My man Thiago “Pitbull” Alves of American Top Team won by unanimous decision lastnight beating John Howard. I spoke with Thiago after the fight and he said he felt like he was 18 and that he could go a few more rounds. I’m proud of him and wanted to post a little “congrats!”

video below – Thiago Alves on how Mike Dolce and the “Dolce Diet” is not just a diet… it’s a life choice
When it comes to pre-fight weight cutting and nutrition, Mike Dolce is considered by many to be the premier coach in the sport. Read more about Mike Dolce and his work with MMA fighters like Rampage Jackson and Thiago Alves.
Rampage Jackson says he’s well aware that the guy he’s set to fight tonight in UFC 123, Lyoto Machida, has a brand new trainer in his corner — a trainer who once took down an entire war ship … and then torpedoed his own career.

MMA fix:
Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto knocked out Federico Lopez 1:41 into the first round of their bout today at Dream 14 in Saitama, Japan.

Lopez, out of Team Quest in Murrieta, California, was coming off of a couple losses. Kid was heavily favored to win with 18-1 odds.
We were shooting today at American Top Team in Coconut Creek. I had the chance to meet and interview the one and only Kimbo Slice who is scheduled to fight in UFC 113 vs. Matt Mitrione.

Kimbo is a super cool guy with a big heart.

Yours truly in front of the camera at America Top Team.
During the interview I spoke about helping children.

Kids from the ‘martial arts after school program’ lined up for autographs.
It’s good to see these kids in an athletic program that will teach them direction and discipline.
