Duke Roufus talks about Pat Barry and the future of his gym

"Watch out, there's going to be fireworks tonight," Anthony Pettis said as he laced up gloves for a night of sparring at Roufus Sport.

It was a muggy, hot night in Milwaukee, and the air conditioning wasn't working in the main workout room. So much sweat poured off the fighters that a volunteer used a mop to sop up the sweat between each round of sparring, but it didn't matter. The floors were soaked.

Pettis was right, as not a single fighter took it easy. Everyone from UFC fighters Anthony Pettis, Erik Koch and Ben Rothwell to the bankers and lawyers looking for a tough workout to the tweens who look at Pettis with adoring eyes used every second of sparring to bring it. Nothing could make Duke Roufus, the head coach overseeing the practice, happier.

"There's big stars in there, but they take a knee at the end of practice like everyone else. There's some big stars out there who couldn't handle that. It's a team. It's great what we do in the UFC, but I'm also happy with the day-to-day of what we do in this place."

Despite recent losses by Pettis and Danny Downes, and the departure of heavyweight Pat Barry, Roufus' gym has grown so much that they will soon upgrade into a 14,000 square-foot complex across the street. Roufus acknowledges the losses, but points out his style isn't one-size-fits-all.

"I have an environment that isn't for everybody. I run it more like a collegiate wrestling room. Some guys like that, and some guys don't. Everyone feeds off of it. It was the hottest day of the year, and we had guys going hard," Roufus told Cagewriter.

Though Barry has moved onto Death Clutch with Brock Lesnar in Minnesota, Roufus wishes his former pupil the best.

"We've had some personnel changes. Pat Barry has moved on. It's for the best. I wish him well. It sucks that he got knocked out like that. Getting knocked out cold is a scary thing."

Roufus would rather focus on the fighters he has in the room. Ben Rothwell and Erik Koch both have fights coming up, with Rothwell fighting Mark Hunt at UFC 135 and Koch taking on Jonathan Brookins at Ultimate Fight Night 25. Both also appreciate having Roufus in their corner.

"It's cool because Duke is like a student who never stops learning. You think a guy who has been around martial arts for 30 years would think, 'Oh, I know enough!' He doesn't stop. He watches videos. He watches fights. He's coming up with new ways to do things. For me, that's exciting to have a guy who has an open mind. Close-minded guys end up as victories on my record," Rothwell said.

All in the family

Pettis, the final WEC lightweight champion who brought fame to the gym with his "Showtime" kick, appreciates the environment at the gym.

"Being here now, Erik Koch lives with me. It's a family. We live together, we train together, we do everything together. We all have the same dream. We all want to be the best," Pettis said.

Calling the gym a family isn't lip service for Pettis, either. His younger brother Sergio, a miniature version of Anthony who is already making waves as a fighter in Milwaukee, worked out next to his brother. Both had a tough time with the planks and wall sits required at the end of practice, but encouraged each other through the workout.

Pettis originally came to Roufus Sport to train, not compete. He needed a way to avoid the trouble that befell many of his relatives, and he found it in MMA. Now, he's a leader, with young fighters wanting to show Pettis "the new kick they made up."

Roufus sees how martial arts has been a savior, and wants to open the doors of his gym so that more people around Milwaukee can find that refuge.

"Martial arts saved Anthony. Saved me, too. I could have gotten into some bad things. A lot of these kids have turned their lives around. A lot of these kids don't have the best life at home," Roufus said of his hopes for the future of Roufus Sport. "A lot of people are looking for something. Instead of a bar, come here. I'd like it to be like a community center. When you're not training, have fun. I'd rather have them here than be in trouble."

Going Against the Grain: Great Alternatives to Wheat and Rice

When it comes to choosing a whole grain to go with our dinner, most of us fall prey to very limited thinking.  For most people, whole wheat bread, pasta or brown rice basically covers the spectrum for healthy carbohydrates.  While some will venture into rye territory, or even kamut, thinking outside the bread box when it comes to grains still requires some work.

