The Diaz clone war

Posted on 16 May 2012

The last few months I have started to see young men getting into the amateur MMA cage and trying to morph into their favorite fighter Nick Diaz. On one occasion I saw a young man throw a head butt at the weigh ins, two finger salute at the stare down, mock his opponent during the fight, and at the end of it all, almost incite a cage brawl by getting in the face of one of the opposing coaches. True story.

Week four is over and I am officially two weeks away from the weigh-ins. Making 145lbs is super easy for me as I walk around at a whopping 160lbs when I’m completely out of shape and storing a little extra fat. Today I checked my weight and I am already within nine pounds without even [...]

Just landed in Fort MacMurray, BC last night. I know I should be feeling nervous as time grows near, but really I cant stop thinking about flying. I have a terrible fear of flying in an aluminum tube 37,000 feet in the air. The flight was like a roller coaster too. I usually sedate myself, [...]

I’m still a few weeks away from being able to get back in to the gym, and it’s killing me. I walk around dodging imaginary punches and catching kicks that don’t exists (I know, usually I catch the punch with my chin and start grappling, but it’s always nice to pretend).  During conversations I feel my mind constantly trying to [...]

When you first put on the RYU Full-zip Fleece Hoody it will be like wrapping a warm blanket around yourself.

Although we are entering the warmer months, this is the perfect hoody to wear during the spring or on a cooler evening by the water.
