The night of August 5. Parker Porter and his wife were about to get some rest in their Connecticut home. It wouldn’t be accurate to call it sleep, because with a three-week-old baby in the house and no air conditioning thanks to Tropical Storm Isaias knocking the power (and the air conditioning) out, there would be no deep sleep, not for a while at least.

But as the Porters drifted off to a modified slumber, little Charlie was knocked out without a care in the world. Maybe the heavyweight mixed martial artist and his bride would get some sleep.