Coker video: Is Overeem ever fighting again for Strikeforce?

This is a bizarre position for Scott Coker. The Strikeforce CEO is technically under the umbrella of Zuffa. In a recent interview with SI.com, Dana White swore up and down that he has absolutely no hand in decisions with Strikeforce. Yet when you watch or listen to Coker talking about the future of his fighters and future cards, there seems to be a hesitance about answering questions. That could be the nature of the business or he simply can't promise anything because its out of his hands.

Coker did a 12-minute interview with AOL.com and had some interesting takes on what comes down the road for Dan Henderson and Fedor Emelianenko. A small part of the convo revolved around Alistair Overeem and his future with Strikeforce.

"I mean that's something we're going to sit down with his manager Bas [Boon] and have a conversation about," said Coker (8:00 mark).

That's not a yes or a no, but it seemed pretty curt. White recently said Overeem is definitely sticking around so it was odd for Coker to ride the fence on the question.

Coker also explained that Overeem sort of forced the bold move in the Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix. When the Strikeforce heavyweight champ and tourney favorite said he was out for a fight on Sept. 10, Strikeforce had no choice but to replace him.

"We've been very good to Alistair. We've been very patient. It just didn't work out," Coker said. "If we could've took this fight to October or November we definitely would've done it."

Coker said between the busy UFC schedule, Showtime's boxing slate, the Floyd Mayweather fight in November and MLB's World Series, there weren't many dates that made sense.

On other matters, Coker said Fedor vs. Hendo is not a make or break fight for either fighter's future with Strikeforce. Even with a Henderson loss, he definitely wants to keep Henderson around. He's jazzed about Marloes Coenen vs. Miesha Tate being the first female title fight under the Zuffa banner. Coenen was a no-show at the Thursday press conference. Coker joked that he had no idea what happened calling it a "makeup issue or breakfast issue or wardrobe malfunction."

British bantamweight Vaughan Lee meets Chris Cariaso in UFC debut at UFC 138 [UPDATED]

By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

MMATorchAvatar2011V2_180_72.jpg
The UFC has signed another new fighter to their bantamweight roster, as British fighter Vaughan Lee will make his debut in the organization at UFC 138.

The UFC announced his signing on Wednesday, and a separate report from MMAHQ.com states that he'll make his debut against Chris Cariaso on the November 5 card.

Unbeaten in his last five fights, Lee is riding the second-best run of his MMA career. After losing his first three career fights, Lee won six in a row. Then he went on a 1-3 stretch before going 4-0-1 in his last five, including a three fight winning streak into this debut.

Cariaso has split his two appearances in the Octagon thus far, and the 30-year-old is an even 2-2 in four fights under the Zuffa banner. After a decision win over Will Campuzano in January, Cariaso dropped a split decision to Michael McDonald in May.

UFC 138 takes place from the LG Arena in Birmingham, England on November 5, headlined by a middleweight bout between Chris Leben and Mark Munoz. The event airs via same day delay on Spike TV in the U.S.

Penick's Analysis: This is a solid bantamweight signing for the UFC, and it should be a good preliminary card fight for the organization on this card. Debuting in front of his home country fans, Lee will have the home field advantage in his first fight in the Octagon. Cariaso will attempt to put together his first consecutive wins since he began his Zuffa career in the WEC in January of 2010. It should make for a good fight.

UPDATE: UFC officials confirmed the booking of this bout overnight and it will take place as part of the night's preliminary card in Birmingham.

Strikeforce picks, Vegas-style: Fedor still a huge favorite over Hendo

Fedor Emelianenko's lost two straight, the second one pretty badly against Antonio "Big Foot" Silva, but the betting public still trusts in the former heavyweight king. On the Las Vegas betting boards, Fedor is a sizable minus-250 favorite to win tonight's fight in Chicago (Showtime 10 p.m. ET/PT).

