I am pretty excited about this fight. I have been working hard on improving my overall game. That is the great thing about MMA, it is nearly impossible to master. I will be using Jon Chamberg for my strength and conditioning program. Jon is one of the best out there.

Other then that I am focusing on my diet. Trying to eat organic and healthy food. I have a a real issue with my diet and most doctors I spoke with pointed at the diet as the issue. What can I say I love pizza!

My opponent is extremely durable and tested and I am honored to fight with him. We are both better than each other at certain aspects of the game. It should be a great fight.

I have been needing a fight to focus on. It makes training with guys like Nate and Brendan more bearable. At least you have a reason for getting your head pounded on.

Overall life has been great since 116. My family and I got some much needed down time. I have been doing appearances 3 weekends a month for most of the summer (it was great to meet a lot of you). I really could not be in a better place and now with an opponent I have something to focus on.

I want to thank my sponsors: Dethrone, Malibu Boats, BlowoutCards, Good4UDrinks (amazing drinks), HeadBlade, Dollamur, PerformanceMMA, NightRider Jewlery, and Bud Light.

Last but not least thank you to my Manager.
