Charles aka Mask I will never forget you. He was one of the most positive guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in this sport. He was always the Cup is half full when ever we would talk. He had big ideas and big dreams about Tapout and about this sport. I am glad to see he got to experience both. If you ever needed to see what it really looks like to see a group of guys work their butts off to make their dreams a reality, these were the guys to see. They literally took over a room when ever they were in it. Man could Mask make an entrance. I will always hear him in my head screaming "Jens Pulver!!!!!!!!" "Lil Evil!!!!!!!" in the middle of crowded casino room when we and the UFC were turning the tide and going big. Their outfits were crazy and so were we all for believing in this sport and believing it could become a way to make a living. They were a part of this sport since the days when we didn't have weight classes, barely had states to even let us compete in, and no way were we on television. You will be missed my friend and I will always respect you for making your mark on MMA just like you always wanted to do. As for me well I have to thank all of you who have taken the time to write me and supporting me even though I have not given to much in the last few fights to really cheer about. I have been spending my time off lifting a lot of weights and really building up and repairing my body so that in a few more days I can start another camp and take a shot at another fight. as soon as I can I will put together some photos and stuff and let you all get a better look at the days in the gym and out. My daughter Madeline turns 6 at the end of the month and my son Karson is growing like a weed. I know that Spencer Fisher has a fight with Uno coming up, so I am going over to his new gym to train with him and his squad in April. Then I will make my way back to Seattle to work with Matt Hume and the guys at AMC.

Not sure if anyone noticed this when i was talking about my jeep getting a make over lol. Anyway, here is a link from the people who are in the process of changing it up. I have not seen it in almost three months. Its without a doubt the best vehicle I could ever own. I have no idea what they are going to be doing to it, its all a big mystery. One day its gonna show up at my door step and I pray it's not going to be pink. lol anyway check it out and let me know what you all think. The rust was terrible inside. I will be around.

well the weekend was a blast, had a good time at the show the fights were as exciting as you would imagine. The Crowd as always didn't disappoint I wish there was more time, I would have run around and hung out with everyone in the place. Sean Sherk and I did a seminar the day before and I had a great time working with all that were there. Of course I got too see both Matt Hughes and Robbie Lawler there as well so it was a reunion so to speak. Its been a long time where I got to hang out with those guys. I can't thank Fighterwarehouse enough for bringing Sean and myself in and letting us hang with the fans who showed up to say hello. If your in the area I would definitely say go check out the store they have a nice setup. Got word today from Jeeperz 4WD that the jeep is coming along nicely and they finally tackled most of the rust issues. The amount of Salt they lay on the roads around here in the winter make it a haven for rust especially on a 1994 Jeep like mine. Its my boy though and I am so excited to too see the final outcome on what they have done to it. I love that damn ride and its got sentimental value. Like I said before I have a Roush Roadster in the garage, but my vehicle of choice is my jeep. After sitting for a bit and really thinking about whats next, I have come to terms with my last few fights and the losses that I have been through. I meant what I said I am not done, I am gonna stay the course cause I believe in AMC and Matt Hume. I know that I am improving and I know that what I am learning out there is relevant and I will come back from all this. My life has been a roller coaster full of ups and downs, but it is a ride I am not ready to get off of just yet. I am too Driven and enjoy being around the fans to much to pack it in just yet. I hope all is well with all of you.

well shit. damn that body shot hurt like no other and damned if I fell into his choke, and well fight is over. I never meant to get all emotional in the interview after the fight but when he asked me if I am still relevant it got me thinking. I could hear the crowd and boy I have to tell you it was loud and really started to move me inside that cage. Thus the F bomb at the end, I guess I was saying that to myself just happened to be out loud. There is nothing but doubt running through my mind, wondering if I am hanging on to long or am I really just at the point of turning things around. I do feel great when I am getting prepared, just had so many things going against me this time it was tough to get away for a good solid two months to give myself the best chance of winning. I do not know where I am gonna go from here and I do not know if you all just watched the last fight for lil evil. I know this I have battled all they put in front of me and I know I have always tried to do my best out there. I have been open and honest for the most part when talking and answering any question asked. I love this sport and I have loved watching it grow and become bigger and bigger as each month passes. I guess it is time to just go home and figure out where to go next. I can say this it has been an honor to fight in front of all of you who have taken the time watch and all of you who take the time to come on here and say whats up. I wish you all the best in the world. again my apologies to my family, my camp at AMC and to my fans.

Sitting here in my hotel room about an hour before I have to leave to get to the arena. I though to myself what the heck. I wanted to write some things before I go. This has been a fun week, I won't lie and say the weight cut was easy, but man That Matt Hume is a wizard and though there were times where I just wanted to lay down sleep and hope the weight would just vanish, he was on me every day to eat my meals and above all keep drinking that water. I was close to averaging about 2 gallons a day and If I never see another piece of Broccoli or Carrot again I will be happy as ever. either way the job was done and I made the weight. today has been just a lot of sleep and spending some time with family before I go off. I am excited to get into that cage and I just want to work on the things I did wrong last fight. I am going out there with confidence and the desire to win this fight. I thank you all very much for even taking the time to check on here and read my thoughts and taking the time to post your opinions, I know its been a bumpy road these past fights. I am working so hard to get it all dialed in and get back in the win column for a long time running. Its time to flip the switch and wish you all the best in life. be around when I have some time.

well another week about to start and more training on the horizon lol. I love being up here in Sea Town, like I said before I wish I could spend a full two months up here but damn if that's been able to happen so far. No excuses, I feel great and look forward to this fight. so many people to dedicate it too I won't even try to list em. The Cox family, who are basically my family since the day I moved to iowa, have been going through some tough times at the moment, and it sucks cause once I did leave Iowa, shit like this happens and its all I can do to not get on a plane and head back. All three kids were in a bad car accident the other night and the two Girls took the worst of it. I am writing this cause its the only way I can vent. its the only way I can take five minutes and just crack. I wish them a fast recovery, and Hope they all know that I love them, and I appreciate the entire family for adopting me 9 years ago when I moved to Iowa. they are the reason I am still out there and won't move back to Idaho or washington, (its sure not the training anymore LOL). They are truly my family. So with that I am out to practice, I wish you all the best week possible and don't get too mad out there dealing with all the lazy dumb asses that walk this planet. Remember to take a minute and help someone out, for no reason other than to help.
