UFC and training with Caol Uno

So…pretty eventful day.  I started off the way I usually do on a Saturday with training over at VMAT.  Good stuff, we did some striking drills and then some grappling sparring to finish it off.  I came home feeling a little worse for wear so I decided on a nap, it was probably the body more than me deciding though.

Hung out with the fam to watch the ufc and then finished with some kanji studying since I’m cool like that! ha!  The UFC was really good I thought this time around.  Good matches all in all, the only thing that bugged was that they all seemed to go the distance almost so we didn’t get to see any of the preliminary fights.  Still, the fights we did see were pretty good so I digress. 

Things I learned from todays show.  First off, Machida may truly be unbeatable, awesome win.  Secondly, size really does matter as BJ and GSP faced off for a second time.  I was really pulling for BJ in this one since he’s just plain awesome, but it was not to be.   GSP is as good of an athlete as you can ask for, with great technique to boot.

In other news I got to train with one of my idols growing up this week, Caol Uno.  He stopped by VMAT one day this week and I was lucky enough to train with him.   It was great because myself being a fight fanatic I had seen a lot of his fights growing up, so to get the chance to actually train with him was just too good to be true.  We started off the class with kickboxing, then some wrestling, and finally some rolling.  Caol Uno was super cool and even gave me a key chain.  I’ll have to upload a pic soon.  I’m happy I’ve kept up with my Japanese in addition to my training schedule, still not perfect but always improving.
