So I figured this year I want to share a bit of insight before and after a few of my fights.  Behind the scenes - The True Viking edition. 
Please let me know in a comment if you like this sort of content 
- I’ve got some more stories to share.

This is the story of how I got 13 stitches and a big scar on my back just 14 days before my first fight out of Denmark, when I faced @leksarnc in Helsinki, Finland. 
It’s actually not quite as dramatic as it looks, it all happened because I had to go to work - (working at McDonald’s at the time). 
I got out of bed and walked through the livingroom, but halfway through I got dizzy, probably related to the dieting up to the fight (or standing up too quick) 😆
As luck would have it, I almost faint, backing up I fell over a big bottle we were using as piggy bank for spare change.
I crush this against my back and see the blood. 
Because of my work mindset and fighter mentality, I couldn’t quite accept the possibility to call in sick at work and I knew I would fight in 14 days, so in my mind the wound couldn’t be as bad as it looked. My wife taped the wound and I went to work. 
While working, she did some research as to how to properly treat a wound this size - so when I came home she got me to the ER to get it stitched. 
I got 13 stitches and then came the moment of truth - could we feasibly finish the preparations for the fight, get the stitches out and fight in just two weeks. 
The answer, YES! 
Not easy mind you, we had to think waay out the box in order to finish the last weeks of training. 
We had to eliminate sparring and focus solely on padwork and ground n’ pound - See video and more by sliding 👍

We got to Finland - faced @leksarnc in what ended up being @mmaviking Nordic Fight of the year!
It’s still well worth a watch in my opinion, and free to watch on YouTube.
