Now I'm Excited

Just found out that I'm getting to train with an ex-national champion for two months before the comp. I can't mention his name yet as I like to ask permission first. He's got great sparring and groundwork skills, I'm lucky to be partnering up with someone of his experience. I've got another month before I start with him so I've got to get my conditioning up quickly.

My MMA hero this week is Bas Rutten. Not only was he a great all-round fighter but being the character he is has brought new attention to both PRIDE and UFC via the internet. Here's some good bits and pieces.
