Training is going great. I have my schedule down and we are going through the steps preparing for Koscheck. He presents some difficulties to me because he doesn’t really like to get hit. Thus, he uses his wrestling talent to keep the fight as far as possible from wherever he can get hit. If he could, I’m sure he would have me in a headstand because it is as far as I can be from standing up.

As always I train for everything including the pleasant surprise of him trading on the feet but of course I expect the worst and train for it. Lots of wrestling and jiu-jitsu so I’ll be sharp there. I doubt I’ll forget how to strike any more than he’ll forget how to wrestle so this is the best training camp for me. I’ll be in shape and ready for war.

Aside from training the family is loving Rio. Unfortunately our belongings still have not arrived. They are scheduled to arrive on the 8th but we’ll see how long it takes to actually get my stuff. As if living in an empty house doing hard training twice a day isn’t enough, I have dealt with the worst customer service ever by almost every company I’ve tried to get anything from. What’s up with that?

Stay tuned for updates. I’ll try to post pics later.  mmmkay, buh-bye

I’m an underdog again for my next fight. I understand considering I’m fighting Kos but still…

I haven’t written for awhile because I just haven’t had much to say. Even I have trouble describing what’s going through my head. It’s a weird sensation to have anger and frustration clouding your mind. I’m dealing with it like anyone else, by drinking heavily (just kidding). Just believe that I will train hard and put on a good show in my next fight.Everything happens for a reason I guess.

Sometimes when you just feel like screaming in people’s faces it’s better to go to the gym or go for a run or something even if those people deserve to have someone screaming in their faces.

In the end I suppose I can feel happy that at least the UFC knows what’s up and have renewed my contract. Everyone else, well… you’ll always be everyone else. Haters hate, fighters fight, it is what it is.

No excuses, just get ready for the next fight… you know?

More later…
