In another unexpected turn of events we have decided we may hang around Rio awhile longer. After the mess in Rio my wife decided she didn’t want to stay there anymore. I acquiesced and we began planning our move. After several weeks of apartment hunting in a new town and time away from home and family we have decided that perhaps after this extended break away from it all we will go back to Sugar Loaf city for awhile.

I’m excited to get back to hard training and the team. The shock and trauma of the ordeal is slowly wearing off so hopefully everything will go back to normal. Everything, of course, with much more attention to our surroundings but normal nonetheless… Lucas will go back to school, I will go back to training and Lu and Gabi will do what they do. Things should be smooth, hopefully.

After some discussion with the UFC, I’ve discovered that my next fight will likely happen in September. There is no date set and no opponent determined. I will send news as I receive it. It’s nice to know the UFC is supportive of my situation and has done everything above and beyond what I have needed.

So that’s that.
