Here is a video of the last time that I competed in karate style tournament (nearly 15 years ago). This was my weapons routine, using the bo staff. This video was taken at the world championships in Washington, DC.

I used to practice the bo so much! A few months after this competition I decided to focus solely on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA after I ended up taking a guy down into the mount position during a karate match. He was trying to take my head off and acting crazy so I tripped him to the floor. As soon as I had the mount he started screaming “Get him off me!”. The referees pulled me off him before I could sink a choke in .

(The first few seconds has two heavyweights sparring)

I recently had the opportunity to appear as a guest on hardcore sports radio with UFC legend Royce Gracie. We went on a day after Royce taught a great seminar at my martial arts school. The interview was broadcast on TV (The Score) later that same day.

Here’s the Audio.

Be sure to check out the Morency show HERE. Those guys are awesome and are always interviewing some huge names in sports!

I was recently a guest on TSN’s popular show “Off the Record”. I had a great time talking about UFC 100 and a bunch of other stuff. It was also great to meet one of the UFC pioneers in Dave Beneteau.

Here’s the video.

I’m reposting an older post –when I transferred my blog from the old site some posts were lost or messed up– that shows 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.

TRAINING A FEW DAYS OUT AND THE MORNING OF THE FIGHT

FIGHT TIME!

At the MMA Expo I got a chance to sit down with hosts Jonathan Baldock and Robin Black and be a guest on the No-shit MMA show. Here’s the video.

Here’s a video filmed a few weeks ago during our segment “In the cage” on Y108 radio. I’ll be back on the air this Tuesday (March 10) between 7:30-8am. Ben & Kerry agreed to some cool stuff near the end of this show. Should be fun when we get it all going. Catch this weeks show locally on the radio or over the internet at www.y108.ca.

Here’s an article in today’s Hamilton Spectator.
