Sometimes I wonder… How long will the UFC wait to announce my participation in an event? I’m not even that big of a deal so what’s the hold up? On one hand, I feel like I should respect their timing and allow them to announce the fight when they feel ready, but on the other hand, the longer I wait the shorter time I have to get sponsors for the event.

I signed to fight on July 5th at UFC 86. As far as I know, both camps signed the fight and barring any injuries the fight will happen. Why not just announce it? I don’t want to step on any toes, but if they don’t announce it by this weekend, check back on Monday cause I’ll give up the gold. I guess they’ll let me know if they don’t like it.

Again, I am a proud father. First I was blessed with a son, now I have been blessed with a precious, perfect, healthy baby daughter. Gabriela was born on Monday morning, April 21 around 8 am. We just got back from the hospital today (Thursday the 24th). She’s quiet and easy-going. She doesn’t cry unless she’s wet or hungry and if we get a jump on it, we can even prevent that. She’s so adorable… I don’t deserve her. I’ve started saving up bail money for myself or for my son. There’s an ongoing bet among friends as to which of us will use the bail money first. Good luck to all her future boyfriends… I almost feel sorry for her, not so much for them.

I was just thinking, “When she’s older she’s going to see my first fight after she was born. It will have been dedicated to her. I wonder who the opponent will be for that fight?”… Poor guy.
