MMA Fight Camp: Two Weeks Out
NotSorry, Jan 15 2016
Was hoping to get an update out sooner than this with just little over two weeks out from the fight, been super busy, was trying to get a video series going and a ton of other stuff but just doesn't seem like there is enough time in the day. Next week it should start slowing down a bit, more focus on fine tuning technique while shaping our game plan, so hopefully I can start getting those other things in motion. Also the girlfriend started a new job this week so I'm able to cut back down to a 40hour work week instead of the 50+ I've been doing since September. My weight is in a good place roughly 240, will drop down to around 230-235 which is where I feel is my best gain of speed while still maintaining power and strength to keep up with 265+ wrestlers.

Fighting Through The Holidays
NotSorry, Jan 03 2016
The Holiday season is filled with pit falls for someone training, constant parties with family and friends filled to the brim with junk food make it easy to say "What's one day? I'll make it up tomorrow." Well while you're taking the night off, somewhere someone is on the mats or in a cage working it's ass off to one day destroy you. This Holiday season I am that someone. It wasn't easy, it wasn't fun but it is worth it. I can feel my skills getting sharper, my body getting stronger by the day and my mind more focused than ever before. I hope for my opponent's sake he has made the same choices or he's gonna find himself in a bad place come January 30th.
Never asked this before so still feels weird but been having potential sponsors ask me about follower numbers and what not on social media so would be a big help if you'd check out what I do. I'll try to get some training and technique videos going.

Fight Camp Started.
NotSorry, Dec 17 2015
For the first time in a year, I can honestly say my knee feels good. Not just "good enough, I can still fight if I just work around it" but good and strong. I know I'm starting to get up there in age, having recently turned 28, my back is against the wall and it's now or never. As such there is no "if's this doesn't work I'll..." plans. Burn the fleet! To victory or underground. I've got an amazing group of coaches and teammates around me, now it's time to show the fight world how I do it. First step towards conquering this world begins Jan 30th at Winriver Casino in Redding, Ca. If you're in the Northern California area you owe it to yourself to come and bare witness to my art.
Purple Belt Brag
NotSorry, Sep 22 2015
Wasn't going to say anything but fuck it, I'm happy and want to share/brag about it. I received my Purple belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu yesterday at the Charles Gracie Academy in Redding Ca, under my head coach Carlos Zapata. It's been a long road and it's only getting started.
Computer Help Needed ^ ^

Old hard drive went out so got a new one, everything works fine til I try to install my video card drivers, at which point the screen becomes all pixelated and off colored, as soon as you uninstall the video card driver it goes back to normal.

