Quote of the Day: Corey Hill - "I’m Able to Do What I Love to Do Again"

"If you want to know the truth, I was an ass," he said. "I was like a little baby. I whined. I yelled. My wife iterally had four kids to take care of: The three we have, plus myself. I was a baby. I couldn’t get to the bathroom. I had to stay in bed and pee in a freaking bucket for almost four months".
"This sounds gross, but there were times when I urinated on myself because my bucket was too far and I couldn’t get to it. She came home to some bad scenarios and it never fazed her."
... Corey Hill already knows one conversation he wants to have when the fight is over and, win or lose, he walks out of the cage under his own power.
"I want to talk to my wife and tell her, ‘We did it,’ " Hill said, bubbling with enthusiasm. "And I meant that very much when I said we. This has been a team project. Without her, I wouldn’t be here. I’d be limping around somewhere probably doing who knows what. But by her being so strong and so understanding and so supportive, I’m able to do what I love to do again. When that fight’s over, the first thing I plan to do is to tell her, ‘It’s over and we finally did it. Together. We did it together.’ "
-- Corey Hill talks about the power of family motivating him for his upcoming fight against Mike Dizak on Jan. 23 at the Raging Wolf VI fight card in Niagara Falls, NY.

Wow
Who planned this heart warming story on Christmas Eve? Really though, thats a strong woman if she can raise kids and take care of her husband who is incapacitated. Sounds like Corey’s got him a good girl.
Best of luck to him, hopefully he can get back to the UFC and be remembered for more than just being “That guy”.

I’m glad he was talking about his wife when he said ‘we did it’.
For a minute there, I thought he was talking about Buddy Rowe again.

sorry to say
really don’t think he should fight again. what if this happens again? a year off from doing physical activity certainly didnt make his bones denser
I guess it’s a good thing that it’s up to him, then.

no, I feel you man… of course if he wants to fight, he’s his own man. but I don’t think it’s uncalled for to suggest that smacking his formerly detached leg as hard as he can against someone might not be the best idea for his health.

Truthfully, it’s probably safer for him now, than how it was. Titanium plates, screws, the whole shebang I am presuming is what he got.
And I bet he is drinking his milk and eating his wheaties.

Iole
Gets ripped on a lot, but very few people in the MMA media can write personality profiles this well. A great read.

I thought he wasn’t dropped by the ufc??

they may want him to have a warm up fight or two before throwing him in the limelight again thats a lot of pressure

Been there done that, except the part about urinating on myself. I’m in the same situation with soccer so I wish him the best of luck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLJOzxh_vfY
