I train at Gladiators Academy in Slidell, LA with Rich Clementi. I also train thai boxing, but my stand up is so bad I do not plan on competing in mma.

The tournament I am talking about May 10th is the NAGA event in Atlanta.

I feel that I could be my strongest competing at 149. The only reason I am going for 139 is because I dieted to 148 for the last tournament and maintained it, so I do not think making 139 will be too difficult to make.

The last tournament I competed in I went out first round to a 5 year wrestler, he was strong for 149. He took me down and could not pass my guard, he powered out of every submission I tried and ended up winning on points. I thought I was going to be the strongest person in that division, but I was wrong
