Here are a couple of links to some interviews that came out in the media. They both turned out to be more of a human interest piece than a pre-fight interview as you may be used to reading. They asked about that stuff that happened a while back so I told the story again. I guess I wasn’t expecting the interest in that or those questions but I hope it translates into people being interested in my fights and possibly in me as a person. I’m lucky enough to have a generally pleasing fighting style win or lose so if they tune in after reading these things that will be rewarding. Here are the links:

A couple of interviews have been posted in several media outlets.

I had a great time talking to Chris Fries from The Lights Out Show the other day. Check out this link to hear me talking mad smack about Brock. No, I really didn’t but the interview was fun.

Also, Marc over at KnucklePit.com had some questions about how things were going nowadays. He last spoke to me right before my fight with Hieron. Check out this new interview where his intro made me sound badass. I love it when people do that…

Soon the UFC website should be putting something up on their site as well but they can’t really do that before I answer their questions. I guess I should get on that. I really don’t want to piss them off. Cheers (with water).

The cat’s out of the bag.

I’m fighting John “Doomsday” Howard at UFC 94. I signed my contract awhile back but didn’t know I was at liberty to divulge the details. Perhaps he had not yet signed, I’m not sure. In the article on mmajunkie he said it was signed so now I guess it’s official.

Take a look:

He seems to be a heavy-hitter with some mat time. I will prepare the welcome wagon just for him.

In the meantime, training is going well. I will go back to my town for the holidays and then come back to Rio to finish up in January. See you soon…

I’ll be on the CageSideLive Radio show tomorrow (Thursday, Aug 14) at 6pm. Tune in to hear the hosts poke fun at me for a minute.
