Years ago, the UFC would open their pay-per-views with the song “Face the Pain” by Stemm. The track braced fans to expect the unexpected, perching us on the edge of our seats.
Although MMA’s global leader has since phased out its use of “Face the Pain,” the idea behind the raucous tune represents everything MMA Storytime has to offer: tales, memes, and podcasts. First of all, most of the stories and poems found at mmastorytime.com square off with various challenges found throughout the bloggersphere and give them an MMA twist; the memes and podcasts, on the other hand, brings the followers of MMA Storytime’s social media—Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube—face-to-face with the humorous, positive, or heart-breaking aspects of the sport.
Lyrics to “Face the Pain”:
Time to end this suffering
I need a minute to my-self
So I can drift away
You will never get to me, what can be done I’ll do myself
So I can slip away
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Watch you losing control
Now I see the way
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Now I’m about to break
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Watch you loosing control (Crawl inside my head)
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Now I’m about to break
Face the pain, no escape can you step to this
Face the pain, Face the pain, It’s ripping me into pieces
Face the pain, no escape can you step to this
Face the pain, Face the pain, It’s ripping me into pieces
Face this mirror in front of me, I see the image of myself
So I can drift away
My thought runs deep, I’ve trained to meet
Our solders are advancing south
So I can slip away
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Watch you losing control
Now I see the way
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Now I’m about to break
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Watch you losing it all
Crawl inside my head
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Now I’m about to break
Face the pain, no escape can you step to this
Face the pain, Face the pain, It’s ripping me into pieces
Face the pain, no escape can you step to this
Face the pain, Face the pain, It’s ripping me into pieces
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Watch you losing control
Watch you losing control
Watch you rise, and watch you fall
Now I’m about to break
Break
Now I’m about to break
Face the pain, no escape can you step to this
Face the pain, Face the pain, It’s ripping me into pieces
Face the pain, no escape can you step to this
Face the pain, Face the pain, It’s ripping me into pieces
Pain
In to pieces
Pain
In to pieces

This song reminds me of the music my daughter listened to as a teenager – good lyrics.
