Hawaii Photos...

My Hawaiian adventure is now over but the photos and memories remain!

Aloha From Hawaii!

You never know where I will end up next! I don't even know where I will end up next! Anyway at this time I am currently in Hawaii and it is beautiful here! I am with Mary, along with a couple friends(Creig and Kara), and we have filled our last couple days with zip-lining, ATV Adventures, and plenty of sun! 

I will be posting all the photos as soon as I can...

I will be back in San Jose on Monday and I'm set to leave for Russia on Wednesday to corner for Mike Kyle as he fights in the M-1 show in St. Petersburg. I will post more details of upcoming appearances, seminars, and travels soon!

Cool Things Coming...

Sorry its been a few days but nothing too exciting has happened. I have been in training and helping get Koscheck ready for his upcoming fight in England.

As for the injury rumors... Yes I am injured and have been for a while. I broke a bone in my foot about a month before the Goulet fight. I obviously stopped kicking but continued training through it thus not letting it heal up properly. I am still training but padding it up more to let it heal. Its doing real good and getting much better. I will find out soon when and where I will be fighting next and I'll post it here.

Lots of new things coming up...

I will launch a brand new website soon, we are in the process of creating that now. I will have an incredible number of photos and videos on it. I am also installing a brand new store on the website that will have fighter shirts as well as signed promo cards. That should be up within the next 2 weeks. I am also starting a clothing and accessory brand which will also launch in the near future.

On Sunday I am doing a photoshoot with Jason Foy to get content for the new site and company. I will post some photos here after the shoot. You can see his work at http://www.f8-photography.com

I will also be posting info on some upcoming seminars. In the next few months I will do seminars in Texas, Florida and Canada. The next seminar will be in Deer Park, Texas at Bushi-Ban(http://www.bushiban.com). That is the martial arts academy where I discovered MMA, many years ago. That seminar will be at 10am on Saturday March 14th. I'll post more seminar info soon!

On February 26th, we will go skydiving with the Army's Golden Knights (www.usarec.army.mil/hq/GoldenKnights). We will take photos and videos and be posting that here as well....

And lastly, I am trying to schedule a trip to Iraq and Afghanistan in the next couple months. This is something I am extremely passionate about doing so hopefully we will get it scheduled soon...

Weekend Update (UFC 94 Las Vegas)

Sorry its been this long getting my weekend update posted, I have been swamped! We left Thursday for Vegas and spent all weekend there for UFC 94. I had a great time but was sad that my friend and teammate Christian Wellisch lost a split decision. We had 2 guys from our team fight, Fitch and Christian. Christian came up a little short in a 3 round split decision loss to Jake O'Brian and Fitch absolutely dominated Akihiro Gono. To make things more interesting, Gono came out in a dress and danced in drag all the way to the octagon. I asked Fitch what he thought looking down at the teleprompter before the fight and seeing that and he said he had to look away to avoid laughing. He said the funniest part was watching Gono's corner guys coach him in between the rounds while still wearing their dresses under the fight t-shirt. Crazy indeed!

Here are the weekend pictures...

New Thailand Video Posted...

Here is the latest video we just posted from the Thailand trip...



I am back in San Jose now getting adjusted to the new routine. I got to train a couple days last week at AKA with the team, which I really missed while being away... Everyone is doing good! Christian and Fitch are ready for war and Koscheck is right behind them getting ready to peak for his February fight.

I will be heading to Vegas this Thursday for the UFC and I am excited! Its going to be a great card! We have Fitch and Christian fighting so I am pumped for that, plus the main event is going to be awesome!

Seminar Pictures From Thailand...

Here are some pictures from the seminar I held on January 16th in Phuket, Thailand. It was a great turnout and I had a great time hanging out with everyone. Its always great giving back to up and coming fighters and even more so, having them really appreciate your time and help!





















Here are some random pictures of one of my training sessions with Robert. He is one of Tiger Muay Thai's best Thai trainers. He showed me a lot of cool stuff, most of which wasn't photographed like the blurry examples below!
