter than life brash cocky Irish man, Conor McGregor; the challenger. The reigning featherweight champion, A fighter who hasn't lost for nine years, a fighter bred from the streets. Jose Aldo. There is a lot riding on this fight if you're an MMA fan. A lot of bragging rights.
      A clash of fan bases have already begun even though the fight is close to six months away. Either you're a part of the brash fan base of Conor McGregor. The same fan base who has dubbed their fighter the "GOAT", he is praised as the almighty and the second coming of Ali within the MMA community. The opposing fan base stands behind Jose Aldo. Aldo is the greatest featherweight in MMA history, and will soon be the greatest MMA fighter of our time.  In the end whichever fighter comes out on top. The fan base of the losing fighter will never hear the end of it.
      The match up, Aldo is a cunning extremely fast and explosive tactician. The most technically sound fighter on the planet. With stellar head movement and angle cuts equipped with hands as fast as lighting. Conor McGregor is massive featherweight with extremely accurate shots adding to his insane amount of stopping power. In the end I believe Aldo will have his hand raised. A quick run down of why I believe so.
        Aldo is an undefeated fighter of nine years, McGregor is just beginning his fighting career. Aldo in his Prime of it. Conor has never fought someone with angle cuts and hair trigger headmovement.  I believe when Conor realizes he can't back Aldo up against the cage to do his best work, Conor is going to look very vulnerable. Aldo's head movement, explosive 1+2 leg kick combo and foot work will eventually bring the giant featherweight down with his fan base.
     



   

Lyric Poem - Portfolio

                                               

I am a Wrestler
I train very hard
For what it seems as little gain
When my feet hit the mat
They cut through the air like a bird


A roaring crowd
But only silence
Only one can emerge
I am that one

The pace is pushed
Cutting through my opponent like dust
Breaking whatever will remains
I stand atop the throne
With my hand in Victory

Journal 7 - Childhood

   I believe children are being  overly protected and isolated from the outside world. Society Social agenda has shifted rapidly from 40-50 years ago. A rapid change doesn't mean necessarily "good". The rapid change goes hand and hand with children being overly protected. Society and the world has become a very dangerous place. Caregivers are paranoid of this. With the fact that children are treated as extremely innocent creatures. In turn caregivers are overly protecting their kin. Children need social lives growing up, it is a must. A child needs to be exposed to the outside world, but they must be educated about the world. We should stop overly protecting our children but instead educate our children about the world outside. Overly protecting them only has negative effects. Every child needs to have a social life. Social aspect of society is one of the largest parts of developing. If not the most important. It shapes a developing person. I believe protecting children from that can only hurt a child growing up.
