Well it is one week later and I can't wait to get back in the gym. I have a camping trip I am taking but after that I will be back in the gym helping the guys with up coming fights get ready. I was actually going to go in Monday but I was diagnosed with bronchitis and did not feel well enough to do much of anything.

I went back to work on Thursday and tried to settle back in. It had been awhile. Between all of the cancelations I had been in camp for over a year so I was no longer ahead of the curve on what needed to get done. I am really lucky my boss allows me to work at my own pace but that pace has been lagging lately. I am the designer of the system we use and pretty critical to making sure it work right. I really do love what I do and I am lucky they afford me the time to chase my dreams.

At 35 who knows how much longer my body will allow me to compete at the highest level. I love to compete and I want to be the best at what I do. We have a lot to work on but standing at the base of the mountain you already climbed is a lot less daunting then climbing it for the first time.

I have no idea what the UFC has planned for me yet. I am going to get back to work and try to solve some of my shortcomings, My goal is to face Brock again as soon as possible. I would like another chance and I am willing to work my butt off to get one. Part of the quest will be to win the UFC belt from whoever has it. I want to face the best fighter in MMA and make sure I leave a legacy behind.

I love the sport of MMA, losing has added fuel to the fire. I want to be known for being a complete fighter. I look forward to what ever this sport has in store for me and I am thankful to my Coaches, Training Partners and Sponsors who make this dream of mine possible. Without you I would be at home telling my son and his friends about my glory days as he tries to use my head gear as antennas for TV.

I will be on the road a lot starting August 7th in Bakersfield. While I am out in Bakersfield I am going to try help bring some awareness to the Cal State Bakersfield Wrestling program that is slated to be cut. The sport of wrestling, which is one of the foundations of MMA is under attack and at risk of disappearing because of Title 9. This is all happening as the sport is beginning to have its own version of the NFL with MMA. Imagine the Olympics featuring MMA fighter Ben Askren. We need to do what we can to support our local Wresters and I am doing what I can to help Wrestling as a whole.

I agree, Sharwin vs. JDS would be a sick fight.

If you agree, then do you think JDS will lose to Nelson?

Shane quit saying your were in training for over a year we all saw you gas in 4 min .

To be honest I think he shoould face the loser of Brock vs cain, he did a very good job against lesnar.
Only problem is that in that case next time he would fight, would be around january or february.

Facing the loser of JDS and Roy...it does not sound bad but I believe JDS will destroy nelson and then what carwin would to to the fatty would be fucking epic. Now that i think about it, I want Nelson to get his ass kicked so its a good idea to see him destroyed by JDS and then by carwin.

[CHAEL fan]

IMO Shane seems like an old 35...maybe it's the long commute or the hard training.

- Title shot should go to winner of JDS/Nelson
- Loser of JDS/Nelson fights loser of Lesnar/Carwin
- Then we still have Kongo/Mir/Nog hanging around..

If I were Carwin's boss, I probably wouldn't tell him "No" either.
