JUSTIN

Standing outside the door to “The Slaughterhouse,” I felt the first real stirrings of anxiety in my stomach. Sure, it had sounded good when I’d first thought about it, but now that I was actually here, it was starting to feel like a very dumb idea.

The Slaughterhouse was the name of a gym that had a really strong team of guys who all trained together. It was perhaps one of the best training camps in the entire Northeast, and it was located only a few miles from my apartment.

When their gym first opened, Quarry Davenport had actually gotten my cell number and tried to talk me into leaving Coach Jansen and coming to fight for them instead. Quarry was a big name in MMA. He’d been in the first sanctioned fights that had taken place in the eighties and everyone loved his go-for-broke style. Since then, he’d started training other fighters and he’d amassed a nice little crew.

I’d been tempted to give The Slaughterhouse a shot on a few different occasions.

Sometimes when Coach Jansen had really been giving me a hard time during training or pulling one of his mind games, I’d thought about just going down and checking the place out.

Especially because they were quickly growing to become a real name among MMA insiders, and Quarry Davenport was supposedly close friends with Drew Ellis from the UFF.

But my loyalty had always held me back.

Now it had been a couple of years since Quarry had asked me to join his crew, and they were very much established. One of their current members was a belt holder in the heavyweight division, and they had two big-time contenders in the light heavyweight division. I wasn’t even in the UFF yet, so I was nothing compared to their top guys.

Standing outside, trying to plan my next move, imagining how I’d sell myself to the guy who had once wanted me on his team—I could hear the sounds of cheering from inside the gym.

The windows were blocked so you couldn’t see into the place, and the door was locked. It had the feel of an underground fight club, and the rumors said that in many ways that’s exactly what The Slaughterhouse was.

I’d heard stories of their legendary training sessions; people fighting without headgear or protective equipment during practices. There were other stories about Quarry’s insane training methods, but whatever he was doing seemed to be working. His team included some of the best in the world, and he was just minutes away from where I lived.

So what was I waiting for?

I knocked on the door, but perhaps too softly, because nobody answered. And then a little voice inside my head told me to leave—leave and go back to Coach Jansen and tell him that I was wrong. Tell him that I would accept his decision to wait another year, if that’s what he truly believed was best.

But I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t bring myself to swallow my pride and run back to him with my tail between my legs.
