If you’ve ever taken part in a little slap boxing, this is NOT that at all. These heavyweights are over 200 pounds and understand their assignment. Knock the opponent down so violently, that they don’t return to their feet. The Bell did just that. 4th round of battle and one slap, to the jaw of The Wolverine took him to the mat and it was over. Damien, in an interview said a YouTube video gave him the inspiration to try it. Once his wife gave the thumbs up, he began doing more research and started training.
You Aren’t A True Floridian Until You’ve Done These 9 Things
1. Hurricane Party
If you’ve lived in Florida long you know we deal with hurricane season every year. Some people are extra prepared for it to begin and most of us just wing it! As a matter of fact, depending on the category we either host a hurricane party or go to one we’ve been invited to by our friends. We most likely know we’ll lose power so bring a flash light, a 12 pack and lets party!

2. Seeing Alligator In The Wild
Alligator are everywhere in Florida and like to hide in retention ponds or even golf courses. Your chances of seeing one in the wild are pretty high! Alligators are known for their aggressive behavior and there’s been many encounters with humans in the new recently. Gators will most likely attack when they feel threatened. If you live in the state of Florida it’s important to understand their behavior and take necessary precautions to stay safe especially in alligator infested lakes.

3. Waffle House After The Club
It doesn’t have to be after the club necessarily, it could be a night out drinking. But a main staple here in Florida is to hit up a Waffle House early in the morning or if you’re dealing with a horrible hangover.

4. Catching Lizards
If there’s one thing we have it’s an abundance of lizards everywhere! They’re always running around and when it’s mating season you see them stick out their red throats looking for love. One thing we always did as kids was catching the lizards and then we would wear them as earrings. We’d gently open their mouths and have them hang off our finger or ear.

5. Ordering Publix Sub

7. Stuck In Disney I-4 Traffic
Whether you’re driving to Disney, Universal or Sea World you will 100% get caught in I-4 traffic. It doesn’t matter the time of day or night because there’s so many Florida visitors that have no idea where they’re driving. Always give yourself extra time when driving through or to Orlando.

9. ZigZag Run From Gators
When living in Florida you might learn about a lot of myths and one big one is the Zigzag run. Growing up you always hear that if an alligator runs at you, you should run in a zigzag pattern. This will help you avoid getting caught because they can’t follow you. FALSE! In fact, alligators can reach speeds of 25 mph, so you need to run as fast as you can, away from an alligator in a straight line if possible.
