At 53, Fred Ettish returns to the Octagon
Weekend Results: Fred Ettish Puts Demons to Rest
Posted Aug 17, 2009 10:01AM By Ray Hui (RSS feed)
It took over fifteen years, but UFC 2 competitor Fred Ettish notched his first career victory over the weekend at a local card in Brainerd, Minn.
The 53-year-old Ettish, who faced ridicule in his previous and only MMA fight, forced submission Saturday by pounding out the much younger and heavier Kyle Fletcher at 3:20 of the first round at a Cage Fighting Xtreme event promoted by UFC welterweight Brock Larson.
Ettish (1-1) entered the fight seeking redemption for a 3:07 loss at UFC 2 in March 1994.
"There's a lot of unsettledness within me that's been there every since UFC 2, and I've tried stuffing it down," Ettish told FanHouse last Thursday. "I've tried working through it, I've tried a number of things to deal with the unsettledness of how I feel from what happened at UFC 2 and I haven't been successful putting it away so I came to the conclusion there's only one way to put that stuff to rest and that is to go out and actually perform up to my capabilities which I did not do the first time at all."

Congratulations to Mr. Ettish, for winning not just his most recent fight, but also for his victories over more serious struggles.

Way to go, Mr. Ettish. That's inspiring. I hope that settles things for him. He has nothing to prove after proving things to himself.
