By this time, I bet you’re wondering who was in camp with me, and some of you may have seen the picture of the team together, and addition to my usual training partners — guys like Jeremy Horn, Matt Pena, Robbie Lawler and DaMarques Johnson — I brought in a couple of special guests – B.J. Penn and Pat Miletich.
Being around such great fighters and coaches is humbling, No. 1; and No. 2, it was a great learning environment because we all learned off each other. I’m around the other guys a lot — Jeremy, and Matt Pena, and DaMarques — but with Pat and B.J. being around there as well, they would bring up different situations, and then Jeremy would add stuff I’d never seen on top of that. All I had to do was show up, not do anything on the mat, and I was gonna sit there and learn. If I wanted to, I could have charged admission and people would have loved to just sit there, watch and soak it in.
