Kid Nate Has a Kid

by Luke Thomas on Mar 17, 2008 1:02 PM EDT in News Comment 26 comments

Believe it or not, nerdy bloggers - even those who cover MMA - actually reproduce. BloodyElbow.com's own Founding Editor Kid Nate is now the proud father of a baby boy! Weighing in at 10lbs and 7 ready ounces, he stands 21 inches tall and hails from Alexandria, VA. Kid Nate reports Mom and baby are doing just fine and that the baby "was spared a life time of drunken birthday brawls by being born a red head two days before St. Patrick's Day."

From everyone here at BloodyElbow.com, congratulations on the newest addition to your family and we welcome the opportunity to brainwash a kid from Day One into appreciating and loving MMA!

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

Congrats. That's an enormous child for 2008 standards. Your wife will never let you hear the end of that.

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

Yeah, Nate, your kid is huge. I was about this size when I was born and I'm not small fry these days. Get your kid into the gym early and lock the doors on him. Someone has to take out Anderson Silva.

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

At that size, the kid will be fighting Antonio Silva!

Congrats all around.

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

I vote for striking with some good ol' fashioned crazy dad stuff like insisting your kid be a southpaw.

Congrats again though Nate!

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

thanks!
I'm a lefty so I'll be focused on teaching him to switch stances just like Anderson Silva!

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

Congrats! That is one big boy, maybe have him spend his summers in Brazil to work on his BJJ and the rest of the year in a good local gym for his standup! lol Who knows, in 20 years you may be reporting on his latest heavyweight title defense!

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

we'll be working takedowns and takedown defense at least 30% of the time -- got to be sure he can dictate where the fight happens.

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

I just have to point out that wrestling and potty are neck and neck. Typical biased JJ guys!

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

Right behind you, Nate. I've got a Virginia baby boy due in early April here in Richmond. Hey, you didn't mention his name. Care to share?

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

Make sure to get him a baby mouthpiece instead of a pacifier, may as well get him used to breathing with it in!

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

Congrats nate!!

I voted for jiu jitsu.....but beware, when you are changing his diaper you will be especially vulnerable to the Kid's rubber guard, he may lock in a gogoplata...or in this case a gaa gaa goo goo- plata

Congratulations. I hope the Bloody Elbow team is going to give you a break from blogging for a little while.

Re: Kid Nate Has a Kid

Hell no! And I expect the kid to start writing sometime soon. BE supports child labor!