"The MMA Insiders" host Kevin Iole and myself talked about how Fedor needs to approach Hendo (3:35 mark). Strikeforce announcer Frank Shamrock also appeared on ESPNRadio1100/98.9 FM in Las Vegas to speak about his experience in dealing with Henderson's strengths (5:22 mark).

This is one of Strikeforce's five-fight slates in recent memory. The odds say so with nothing bigger than a minus-250 favorite. All the underdogs have a solid shot at pulling the upset. Who has the best shot? Cagewriter says Paul Daley. If Daley stays off the ground, and that's a big if, his striking is too crisp for the inexperienced Tyron Woodley.

Bloody Elbow's cast of writers made their selections on all the fights. BE also tabs Daley as its top choice to pull off the upset. Six prognosticators chose Woodley and five sided with Daley.

Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson betting odds (Courtesy Lagasse's Stadium Las Vegas):
Dan Henderson (+200) vs. Fedor Emelianenko (-250) - Heavweight

Robbie Lawler (+150) vs. Tim Kennedy (-180) - Middleweight

Paul Daley (+170) vs. Tyron Woodley (-200) - Welterweight

Miesha Tate (Even) vs. Marloes Coenen (-130) - 135 pound title fight

Scott Smith (+190) vs. Tarec Saffiedine (-240) - Welterweight

Rory MacDonald responds to UFC 133 opponent Mike Pyle, reveals aspirations in higher weight classes

By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

MMATorchAvatar2011V2_180_71.jpg
Mike Pyle went on the attack against his UFC 133 opponent Rory MacDonald in a blog penned for ESPN.com this past week, and essentially acted incredulous at the fact that most have pegged MacDonald the favorite in their fight.

Citing his vast experience edge and the fact that he's been fighting since MacDonald was a child, Pyle made his case for why he simply feels he's better than MacDonald. In his own blog at Sportsnet.ca, MacDonald has responded to Pyle's experience claims, and makes the case that his training with high level fighters at Montreal's TriStar Gym, including UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre, helps his training and experience come along at a higher pace.

"My next opponent Mike Pyle likes to talk about experience a lot and constantly highlights the fact that he has plenty of it and I don't," MacDonald wrote. "Well, that's fine. I understand that. The guy is 35 years of age and has a wealth of fights under his belt. I respect his experience and I respect the journey he has gone on in this great sport."

"When we fight at UFC 133 on Aug. 6 in a couple of weeks, I'd like to think I can beat him and claim some of that experience from him. I'm also planning on showing him just what I've learned along the way. After all, when you're training with the guys I'm training with, your speed of development and experience works at 10 times the rate of most normal fighters."

MacDonald says he's improved leaps and bounds since he began work at TriStar, and he feels that he's coming along and doing exactly what Pyle said in his blog he needed to do.

"Year-by-year my skill-set improves leaps and bounds, but since I arrived at the TriStar gym in Montreal last August my game has gone through the roof," MacDonald said. "The rate of improvement has just accelerated even further and I'm now gaining the kind of experience, in both the gym and in fights, that Pyle says I need to accumulate over time. I'm a far better fighter now than I was this time last year, as I'm mixing with a better class of fighter and coach and have also added numerous tools to my game."

He then turned his attention in the blog to St. Pierre and just what he's learned from working closely with one of the top fighters in the sport's history.

"I went to all his training sessions with him and watched and studied the way he went about work," MacDonald explained. "I'd then pick his brain on the journey to and from the gym. I followed him everywhere for a good few months and really got a priceless insight into how a great champion trains and lives. You pick up so much experience from just talking to guys like Georges. He would talk to me about how he prepares, how he deals with nerves and everything else in between. No question went unanswered and it was a huge benefit for me."

