A Fighting Spirit: New York MMA fighters remember 9/11

Ten years ago ... I just was a kid in middle school ... when I first heard the news ... I thought it was a bad joke ... but as the day went on ... as reality set in ... it was still unbelievable ...

Even now ... ten years later ... there is still some disbelief there ... but I remember the courage of the men and women who were there ... who charged straight into a storm that many of them would never come out ... yet they gave us all hope ...

Let us all honor their memory ... and send out prayers out to those who were affected by this tragedy ...