Day of The Fight
NotSorry, Mar 17 2014
I couldn't sleep for shit was just too excited ended up watching Man with the Iron Fist and Rambo 2 til about 2-3am and just couldn't get comfy in this rock hard hotel bed and spend the night rolling around. Around 8 I just gave up and jumped in the shower to get ready for the day. Gathered the crew and headed out for breakfast in keeping traditions of my favorite fighter Fedor, I went with the steak and eggs, people are telling me I'm crazy and should just be eatting some fruit and whatnot, but if steak and eggs was good enough for the greatest fighter ever then it's good enough for me. The service was rather sub-par and the food took nearly an hour but I had more important things on my mind to care.
After breakfast we head out to weigh-ins being held at a local gym, was nice meeting all the other fighters and coaches. Everyone I spoke with was cool and respectful, shared some stories and some laughs while waiting for things to start off. I met my opponent, real nice guy we chatted for a bit about work and that the winner would buy drinks after the fight. Everyone made weight and we signed the last contracts making it official. Due to it being an amateur fight under the CAMO rules we had to get our gloves and shin guards checked off, neither of mine passed, they had some extra gloves to sell, one of the officials just gave me a set for free. However they don't carry shin guards so we had to rush around town to sport goods stores to find a pair matching their specifications.
Fights were scheduled to start at 6, so we had to be at the venue around 4 for the pre-fight medical screening, and a rules meeting among other things. Rampage, Frank and Ken Shamrock were there doing a press conference about a new show they are doing on SpikeTv and Rampage was launching his own fight promotion. After that it was a lot of hurry up and wait, if you ever been to one of these shows they never start on time. Was nearly 7 before the first fight and I was scheduled for the 4th.
Getting your hands wrapped is an experience in itself, like it's that next to last moment where it all becomes real, and I'm sitting there my mind becomes focused, the background noise fades off and it's just me and my coach preparing for combat. Nothing else matters or even exists at this point. The officials come over and sign off on your wraps and tape your gloves down it's intense. Ran a few warm up drills, did some shadow boxing and then it was time, the producer tells me I'm up next and we head out to the hall way. Pausing for what seemed like an eternity waiting for my next over the speakers thinking to myself, this is what it's about this is what I've given up so much for, this is for every early more, this is for every late night, all the bruises and injuries, all the time away from my family, all of it was for this.
R1
The fans give me little to no reception while nearly going out of their mind for him, I started off well, using my speed to get inside his 88in reach and get my strikes off first and scored a solid take down which for a split second makes the crowd go silent before erupting in cheers for me while I'm getting in some nice shots on the ground, but I got a little too tunnel vision of hitting him that I stopped controlling him and he managed to get back up. Landed some big shots and rocked him a few times but just wasn't enough to finish him. I can't remember the last time I was this happy, having this much fun.
R2
He's already got his hands at his sides breathing heavily. I'm laughing and got an ear to ear smile tattooed on my face, the bell for the start of the round can't come soon enough for me I'm so excited. We circle for a second and I come in with a big push kick under his jab sending him reeling back I try to follow it up with a big superman right into a left hook but my foot slips out and I almost fall down but managed to catch myself by then he clinched up and we played dirty boxing and knees for a bit, he's getting more volume of strikes in while I'm picking my shots and I manage to rock him a few times but I have a hard time pushing out of clinch against his massive arms, about 45seconds left I throw a big knee and slip giving him top position, my foots all stuck in the ropes so I can't even post out or anything I'm wrapping his arms and looking at the ref expecting it to be restarted in the middle but nothing so the round finishes out there.
R3
We figured due to the way R2 ended that it was almost for sure going to him on the score cards so I'm going in looking for a finish and swinging with everything I got left, which at this point isn't too much. His hands are down below his waist and rush in swinging for the fences getting a few solid ones in before he managed to clinch, at this point just the sheer weight of him leaning over me in the clinch is an obstacle I push off a few times to get some strikes in but I can't seem to get far enough away and he keeps pulling me back in about 30seconds left I get a solid break away and start landing clean on him, a big shot sends his mouth piece flying and the ref pauses the fight at this point I just had nothing left I threw my very heart and soul into a few last knees and a hook but wasn't enough to get the job done before the bell rang.
Even before the judges decide I'm already disappointed in myself for getting tunnel vision and stepping away from our game plan and not finishing it in the first while I had him on the ground or getting in that knock out shot during one of the points I had him hurt, a million little could have, would have should haves come rushing forward. Judges saw the match in his favor, was heartbreaking for sure feeling like I let all my team's efforts in getting me ready for this fight go to waste, felt like I let the crowd down who after the take down in the first round were behind me cheering me on because I know I didn't show them my full potential. As I was leaving the ring the crowd starts cheering my name and I'm getting high fives all other the place and everyone's telling me "amazing fight" and the like, felt damn good and made me notice again just how much fun I was having in there. Took a few pictures and went to the back for my post fight medical screening. Then back out to watch the fight and hang with the crowd.
Fight Night Is Almost Here
NotSorry, Mar 13 2014
It's almost fight night, we will be heading down first thing in the morning to Petaluma CA, take a little time to view the city and do a little PR work. Feeling confident, I feel like I've had a solid camp and I got an army of supporters. Saturday night can't get here soon enough. If you're in the Bay Area come on down, or watch the fights at a later date on SpikeTv, but nothing beats the live experience.
Fighting on SpikeTv?
NotSorry, Mar 05 2014
So it's 10 days out from fight night and I finally have a name of who I'll be facing, a Marcus Radtke. On to more interesting things though I found out that Spike Tv will be recording the event for a possible later air date. Once again SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
