The woman in blue, one of my best friends. She's an absolute warrior, "The Damsel" Lindsey VanZandt. She had a stellar win at Bellator 222 last Friday. And yes, she's the damsel, the one who started the podcast with me. I hope you are fortunate enough to have people in your life you respect, appreciate and look up to as much as I do the damsel. She's truly one of a kind.
Her performance was poetry in motion. Women's MMA has come so far, and if you've ever listened to my show WMMAFighters then you've heard me mention the "wave of fighters leading MMA into the future." Lindsey's at the crest of that wave, she's meant to do this.
Have you ever met someone, or know someone who is doing what they were meant to do? Isn't it a beautiful thing? It was a stellar rear naked choke toward the end of round 1 that got her another incredible victory. One thing I've learned from Lindsey is you can always learn, you can always improve and she's proof of that. Never stop growing and surround yourself with amazing people. Hopefully you will be as fortunate as me to have quality people in your life.
