Push Positive
December 20, 2011
As someone who goes to my website, you are well aware that I lost my recent
fight. I am very disappointed about it, but have used the past couple weeks to reflect on everything and have come to some conclusions.
Dana White was right. He made some disparaging comments about my performance, and I agree with him. I displayed the worst of everything that night in the octagon. I was tense in round one and I locked up after that. I didn’t perform to my potential, and I take full responsibility for it. That wasn’t a UFC caliber performance, and I’m not happy about it- I won’t, however, write a worthless diatribe on myself, because that is not constructive. I elect instead to take this misstep and make something positive out of it.
We are all the custodians of our own destinies, and we must all try to do the absolute best with what we have to work with- sometimes you will have great successes and other times colossal failure, but if you don’t try time and time again, you will be left on your couch with nothing but a bucket of “What-ifs.” You have no choice in this life but to push forward and try to do the best you can.
My challenge to you, and myself, is to continue to press on and make the most of your adventure here on earth. At the end of your life you want to be sure that you’ve made your best effort to make a collection of epic stories. Some sorrowful ones, some happy ones and some downright amazing, but the challenge for you is to find and make the most of each of these adventures.
I made a lot of mistakes in this story- during the camp, during the fight- but the key to living life is learning from your mistakes and making positive change. I feel very positive right now, and I hope you feel the same way, I would be absolutely nothing without persistence and positive thinking, and if there is anything i want you to take from my blog it is that mentality. I will continue on this amazing journey, looking to make the most epic stories that I can.
Currently I’m in Holland, working on my kickboxing with Siyar Badaharzada (@siyarthekiller) and one of the greatest MMA trainers in the world, Martijn De Jong (@martijndej) as well as teaching here in Europe.
I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you support me through good times and bad- but I can say that I will put every bit of effort I can muster to succeed in every area of my life, and I hope you’ll be right there to watch.
Never been so focused
November 21, 2011
It has recently occurred to me, that in the entirety of my career, I have never been 100% focused in on a fight. I mean, at the time I may have believed that I was totally focused, but in retrospect it occurs to me that I had certain extenuating circumstances that were pulling me in one direction or another, and distracting me from the task at hand.
It now occurs to me the reason for this consciousness shift- not only the level of maturity that I have somehow ascertained, but also the people that I have surrounded myself with- the people that are closest to me- the people that support me, and I in turn support them. The people who more than likely won’t even read this blog, because they are so close to the source that they don’t notice the ramblings of my website. Since they won’t read this, I won’t thank them here. I will just encourage you, the reader to attempt to affect positive change on those around you, so that it is possible we bring the level of the entire planet up, just ever so slightly.
Another awesome day of training. Sol. The hard work is over and all the fun begins. Oh, speaking of fun, here’s a funny training camp pic, that look set up, but honestly, we were all working this move and coincidentally fell like this.
Monkey power.

T-minus Two Weeks!
November 19, 2011
Just watched what in my opinion may have been the best UFC that I have ever watched. Anyone who got to see that card was privy to a legendary night of fights, all coming to a head in the Henderson x Shogun war.
Being so close to the UFC world and training with both of those great warriors gives me some real perspective on where I am as a fighter, and I have to say that I’m happy with my progress.
Speaking of progress. A lot of it was made this week. I’m able to go hard for five rapid rounds and maintain my technique quite well. I’ve also incorporated a lot of new techniques that I feel comfortable doing that will definitely help for this fight.
Mister Bisping is in definite trouble for this fight. Even if he does not know it yet, he will find out on December 3rd.
Speaking of my blog
November 15, 2011
I don’t update this thing nearly enough. I just want everyone to understand how fricken hard I am training. I have never trained this hard or smart for a fight in my life.
In ironic twist news- I’m totally getting reimbursed for John Dodson’s insubordination. I’m not even asking about Michael’s training, but for some reason all the friends that I’ve had for years that are working with him seem to be inclined to tell me about his camp and what he’s doing. I don’t want or need this info, I’m going to beat him regardless, just found it interesting. Pretty karmic.

Up on a plane
September 13, 2011
Up on a plane, and I’m going to a foreign land……. Ok, not foreign, New Yorkeign, to do Jimmy Fallon. I figured out that with current technology, I can post this on my website from very close to space. Thanks Gogo inflight for your overpriced and underspeed internet access. In today’s American Airline news, this guy right here took a wicked stinky poo on the plane.
Yay techmology!
