I'm excited to see Tamdan Mccrory fight at UFC91. I trained at his school here in Binghamton for a while, and he is a good young fighter. I'm also even more excited to see Jon Jones to fight Stephan Bonnar in his return at UFC 94. Jon went to high school at my school's rival and we always wrestled against him. He was a great kid though and one of the only kids on that team I didn't despise.

Anyone else have ties to fighters currently on one of the big stages?

I train at Tristar Gym in Montreal. That's where Georges St-Pierre and David Loiseau train. Patrick Coté also makes an appearence once in awhile.

Cote, got any tricks up his sleeve for Silva next weekend. While, I like him quite a bit, I don't think he has any shot against Silva unless Anderson completely under prepares for him.

Do you train MMA or something more specific? Just curious if you're training to fight...

I am currently training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Colorado BJJ with Big Mike Nickels, from the third season of TUFF. I am not training to fight, I'm just doing the BJJ stuff cause I love it.

I box at the gym. I train for the sport and self defense. Before that I did Tea Kwon Do. I love sparring and do it for the exercise. I don't have any plans to fight, concentrating on school and working is enough on plate. I do plan to start Vale Tudo maybe next summer. I would need to take some private lessons in BJJ and wrestling first.

The ring, mats and bags are shared side by side with the guys training MMA/Vale Tudo. It's a huge space of maybe 75 people on a given week night with two rings. I take part in a 20 person training session and St-Pierre can be rolling on the mats across the room with his partners when he's in town.
