Why hasn't transitioned to pro stand up?

but just to get it clear, I understand what happened, I am sorry for it, and I will not and have not done anyhting like that again...it has been an excelent tool in my own martial arts career to teach me humility and make me much less selfish, so if there is a positive to the whole thing, I guess you could say that I am a better person for fucking up. Thanks for listening. -Ryan

Im sorry again to Tim and I hope everyone involved in this stupid situation is doing well and that in the grand scheme it hasn't really harmed anyhting but my own life and relationships, after all I am the only one who deserves it...

[RyanDudney]

Everyone that knows me knows about it now and most have been supportive and forgiving as they found out what a stupid thing I did. But as I said, for the record, I never taught people under the false credential of winning a title from Tim.

[RyanDudney]

I never held to the lie that I had beat Tim while I worked there and I want to say that Tim is an awesome fighter and he definitely kicked my ass. I was no where near as good as I thought and in an ill fated attempt to make myself feel better I lied to the people that matter most.

[RyanDudney]

for the record though I never opened a School using my false victory as a credential...I was asked to coach MMA at an already existing fitness center by a friend, all of the fighters there had some experience, I was jus there to coach, corner and help get them into the cage. And I did, in fact many of the guys went on to win some good fights through the Cage of Honor...

[RyanDudney]

And rightfully so, you see my best friend of over 7 years will no longer talk to me, and many people in my circles have lost a bit of trust in me. I want to appologize to Tim...at the time I was acting under selfish influene. I never intended this to blow up like it has...I don't get online often and just recently I decided to check some things and found these posts...I would have responed sooner but I guess it isn't ever really too late to appoloigze...

[RyanDudney]

I am Ryan Dudney... I would just like to take this opportunity to set some things straight as far as things concearning Tim goes...It is true that when I got home I was upset at my performance and I lied to my friends and family saying that I had won the fight...now I don't need to mention what a sad and pathetic thing that was to do...all of you have said that already...however I do want to say that all of it DID come back to bite me in the ass.

Tim is a stud. I reffed his mma fight in AC. I was amazed at his quickness, timing, speed and power. Great fighter!!

[nysanda]

If that is true, have no idea if it is, that is pathetic

[bigballer215]

It is true.

[nysanda]

Then, like I said, that's sad...

BTW, I'm not Tim, I'm his coach :)

I've met Ryan Dudney and the funny thing is that he returned home boasting the he beat you in that fight and that he held the title of USA Sanda Champion. I beleive he has also opened a MMA school using that win and title as one of his credentials.
