Pretty good article about my upcoming fight. I’ve noticed a trend lately, journalists writing up a good story, while also managing to sneak a few jabs in there.

Sponsor Spotlight - Higher Strength Nutirition

I wanted to take a minute to send out a big thanks to one of my sponsors, HigherStrenghNutrition.com. Russ (owner) has been w/ me on this journey for quite awhile. One of the big things I have paid more attention to, since getting into the UFC and competing against world class athletes, is my nutrition. Not only eating right, but making sure my body is getting the proper supplements to increase...

Food for Thought

I recently attended a professional MMA show, and while there were several very good fights, I found myself wondering if there needs to be some sort of benchmark before being able to turn pro.

Our MMA training is second to none, w/ a great core group of guys and...

Training!!!

Sorry it’s been a little while since my last post. I’ve been busy training, traveling and getting ready for Oct. 1! Training has been great; my body is feeling great, and my mind is as well. I have been doing my traditional training at AMA, No Limits, boxing w/ Mark Henry, as well as getting some time in at Renzo’s and Ricardo Almeida’s. If I have to miss a day at AMA for...