"Georges is like no other training partner," MacDonald continued. "He is not only very accommodating and personable, but he also happens to be the best fighter on the planet. You couldn't ask for a better guy to show you the ropes. He's an amazing person and one of my best friends. I now know that in order to reach the level Georges is at right now I have to do everything he does and more. He lives and breathes his career and the sport and leaves nothing to chance. He's the most dedicated and hard-working guy I have ever seen. If you're not willing to sacrifice and dedicate yourself to the game the way Georges does then don't expect to reach the same level.

"He also does it right. While other guys are out lifting weights and trying to just get the "look," Georges will be studying and perfecting his art. He knows what is important and what isn't. He is both a great athlete and a great technician."

With the relationship developing between the young protege and the Champ, MacDonald addressed the issue of whether he'd ever consider fighting St. Pierre. Much like others that have been in his spot with teammates and close training partners, the 22-year-old welterweight said it's something he'd avoid. In the same breath, MacDonald admitted some lofty goals for his career.

"If anything, I would move up in weight and fight for the middleweight or light-heavyweight belts instead [of fighting St. Pierre at welterweight]," he wrote. "I'm not scared to move up in weight."

"By the time my career is over, I'd like to say that I'd competed at welterweight, middleweight, light-heavyweight and even heavyweight. I'd love to do something like that."

Link to Full Blog

Penick's Analysis: MacDonald was already a phenomenal talent before heading to the TriStar gym, and being able to work with one of the best fighters in the world on a day to day basis is something that gives him an edge. Not many fighters get the chance to learn from one of the world's best, and if St. Pierre's influence can bring him along on a faster path he could be a scary talent in short order. This fight with Pyle is a big step, and if he can pass the test he'll move on to the next level up.

Working in MMA: Agent Malki Kawa talks about the business

This week, Cagewriter is taking a look at the jobs that make the MMA world go 'round. See the rest of the series here.

Today, we look at Malki Kawa, the president of First Round Management, an athlete representation agency that has on its roster of fighters UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, Chris Leben, Carlos Condit and Thiago Alves, among other fighters.

Cagewriter: What is your job title?

Malki Kawa: Sometimes I'm called an agent, sometimes I'm called a manager.

CW: What's the difference?

MK: An agent's job is to put their guy in a position to capitalize on every opportunity they can, whether it's off a fight, a movie, or whatever. A manager is supposed to guide a fighter's career. I help guys reach their financial and their career goals. In the NFL, I was an agent, but in boxing and MMA, it's more manager. I like to think I'm a great manager, where I help guide their careers, and an even better agent, where I help them secure the financial and career goals.

CW: What's an average day like for you?

MK: I like to be in control and in the know, so when I wake up, I start checking everything out to see what happened overnight and catch up anything I missed. When I get to the office, I catch up on emails and create any proposals for any East Coast sponsors, or Joe Silva [the UFC matchmaker], because he's on the East Coast. At 12:00, the West Coast starts to happen.

From 9 a.m. until 9 p.m., my phone is ringing nonstop. I check in with most fighters, I look to see what's out there, and view a lot of different information. I look into what people are being paid, I compile a lot of data, I do a lot of market research. One of the reasons I've been successful in getting guys sponsorships is that I have a better handle on what's out there.

CW: Do you talk to your fighters everyday?

MK: No. I like to check in with every fighter at least once a week. If I don't have something to talk them about, I don't call them. There might be a fighter I don't talk to for a week. That doesn't mean I'm not thinking about them. It just means that there's not anything going on right then.

CW: What's a fight week like for you?

MK: We basically mirror them the entire time. If I have a fighter fighting on Saturday, I'll land with them either Tuesday or Wednesday. It's my job to make sure that everything is very comfortable and very easy for them. My week becomes a week to service the fighter. I'm there to be an extra hand for his team. That's when I take care of their shorts and their banner, and I make sure their corner knows what they have to wear. I don't really get a chance to rest until the night of the fight and their fight is done. If I have a main event guy, that's when I get to stop, unless they have an after-party, and then I make sure they get there, that they're safe and that they get paid.

