Earlier today, I worked out with Loren. Now we are taking the kids to see the movie. This is Emmalie, Peyton and Mario. Apparently, Mario is "striking a pose!"

Today before sparring, @ShaneCarwin came in and everyone cheered! It was awesome and we are so proud of him! Then we had very tough sparring and I was shot afterwards. On the drive home, we saw a 70 Chevelle driving by, we turned around and caught it at the gas station. The guy lives in my neighborhood!


@ShaneCarwin and @GeorgesStPierre win by dominating their opponents. Hardy surprised me by surviving all 5 rounds. Shane followed his gameplan perfectly and now everybody knows what I am talking about when I say he hits like a "Mack truck." We are all so proud of them both! Congrats guys!

I just made my flight with 3 minutes until takeoff!
I will be doing the question & answer portion for the fans. I start at 2pm.
Here I am with James McSweeney and Jeremiah Constant after sparring today. Big Shane looks great and ready to go! Now I'm headed home to eat. Also, Saturday I will be doing the question and answer event just before the weigh-ins.


Here I am with Bryan Callen. He tried to convince me to take our shirts off but I told him it wasn't necessary!
We just finished sparring and now we are headed to watch Bryan. Tess said the show on Friday was awesome! I just hope I'm not sleepy. I woke up at 7am EST and flew to Denver, drove straight to the gym, now I'm eating in the car on the way to the show and afterward we will have dinner with Bryan. Man it's turned out to be a busy long day!

Today I sparred with Georges St-Pierre, Partick Cote, Sean Pierson, Mike Ricci, and Alex Garcia. I had a lot of fun since I was able to play and try new things because I don't have a fight scheduled. GSP did very well today and looks sharp for his fight with Hardy. Now we are about to eat and hopefully tonight we will get a game of poker going with the guys.

@GeorgesStPierre, @Kenny_Florian, @SeanPierson, Firas Zahabi, @keithflorian and me after rolling this morning. Then we ate and went to do yoga in a sauna. That's not my style but GSP likes it. Then we ate again and I went to hit mitts with Firas. Now I'm back at Jon's just resting waiting to see what's next.

My suspension came in this week! Looks like we will be starting soon on the restoration. I'm off to Tristar now.


To train with GSP and Jon Chaimberg
Here's Paul Buentello getting his hands wrapped, @BrendanSchaub & @ShaneCarwin warming up before practice today. After sparring I had to go to court to defend myself against allegations that I violated a court order by attempting to have lunch at school with my daughter. Crazy, I know! The trial didn't finish and was continued. What a horrible world it would be if all fathers did this sort of thing!


I hit mitts and then did a strength workout. Tomorrow I'll be helping the guys get ready for their fights. Shane Carwin, Brendan Schaub and Eliot Marshall all fight in the next few weeks and McSweeney is here training too.
