Back down to weight

posted by baskren on November 10, 2009, 11:44am

Well I finally made weight again,  back down tot 74kg and it was tough.   I ended up winning the tourney but god was it ugly, I lost a period to both the indian guy and Matt gentry which I feel is unacceptable.  Ended up losing to Travis Paulson in the challenge match because he won the 84 kg bracket.  He was feeling really large and I just could not get any good attacks on him,  I am down in San Jose right now, I came to meet my management team of Duane Zinkin and Bob Cook as well as to get some training in at AKA.  They have an amazing gym here I could not believe all of the really  good fighters and coaches they have here.  Next competition for me is the Grappling Worlds in Ft Lauderdale in Dec and I am looking forward to that.
