I've never had more motivation to fight! This year, no doubt, I'll get my first fight back.

I've said many times before, I could live in a twig and leaf hut with my Pygmy family for the rest of my life. However, I know if I went and got lost in the jungle... No one would know how to support, and be part of the journey! Living in Congo full time is an real option down the line, after fighting, but for now I'm going to ACTUALLY "fight for the forgotten."

I don't want to be an old man wondering "what if I would have tried it?" I'm 27 and I'm already haunted (in a good way) with the question "what GOOD could come from me combining my two greatest passions? Could it be something truly great?" Fighting gives me an opportunity to support my Congo family and fulfill my first promise I ever made them, to give them a voice.

As of now, my plan is to donate every win bonus straight to the cause, I want the check made out to Fight For The Forgotten, not me. I will be able to drill more water wells, continue to purchase land, fund a portion of the farming project, or kickstart other initiatives!



]My fighter background and mentality helped me during the tough times in Congo. But my struggles in Congo made me a better fighter! It's given me something to fight FOR! With a huge amount of passion and an immense amount of purpose. THAT is gonna make me dangerous, having a bigger reason to train hard and to FIGHT harder than my opponents. I'm not some 19, 20, 21, 22, or 23 year old kid with a drug addiction who then tries to fight professionally. I've got my head on straight now, my hearts on fire, and I've been gifted with a MUCH bigger reason to fight than just myself. It gets me AMPED just thinking about it!

Live to love. Love to live.

So, The Viking or The Big Pygmy? Also, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what I'm thinking about making a comeback :)

Oh, by the way. My Pygmy name is "Efeosa Mbuti MangBO!" Which Efeosa they gave me first, meaning "The man who loves us" and then Mbuti MangBO! which became like a nickname and people who didn't know me would yell out... Which means "The Big Pygmy."

I remember when you asked before and I should have posted, but 'Mangbo' sounds awesome. Although, I can't remember if that means big pygmy or not.

I edited my post and added this "Oh, by the way. My Pygmy name is "Efeosa Mbuti MangBO!" Which Efeosa they gave me first, meaning "The man who loves us" and then Mbuti MangBO! which became like a nickname and people who didn't know me would yell out... Which means "The Big Pygmy.""

The Big Pygmy seems cooler and would draw more attention to your cause. It's very original also.

I'd go with Mbuti Mangbo personally. it would likely lead to the commentator explaining it and having a conversation about your story, which makes you more memorable for audiences, while also raising awareness.

I didn't think of using Justin "MangBO" Wren... Intriguing. All that means though without the Mbuti before it is "The Big One" adding "Mbuti MangBO" means "The Big Pygmy"

I guess it really doesn't matter as long as I get to explain it.

Big Pygmy as a fine ring to it.

I think it would be fine with the Mbuti in front of it as well. It doesn't take away from how cool MangBO sounds.

If I don't go by MangBO, which I could, I still would have a shirt made up with MangBO across it! I think that would be a cool shirt :)

This or Bygmy. Good to hear you are motivated and have found a way to bring your two passions in life together. I really hope you go with Bellator or ONE FC!!

The Big Pigmy bro, go for it.

From what you are saying, you've never been more strong and stable mentally, that's huge.

Technically, have you been evolving all this time? Do you have some tricks we've never seen before? Not really talking about flashy stuff, there's a lot of techniques out there who have been forgotten, shit that could really surprise people.

I like the big pygmy, think it could draw attention to the cause as well as a bad ass meaningful name.

The only problem I can see with Big Pygmy is if Buffer has been hitting the Valium - it could come out as Pig Bigamy. Which would not be cool.
