Eddie and Stacey find themselves in a heated debate, and both think they're right.
"My husband is very serious about pursuing a career in the Ultimate Fighting Championship,” says Stacey, who feels deceived. "Our original agreement was
not to have children, and to grow old, and to travel and to spend our lives just being together. I missed the memo saying, ‘Oh yeah, by the way, I have this dream to be an ultimate fighter.' I have said either pursue a career in this or choose me. I know I'm right about this. I'm afraid of a spinal injury, a brain injury, Eddie ending up in a coma, and I'll be robbed of this man whom I love so much."
Eddie even took Stacey to a fight, so she would understand. It didn't work. "Within 15 seconds, one of the fighters was kicked in the head!" she says. "It's extremely violent. I've seen people get choked unconscious, fist-on-face contact. Eddie and I fight about this all the time. It's gotten to the point where I couldn't even have a conversation. I would walk out of the room. I was just very, very angry. I know I'm right about this because who would want to risk such a wonderful life for a career in violence? All it takes is one punch and a life can be ruined.”
