Just arrived in Stockton for my fight this weekend. Traveled out with several of my HIT Squad teammates.They include:Matt Pena(my boxing coach),Marc Fiore (team manager/coach),Jacob Hey(fighter) and my buddy from back home-Hoagy. A couple more guys from the gym will be traveling out tomorrow and Friday.
Heard a funny Matt Hughes story recently. Seems as if Patrick Flanigan (fancy trick shooter) took his 9 yr old boy to the new Batman movie this weekend. After the movie, the kid told his dad that Matt Hughes could take Batman. Patrick asked his son what would happen between Batman and him fighting. His son said, "Well, Batman has armour and such..."Patrick interupted his son and said, "Matt Hughes doesn't have armour or any of that other stuff," and his son responded, "Yeah,but Matt Hughes is the toughest guy in the world." His dad then asked, "What about Matt Hughes vs your dad?" There was along pause before his son finally responded, "I am not gonna tell you, because you will just get mad." Kids can be pretty funny!!
I just signed a short-term deal with Nutritox, a supplement company that Matt Hughes helped put on the map. They sponsored me for my last fight and are hoping we can work out a longer term deal after the fight. They are big fans of the military as am I.Their website is www.nutritox.com.
I will report more as the fight gets closer.
1. Great fight. You took it where he is weakest.
2. Thank you for being honest in your pre-fight interviews, especially the one on camera for proelite.com. Too many fighters are into saying how close it was or it's going to be, no matter how far from the truth that is. The last fight wasn't close, and neither was this one. Your honesty is refreshing and appreciated.
3. Thank you for always being at your best in the ring. Some guys show up out of shape, some guys are headcases, and then there are the rare individuals, like yourself, who always show up ready to go and really deserve the title: *Professional* Fighter.
Thanks for the Rent money,
Greg from Calgary
