These videos show some of my final workouts before I travelled to Quebec to fight for the Apex welterweight world title against Nuri Shakir. This was the fight before I got the call to fight Josh Koscheck in the UFC.
I was dehydrated at the beginning of the video, having already dropped probably 10 pounds in 4 days. I had put the weight back on by the time I was hitting pads in my hotel room the next morning.

Nice.
I liked the jabs you were trowing and you have some excellent timing.
Also when he blocked your takedown and you got up when he was on you was impressive.
Thanks Romano, that standup technique is one of my favourites.
Nice finish. It seems like the ropes can get in the way when fighting in a ring like they did at the end of this fight, but some fighters prefer the ring over the cage. What’s your preference?
nice fight! jabs where fast and tight, i like shihan’s reaction lol, cool fight!
