Fighting It Is....

Just got home from the specialist and he said my nose requires surgery to repair. I have a deviated septum and the nose is in pieces. I will have surgery in the next couple of weeks and will need about 6-8 weeks to heal.

The Doctor told me he wouldn't worry about making the nose look pretty since I am a fighter and all. Fact is my looks are what got me signed with Zuffa :) had I not been fighting I would of been in that fashion show in Vegas.

I wanted to thank my trainers and training partners you guys are the best. My sponsors Muscle Pharm, Full Tilt Poker, Carnaldammage.com, Warrior Wear, XYIENCE, MTX Audio and everyone that supported them.

Comment by Bubba &Michele Hardin on March 10, 2009 at 9:18pm: We still have'nt got to see the replay of the fight yet, but nothing could compare to seeing you do it live!!!!!!!! Just as we started to freak out, BAAAMMM!!!!!!!! Sure would hate to have been on the recieving end of that right!! Dad said it only had about an 8 or 10in. running start.Gonzaga should be glad you did'nt get it fully cocked, he would still be looking for his keys.HA HA We enjoyed seeing you and Lanie at the fights. We're proud to know you both. Too bad the bars closed so early! WE LOVE YALL

Comment by Mark Hazlip on March 10, 2009 at 5:30pm: I had surgery for a deviated septum a few years ago. Hate to say this, but you will not like recovery. Great job on the KO though!!

Comment by BRIAN YOUNG on March 10, 2009 at 12:45pm: GOOD LUCK WITH THE SURGERY, BROTHER!! JY AND I WERE LIKE LITTLE KIDS JUMPING UP AND DOWN WHEN YOU LANDED THE BOMB! AGAIN, BIG CONGRATS FROM THE WHOLE GREELEY CREW. WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS YOU!! BARNEY

Comment by Paul the Mexican on March 10, 2009 at 10:02am: Your gonna be the champ!

Comment by Phil aka VITAL277 on March 10, 2009 at 9:06am: Sorry about the busted nose, but man the sacrifices you made to get to where you are today proves what kind of a person you are as well as your character!! The underlying question in all the message boards was "Does Carwin even have a chin?" I think that question has been answered by staying up with 3 heavy hands from Gonzaga. We are all still in awe and your fan's are behind you going forward as they have been when you were coming up!