CW: What's the best part of this job?

MK: The fighters themselves. Just going through the motions with the fighters everyday, and watching them grow. Like, watching Jon Bones grow from being a potential great fighter to being a champion. Watching Carlos Condit go through the ranks, and watching Thiago Alves try to make himself a little better. I also like watching when I come up with ideas that help change a fighter's life.

Look at Kenny Florian. It was my idea for him to drop to 145. Watching guys have faith in you, and then coming up with ideas of how they can get to certain places. I think that's why guys sign with me. Beside the fact that I make them money, and I am going to do the best I can for them. I think I'm intelligent, I think I know what people want and I think I know what the UFC wants, and I'm going to fight for my fighter.

CW: But no job is perfect. What's the worst part?

MK: Watching other managers who aren't good at what they do, who undercut their fighter's careers, they'll take a guy from you and mess things up, or fighters who become disrespectful. But honestly? I can't complain. I have the best job in the world. I think the traveling sucks. After a while, you want to be home with your family.

CW: What advice do you have for someone who wants to become an agent?

MK: If there's a guy or girl who wanted to get in this business, my best advice would be to set your mind to a goal of what you want your life to be at certain points. Set timelines. Let nothing stand in the way of that goal, and don't ever be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to go after what you want to get. Look around the room at my peers, and they come from all different backgrounds, but the one thing that they lack is the desire and drive I have. That's the reason I'm at the top of this game.

Woodley uses wrestling to neutralize Daley in win at Strikeforce

Woodley uses wrestling to neutralize Daley in win at Strikeforce

Paul Daley said it wouldn't be the same as his fight against Josh Koscheck at UFC 113. That was the last time Daley faced an elite former college wrestler. Tonight it was former Missouri star Tyron Woodley and the result was pretty similar. Woodley took Daley down early in both the second and third rounds to roll to a unanimous decision victory, 29-28 on all cards.

Woodley wasn't quite as dominant as Koscheck, he did have to ward off a late Daley rush to close the fight. With Woodley (9-0) tired from working for the takedown and trying to maintain top control, Daley (27-11-2) got off some good shots in the final 90 seconds. It wasn't enough to make up for the first two rounds when landed just 3-of-12 strikes.

"He was defintely prepared for me to use a lot of takedowns," Woodley told Showtime's Gus Johnson. "So I had to mix in with strikes, counter with the strikes and when I did it well, I took him down."

With former Strikeforce welterweight champ Nick Diaz off to the UFC, Woodley probably put himself in position for a the next fight for the vacant title.

Woodley was only good on 2-of-10 takedown attempts, but he held Daley down on those occasions for nearly six minutes. With Daley's late rush, the total strikes landed count looked respectable as Woodley rolled up a 78-36 advantage.

It wasn't the most exciting gameplan, but it was smart on the part of the former college wrestler. Daley has one path to victory, to use his hands and force a slugfest. Twenty of his 27 wins have come via knockout so there's no way Woodley, with just eight pro fights under his belt, should've banged it out with the Brit.

Rosholt moves one step closer to UFC return with win over Horwich

It's never easy against Matt Horwich, but if you fight smart and stay out his guard, you can get a win. Jake Rosholt didn't thrill the crowd in Frisco, Tx., but he stuck to his gameplan and took out the veteran to improve to 5-1 away from UFC in the main event of Shark Fights 17.

Rosholt (12-3, 1 NC) got a unanimous decision victory, 30-27 on all cards. He mixed takedowns with some solid body work on the feet. The former three-time NCAA Div. 1 national champion wrestler at Oklahoma State scored five takedowns in all, but never went to the ground with Horwich, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt fighting under Eddie Bravo.

"I'm just glad to get out here and get a win against him. It was a scrap. I knew it would be 15 minutes of scrapping," Rosholt told HDNet's Ron Kruck. "I was going to land some strikes, land some to his body and wear him out a little bit. I don't see very many people end Matt Horwich .

