TANK
In’s BEeN a long time since I’ve seen my brother, Tucker. He and I have
always been close—seeing as how he basically raised me after our dad died
—but our careers have kept us from seeing each other regularly over the
past few years. Our father, Mitchell Landry, was one of the most wellrespected officers on the Nashville police force, and the best damn dad we
could have ever asked for—losing him turned mine and Tuck’s whole world
upside down. After he passed away, our mom was so devastated and
heartbroken that she started drinking and simply never stopped.
With her
living in a drunken denial all the time, Tucker was left to pick up the broken
pieces of our family. No middle school-aged kid should have that much
responsibility, but Tucker handled it in a way that made me feel like
everything was going to be alright.
I did my best to stay out of trouble throughout my adolescence, but with
a loss like that at such a young age, the grief would come in waves at the
most inconvenient of times. Specifically any time Jimmy Halloway—the
most obnoxious middle school bully—had the fucking audacity to make
jokes about my family.
I found myself in so many fights with him that the
guidance counselor at our school finally suggested I join the wrestling team
to keep from getting expelled and help me channel my angry energy. It
didn’t take long for me to see the difference wrestling made in my life, and
I quickly became the school’s top wrestling champ. The last time Jimmy
ever messed with me was the day I tossed him in the dumpsters behind the
school after he made a crass joke during PE about my mother. He finally
left me the hell alone and things started looking up.
I wrestled all throughout high school, and even started taking MMA
classes in my free time. I probably would have dropped wrestling altogether
when I started MMA, but I knew I had a better chance of landing a
wrestling scholarship, so I stuck with it. Sure enough, before I graduated
high school I was offered a full ride to UCLA where I eventually joined
their Taekwondo team. I knew to stay sharp on fight weeks, but that didn’t
keep me from getting into trouble any other time.
After four years of nonstop fights, parties, and getting in just enough
trouble to appease my rebellious streak, I graduated with my bachelor’s
degree in business management. I spent the next few years traveling and
ended up training at a handful of the best MMA gyms in the world. Getting
to see some of the most beautiful places on earth, all while perfecting my
skill, was a high I don’t think I’ll ever match.
