Josh Lydell vs. Alex Karalexis

Yes, that would be me vs. Alex Karalexis of “The Ultimate Fighter” season 1 fame. June 17th, Manchester, NH. Check out my page on myspace for additional info and tickets: myspace.com/joshlydell
Thank you, T-Nation for all the training you’ve provided over the years. And yes, I know the poster is wrong. You see, I beat Carlos Nieves in my last fight, so I’ve got the match now.

Good luck!

Make sure you get some pictures/video, I’d would be great to see some more action photos.

Also, if you get some good cuts and lumps we can make fun of you. :slight_smile:

Train hard!

not sure how well it will show up, but here is a pic of my eye after my last fight…i swear to god he must have hit me with a shovel.

Good luck man.

What’s your favorite way of winning?
Submission/KO?

Good luck man. I just started to train MMA about 3 months ago and I am loving it, so hopefully I’ll be where you are soon enough!

Karalexis was a piece of trash on TUF, but I’m sure he has probably improved his game in the last year or so.

Anyway, kick his hairy ass for us all.

just so it’s clear… if diablo9845 ever gets to the point that you are… i’m 1-0 in drunk headlock contests with him.

haha I’ll give you that one buddy, but I’ll get you back one day, just wait…

Alex is a friend of mine (kinda). My wife and my brother-in-law grew up with him (Whitman, MA) and we talked training quite a bit at our old gym before he left for Vegas. I believe his dad manages a casino out there.

I wish he did better than he did on national TV but what can you do?

That being said… I wish you the best of luck in your fight. (Ya sure gotta respect guys that really put it on the line like this. It takes a LOT of balls)