Following a loss against Kendall Grove at UFC 106, Rosholt was dropped by the UFC. He's only been a pro in MMA since July of 2007. He entered the WEC as a green fighter and got just one fight with Zuffa's smaller promotion before it phased out the middleweight division. Rosholt was probably thrown to the wolves a little too early in UFC. He went 1-2 with a win over Chris Leben and losses to Grove and Dan Miller. Clearly, his goal is to get back to the UFC.

"I just want to keep fighting and keep getting better all the time. Sooner or later I'll get there. That's where I deserve to be. That's where the best fighters are. That's where I want to fight," said Rosholt.

The takedowns always score with the judges and Horwich stayed on his back too long. On the feet, Horwich's charging flurries confused Rosholt a bit in the first, but it was the wrestler who did more damage in the long run. In the final round, he tried an unorthodox flying knee that missed, but followed it up with a left hook that opened a cut over Horwich's right eye. Horwich also had significant swelling under the eye by the end of the fight.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Ricco Rodriguez was also on the card. He ran through a very overmatched Doug Williams and won via rear-naked choke at 2:16 of the first round. Williams (5-13-1) was a late replacement after a wacky weigh-in day where Rodriguez's original opponent missed the catchweight by 23 pounds. This is a career rebirth for Rodriguez (47-11), who's fighting back from a well-publicized battle against drug addiction. The UFC champ back in 2002 ballooned to 300-plus pounds. Last night, he was 227 pounds and still looks like he should eventually fight down at 205 with some more conditioning work. Rodriguez's previous two fights were at a 215-pound catchweight.

The most dramatic moment of the night came when Alan Jouban crushed and finished Andrew Goldthwaite with a left hook (3:25 mark).

This is a strip that gives basic background information about the famous Lakota "messiah", the White Buffalo Woman. I was extremely fascinated by this legendary woman, so I wanted to incorporate her into my comic somehow. The result was having her tie into Liz's story.

After life-altering transformation, Justin Wren heads to Congo on mission from God

You don't travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo unless you're flat out crazy or, in the case of "The Ultimate Fighter" alum Justin Wren, an adventurous missionary on the heels of a personal transformation.

Wren, along with three other members of a Colorado-based group called the Unusual Soldiers, will depart Aug. 2 for the West African nation. When they arrive they'll immediately insert themselves alongside a local Pygmy tribe.

It's just one of the many tribes that has experienced widespread rape, murder, and cannibalism by members on both sides of a never-ending civil war that rages on around them.

Kennedy avoids the big shot and get win over Lawler

Tim Kennedy was open for the upset, but Robbie Lawler never put things together during any of the three rounds. Lawler, a good striker with one-punch knockout power, simply relied too much on throwing single shots and allowed Kennedy to dictate the pace. That won with the judges as Kennedy got a unanimous decision victory, 30-27 on all cards.

Kennedy (14-3) pushed forward the entire fight and took some abuse for doing so. A Lawler uppercut in the second opened a nasty gash.

"He bloodied me up for [charging forward], I'm glad the judges see that this is just blood. I get cut all the time so get over it. It just happens. I'm gonna fight until the end of the fight," Kennedy, an Army Ranger who served multiple tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Robbie Lawler is an amazing athlete and I was humbled to be in the cage with him. The guy hits pretty hard."

Lawler (18-8, 1 NC) does hit like a truck, but attempting 39 strikes in 15 minutes just wasn't going to cut it. Kennedy sealed the win by landing 4-of-12 takedowns. He jumped out to 2-0 lead in the fight by maintaining top control for much of the second round. In all, he landed 40-of-68 shots on the ground.

Kennedy provided a nice moment for war hero Mike Schlitz. The 14-year Army veteran had all of his limbs blown off in combat. Schlitz watched the fight cage side and came into the cage following the fight where he got a standing ovation.

