I posted a blog on my site about it. I think it is a much better situation for me. I think Junior has great stand up. I think we match up nicely and add that this is for a shot at the Belt and I think it could have fight of the year opportunity. We won’t be putting on a wrestling clinic that is for sure.

If you can DONT BLINK. We both have that kind of power.

So far so good. A lot of what happened in the Lesnar fight can be attributed to diet and supplements. I was not fueling my body properly and essentially I threw too many blows and did not breath enough. Prior to that fight I could have fought at a fast pace for 25 minutes with no real issues. I went for the finish, I missed it.

This time around I have eliminated a lot of the supplements and totally changed my diet. I am laying off the fat foods and have a company (Forged Fuel) that cooks for me. I eat a lot of meals during the day and they are all organic and very lean meals. No red meat, no fat foods. Lots of veggies and sea food.

I also wont be cutting 15 pounds the week of the fight. I will weigh in the 260 range and not cut for this fight or any fight in the future. I cheated myself and my coaches last time of something we all worked hard for. If I had the diet and meals worked out I would be defending my belt not trying to get another shot. I won’t ever let that happen again.
