Hello everyone,

As a lot of you know my next opponent is a very tough one, his name is Leo Santos. He is a legend and hero in the BJJ circuit all over the world and it will be an honor to fight him in the MMA Cage. He has the same record as me; 10-3 . I see this fight very black and white just like probably a lot of you BUT it is MMA. I have been in the sport for a long time and I know one thing; anything can happen in MMA, anything. On the ground Leo obviously has the advantage and I would give myself the advantage on the feet; that’s why I see this fight very black and white. Although I will not take his stand up game lightly. I have seen a lot of fight footage on Leo and he has a good high and low kick and also unorthodox striking.  It is MMA, it’s very different then Muay thai and BJJ competitions, anything can happen

Here is a highlight of Leo Santos MMA fights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef-X5_0m0Qs

Training has been going very well at OAMA. Yesterday I had a great wrestling practice @ MTL wrestling club with Randy “Relentless” Turner. I got to see Georges St-Pierre do what he does best. I can’t wait to see him back in action, he is looking sharper then ever!

I am leaving tomorrow to train with my Kru’s; Kru Jeff Harrison and Kru Chris Kew. They are preparing their young prodigy Robert “The Dragon” Thomas for his pro MMA debut @ the Score Fighting Series. Robert is taller then me so it will be very good sparring and training with him since Leo Santos is also taller then me. I am looking forward to the 4 day training camp @ MAS in Cambridge.

I will be updating you guys from Cambridge on the training prep. Take care everyone,

BoOts!
