Rich! I’ve loved watching you fight for sometime now. I’m a regular viewer of your website. Your Franklin Equation “My Most Dangerous Opponent” truly inspired me to begin training again about 6 months ago. My life has been different ever since I read that. I’m working out 6 days a week. I feel healthier and happier.

I am writing you right now now because of your hit and run on tattoos. I am 23 years old and recently got my first tattoo less than two weeks ago. Like you I am a christian. Like you I was unsure if I could ever want something on my body forever. However I came across the biblical verse on your site sometime ago and it really sank deep with me. Working in law enforcement I truly believe I am at war, which is waged through me personally, and ultimately inspired by God. After a lot of thinking and much debate I had an image in my mind drawn up at the local tattoo shop. A week later I have it inked on my. It is my only tattoo, and I doubt I will ever get anything else. I couldn’t be happier with how it looks. Thanks again for everything Rich. You are the prime example of a prestigious fighter both on and off the mat.      – Philip Poirier
