2009-02-25
Man where do i start! I took a week off from coaching and I got a chance to head down to Coconut Creek, FL to train at ATT's Headquarters. I lucked up and pretty much everyone was in town.

Finally
2009-02-08
Finally, finally, FINALLY I got to join the pro ranks! Its been a long time coming. I've had 5 shows cancel, multiple opponents pull out and missed making TUF9 by a chin hair ( not Ben's either). But God is a faithful God, and the saying " Things Happen for a Reason" is not clich! I was able to make my pro debut in Columbia where my collegiate wrestling, amateur MMA, and now my pro career all started....Click here to read more!

Rock the Vote
2008-11-04
The next morning i got a quick workout in with Din. I showed him ways to escape when guys take him down, and he helped me work on slipping punches and foot work. It was a great trip. I learn a ridiculous amount in a short period of time. I was sad to leave, but it was Nov. 4th and i had to make my VOTE count....Click here to read more!

The Pick Up
2008-11-02
I got to the airport like 11am to pick up Din . We scooted over to the university i coach at to get a workout in before our wrestle offs. We did some shadow boxing, worked on some head motion, and then got into the workout. I really enjoy workin with Din, his strenghts are my weaknesses and my weaknesses are his strengths. This makes for a sweet swap out....Click here to read more!

UFC 90/After Party
2008-10-25
I got up at the a$$ crack of dawn to get a run in. I knew I would not have time later, since I was going to the fights. It was like 6:30am, 45 degrees, and the wind chill was like 37. I don’t know what I was thinking. But I got-UR done. I ran on a trail that had a lifetime supply of horse crap on it. I guess I worked on my agility dodging turds. I would get all in my song on my iPod, and then run right up on a pile, forcing me to show off my high school hurdling skills:) lol. I went back to take a shower and eat breakfast, then I fell unconscious for like 4hours. I woke up and ate lunch. I know it’s starting to sound like I just eat and sleep huh?..... Don’t hate! Then I watched “Saving Sarah Marshall.” By then it was time to get ready for the fights. ...Click here to read more!

I woke up got some breakfast, and then I headed back to Overtime to get a lift and do some plyos. When I got done I beat the Thai bag like an abusive husband. Almost like it was my job.? I guess I had some stuff I needed to get off my chest. When I got done Sean Bormet (owner and multiple time All-American) walked in and started working out with Rory Markham (IFL standout and current UFC contender)....Click here to read more!

Good thing I got skills behind the wheel or I would have be slipping and sliding all across the highway shuffle board style. ...Click here to read more!
