OK here we go.... another post. this is getting fun! for those of you that have been around the studio or received one of Ernie's e-mail updates then you'll know that i am currently in my final stages of preparation for what could possibly be "the road warriors" last ride. all my life as a fighter i have wanted no, dreamed of being invited to compete in japan. japan is the mecca that all fighters want to be invited to. it is where the money is, the fame is and the recognition. you will not find a more appreciative audience for combat sports than the Japanese. they eat this stuff up man! so i find my self on the verge of a dream, made possible by my good friend IFL anacondas(mma) head coach Shawn Tompkins. it is through Shawn that i have been given this great opportunity. shawn and myself go back a few years as i have made the trip down to his gym in London on many occasions to help get his fighters ready for up coming matches in both mma and kickboxing. through this friendship i have had the pleasure of training with and becoming friends with his stable of talented fighters. Shawn's fighters have competed all over the world in some of the biggest organizations on the planet, such as the UFC, Pride, Ring of Fire... the list goes on. he is now a very sought after coach and after we are done in japan he will be headed to Oregon to begin training "the natural" randy couture the UFC heavyweight champ Wow what an honour!!!
as of last week i be gain my journey down to London to get some much needed sparring for my fight. the kilometers are killing my lease but hey its worth it in the end right? any ways i wanted to share this little bit of info with you and i will keep you posted right up to my final days leading up to japan.
until next time
love, respect, believe
