I hope everyone had a very Happy Easter. I flew in to Albuquerque arriving Easter Sunday to continue my fight camp at Jackson-Winklejohn MMA. I got time to chill out a bit on Sunday and shopped at my favourite supermarket Wholefoods. I stocked up on a lot of good food to help me get through all the training. I start training Monday morning at Jackson-Winklejohn’s MMA gym. Looking forward to it!
Congratulations to the Victorian government for seeing the light (and coming to their senses!) on lifting the ban and allowing the UFC and local promotions to use a fenced in enclosure for MMA matches. The fenced in enclosure was always a much safer alternative to the boxing ring for MMA fighters. I look forward to MMA growing even faster in Victoria and Australia and I am looking forward to walking out for my UFC match at Etihad stadium in November in front of a sports crazy crowd!
I am fighting next on 10th May at UFC Fight Night in Adelaide, Australia versus Sean O’Çonnell from the USA. It’s the first time the UFC is having a show in Adelaide. It is headlined by Mark Hunt versus Stipe Miocic. The card is stacked with fighters from Australia and New Zealand including Robert Whittaker, Jake Matthews, Bec Rawlings, Dylan Andrews, Alex Chambers and Vik Grujic. You can read more on MMA Kanvas and also see the full card on Sherdog.
UFC Lightweight fighter Ross Pearson held a Boxing and Kickboxing seminar at my mma gym in sydney on Saturday 20th December. About 35 students attended the seminar. Ross specialises in striking and showed many striking techniques, combinations and strategy to the students for over 3 hours. He stayed afterwards to take photos and talk with everyone. All the students said they enjoyed the seminar and would start practicing what they learnt. You can check out some photos below.
I was asked by MMA Kanvas to comment on lifting weights and MMA. Two other Aussie UFC fighters give their view too.
