So I have to go down to weigh-ins in a few minutes. I have to admit, this may have been the easiest cut of my career because with training and diet I got down really close to weight, maybe 174. I feel great for this fight. I know John is a dangerous opponent and I need to sty focused and keep my hands up but I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve and it’s definitely not my first barn dance if you get what I’m saying. I hope everyone gets to enjoy the fight but you never know how much time will be left from the main card and which fights they will choose to air. I will do my part to get it on the tube so you can all watch. Thanks for the support and train hard!I’ll post after the fight… 

Went “home” for the holidays and ate too much of things I shouldn’t have eaten a lot of but not too much of the things I shouldn’t eat at all.

Engrish moment: Fight train is the hardest but delicious.

Sorry in advance for those who don’t know what Engrish is.

So I’m on a strict training schedule with diet to accompany. I should have no problem with weight or energy for my fight. Knock on wood to not get hurt in training. I’m doing 2-a-days with wrestling, sparring, submission and MMA alternating days. 1 workout on Saturday and something fun and not too difficult on Sundays.

It’s hard to focus on just my fight with all the other important things I have to do here. I have to get into the apartment, find a school for my son, figure out my post-fight trip schedule and pricing for both my belongings overseas being shipped here and buying things here. Heaven knows I could use the bonus… Watch out John, I’m pretty motivated.

Other than that, absolutely nothing is going on in my life except trying to get my permanent visa again. Boring, eh?
