Has anyone been watching this season of The Ultimate Fighter? Phillippe Nover is the favorite to win the 155 lb final this weekend. I've attached a cool video clip of him warming up for the fight this weekend off the UFC website. In addition to being an MMA figther, his training roots are FMA, JKD, and Thai Boxing. I've watched his fights this season and have been very impressed by his use of footwork and angles. He looks to be a future star in the sport.

Ryan Bader is in tomorrow's final in the 205 lb class. He's a good kid, very humble. It's a pretty solid camp, Jamie Varner (WEC 155lb champ), CB Dolloway (last season's TUF and fighting on UFC 92 card), Carlos Condit (WEC 170lb champ), Matt Riddle, Ray and Steve Steinbess, Jessee Forbes, Aaron Simpson, and a great group of other guys. It's strictly an MMA gym however I've finally found another guy to train with out here for blade and stick training.
I hope everyone is doing well!
