Joey fought last night. He got caught in a guillotine early in the fight. Thats the way it goes sometimes. I think in the long run it will make him a better fighter. My rib is starting to feel a little better. I have been riding the bike to keep my cardio up. I should get back to training soon I hope. There was a lot of the fans at the fight and that was awesome. Thank you to everyone who came out to support us.

I haven't been on here much. Been down in the dumps about my rib injury that happened a couple days ago. So, I had to pull out of the fight coming up this weekend. They found another fighter for my opponent so that's good at least. Doctor said I should rest and not train for a couple weeks to let my rib heal. I'm going crazy, not being able to train. Just trying to focus on getting Joey ready for his fight this weekend. He's looking sharp. There were belt promotions last night. congratulations to everyone and to Tom for getting his Blackbelt. I'll put up some pics of the Belt Test and Promotions later.

Just got back from a last minute trip to Kentucky. We were there for 2 days. You have to be resourceful when your stuck out on a mountain and want to work out. So, I made a circuit with a huge log, a peice of firewood, Three giant tires and one steep mountain off in the middle of nowhere. We got back yesturday. Trained this morning in Fairfax. I went and rolled with Dave Jacobs. Then we hit pads at Clinch and did some of Luke's crawls.

Here's some pics of my Kentucky workout.

Weel I'm fighting Dave Linder 3-2 from South Carolina. He looks like a pretty good fighter, so it should be a good test for me. We just picked up tickets today. You can call Joey Hughes 410-967-5071. Thanks Joey! Training is going well. Today was a rest day. Tomorrow, I'm doing pad work in the morning and Ju-Jitsu and MMA at night at Clinch. I should be watching theWEC fights, but direct TV kinda messed that up. Oh well I'll watch the replay. Looking forward to a good week of training. Joey and Cole are both fighting as well and there fired up, so it will be some good training.

Looks like I'm fighting in January

Well the promoter called and gave me some names for possible opponents in January. So it looks like everything is gonna go through. Had a couple good days of practice. Mostly a lot of pad work and grappling. I'm looking forward to the next couple days mitts in the morning and Luke's MMA class in the evening, which is always a killer. Sparring at Baltimore Boxing on Thursday. Deer hunting on Friday. Might catch me a buck (as Cole would say.) Speaking of Cole, they are matching him up for January too.

Still Waiting

Still waiting to see if I'm fighting same night as Joey. There trying to match me up now. We've been training hard. We watched the fights last night. thought they were great. I'm glad Rashad went back to his wrestling. I gotta admit, I wish Dustin H. would've won. I like his style. Sam Stout looked awesome. In my opinion it was his best performance yet. Went to B more yesturday work out with pro boxing coach Wade after open mat and combat challenge at Clinch. I was really impressed with all the fighters at Clinch. They showed a lot of heart and skill. Cant wait til the next one.
