Hello people of the world and universe. First off, I just want to apologize for lagging on my website and promising all you guys blogs and poems. Life has been very busy lately and I feel horrible that I became like a lot of other fighters out there who get a website going and just never update it. So here goes?

It's been quite a while since I blogged and to tell yall the truth I can't believe I'm doing this shit. But it feels good to get stuff off my chest and you people will be my psychoanalyst and hear and analyze all I have to say. So, where do I begin? Oh yeah being kicked out of the UFC, twice! Obviously the first time was very disappointing to me, my family, friends, and team. It would be so nice to have that contract in my hands, and honestly if I never went out that night in Vegas, I think the contract would be mine. I just matched up very well with Amir Sadollah. Every day goes through my head that I lost a six figure contract. It's motivation though, knowing that very well I could of and should of been the TUF 7 winner. However, Amir is a great guy and the winner could not be given to a better person. On the human scale, Amir is probably a better human than me but I have to say, and am not bashing Amir, but on the fighting scale I think that belongs to me. I fucked up and I lost out of the contract. I guess the only thing that truly upsets me is the hypocritical side of it. I am not bashing the UFC, and in fact really love the UFC and what it has to done to me. No matter what, it launched my career and now I headline shows everywhere. It is my goal that the UFC takes me back based on my skill and fighting and that they need me to come back. Through time this mission will be accomplished and hopefully I and the UFC will work out our troubles. The UFC brought me back and I fought good old CB.

CB was with me the night I bashed out windows in my drunken stupor. I don't know or remember if he antagonized the situation; it was still me who did it and only myself to blame. So it was fight time with CB and I'm not going to bring up excuses but CB was definitely the better man that night. He caught me in his damn trademark move, THE PERUVIAN NECKTIE; it was a back and forth fight up to that point. Let's just say I would love to have that fight again, but CB was the better man that night. When I came back to town and training at my camp TEAM QUEST-SOUTH, everyone was telling me of rumors circulating that I was being let go from the UFC...again! I could not believe it I thought. I would understand if it was cause of my fight. I fought horrible that night and knew I had a lot more, I wish I fought CB the way I do in practice but did not. However, rumors were; because of something I said about Rampage. At first I did not even know, but I guess in an interview I said something like "what goes around comes around". At the time I did not know the severity of Rampages situation and was kind of just kidding the way Rampage would with me a lot, and thinking how Rampage really wanted his golden boy CB back in and me out, he said things about me. It was nothing personal or anything, it was just me not thinking before I talk?something I have to work on. And like that, faster than I was back in the UFC, I was once again let go. I won 4 fights in six weeks, the most on any TUF show, yet was let go...again? Was I upset? I could sit here and bitch, but the UFC has its standards. I just really feel that's where I belong and that I'm on that level. I will just have to prove it outside the octagon for a couple of fights and from now on just shut my mouth. Let my actions speak! Not my words. Let's just say this; the Ultimate Fighter show has produced a lot worse people than me, and watching this season and seeing some people get away with things that are worse than what I did and still be allowed in the UFC ponders my mind. Oh well, I got to really beat some ass, get back in there, and keep my mouth shut. I can't deny the fact what Dana White and the UFC have done for MMA worldwide, they have really helped the sport, and I just want to thank the UFC, Dana, and the management for giving me the chance of a lifetime and letting me showcase my skills on national TV.

So after the CB travesty, I decided to fight at a catch weight at 175. I'm muscular but, skinny at heart and knew I could make 70's. I actually got down to 172. I know at welterweight I will be a force to reckon for anybody just based on my sheer power, and strength. I've been wrestling and fighting big guys my whole life and am just stronger than guys at 85's so at welterweight it's just unfair for me to fight these small fries. I will still go back up to my original weight class; I'm just going to do the best opportunity for me. My last fight, that's exactly what happened. I had the opportunity to fight in my hometown and said yes because I just wanted to get back on track. I just want to fight the best guys and at my stage need to fight high profile guys, so if your good and I decline to fight you it's just because no one knows you so it's not a smart idea to fight you. Nothing personal fellas for I would love to fight you but just have to fight quality guys with big records. They offered me Drew Fickett; a very worthy opponent. I didn't think I could make welterweight yet, so I asked if he would do a catch weight at 175s. Drew, being a warrior gladly obliged. I was very hungry for this fight, and have a lot to prove to myself, family, friends, and fans. I quickly dispatched Drew Fickett and am ready for any challenger that comes my way. I feel comfortable at both weights but will go whatever is best opportunity to me.

I kind of forget the quote, but I like the one that goes something like this "when opportunity meets hard work it equals success". So people that's kind of where I am at, just waiting to fight the best guys out there and I will be ready for anyone, anytime. I'm still training at my home grounds of Team Quest and teaching a little bit now for some side JT MONEY. I commute up to Temecula from San Diego but it's worth the drive. If there's a better school, but a little farther away, wouldn't you make the sacrifice? Yeah, our economy is fucked and gas prices are sky high, but things aren't bad for a fighter as long as you're winning. After my last fight I feel right back on track. After all, in our economy the best job to have is a pro fighter. No matter how shitty things are, people will always come to watch blood being spilled. I had too much coffee and I'm on a rampage now with this blog. My advice, stay yourself, stay true people, don't sell out! Lord knows I came close; things will get better, be positive, have love, be fearless and do what you like. I am also proud to say I have another little one on the way. I love kids; I gotta little money in my pocket now why would I want it all for myself. I got one kid and a baby mama to give a lot of it too and with another little one can give some more money to that one. The world does not need selfish people, they always get what's coming to them, and in the end will have a lot of remorse and sadness. The universe unfolds as it should. All right everyone, much love, be yourself, do your thang! And thank you for staying up to date with me. BIG NEWS ON THE WAY, MORE FIGHT AND TRAINING PICS COMING, AND ONE OF THESE DAYS WILL GET MY SHORTS UP. Much love to Clinch Gear, Team Quest, RBP, and other sponsors. Stay away from little devils who throw money in your face. PEACE!!!!