Schlitz helped establish a "GallentFew." It's "a nationwide mentor network that helps our veterans transition from military service to successful civilian careers, assisting veterans with professional, social, emotional and physical needs."

Kennedy's won 6-of-7 fights. The only loss during that run was a title fight against Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza.

UFC 133 conference call: Evans was going to fight anyone put in front of him; Even Leben and Sonnen called to fill in

The UFC held an impromptu teleconference this morning to discuss the big change at the top of the UFC 133 card in Philadelphia on Aug. 6. After some headaches, Phil Davis is out, Tito Ortiz is in. Rashad Evans and Ortiz met back in 2007 at UFC 73. The fight ended in a draw.

Cage Potato blogged the call and had these interesting notes:

- The UFC found out last week that Davis' knee was injured, but were awaiting MRI results to see if he could fight.

- Machida agreed to the fight, then his�management later proceeded to ask for "Anderson Silva money," but Dana said when he accomplishes what Anderson has in his career, he'll be paid the same money he is paid.

Note: During a Yahoo! Sports' video discussion of the Ortiz-Davis-Machida-Dana-Evans sage, Kevin Iole said "Silva money" is somewhere in the seven-figure range.

- Tito stepped up and took the fight at the same monetary terms of his contract. Dana says that the UFC signed the deal with Tito a long time ago and that they didn't renegotiate his contract for the last fight because they figured he would lose against Bader and it would be his last fight.

Note: Ortiz made a base salary of $450,000 for his fight at UFC 132.

- Rashad is definitely the next in line, but Dana is still sore over him sitting out waiting for Shogun and if Tito beats Rashad he is in title contention.

- Rashad told them to get any opponent they can and not to bother calling him for approval because he would fight anyone who accepted the bout.

- Machida's relationship with the UFC could be strained because of his contract demands. White pointed out that Lyoto was begging him to get back into the cage to fight and he said "he had his chance."

- Bringing in a 205?er from Strikeforce didn't cross White's mind because in his words "Who would I have brought in?"

- Middleweights Chris Leben and Chael Sonnen both texted Dana to offer to fight Rashad.

Double Fisted Typing Action!

Perhaps the most unappreciated feature on my blog is the Distracted Writers Club. I can't imagine why. Who wouldn't find the blood pounding in their veins when reading about stupendous goals like writing 25 words in ONE SINGLE DAY?

Ironically, this feeble goal was key to transforming my writing productivity. I?ve stated before that writing a lot wasn?t a problem for me. In fact, I can spout my opinion here so easily that I?ve given myself an artificial cap of 900 words per post just to spare you. The problem was sitting down and beginning.

For some reason creative writing was difficult for me. I just couldn?t justify it. Perhaps because the reward was so far off in the future. With blogging, the rewards were more immediate. Google ranking. Subscribers. Page views. Comments (just kidding). All within a day of posting my blog. Creative writing was an investment that required faith. Consequently, there was always something ?more important? distracting me from writing and eating at my time. If you follow this blog, you know how often I found things to distract me. With ADHD, EVERYTHING is urgent.

Also, I only knew how to write when I was hyperfocused. As a full-time dad, though, I couldn?t afford to get deep into my projects. I needed to be mindful of the kids?constantly detached from my own pursuits. All of these factors meant that I didn?t write very often. If I was serious about finishing my book, I needed to retrain my mind.

At first the 25 words per day goal might as well have been 25,000 words. Remembering to sit down to write was one obstacle. Justifying the time was the other.

Side note: Isn?t it stupid how we won?t purposefully spend time on certain activities when we don?t feel the time is warranted, but we?ll waste hours watching the boob tube, chatting with friends, tweeting, reading books, reading news, etc.?


This was an incredibly high obstacle to writing, but I persevered and made my 25 word goal, surprising myself by always writing more than that. Then I moved to 50 words per day, then 100 words per day. Each time, once I forced myself to write, I always wrote far more than the weeny teeny goal. Starting truly was the issue. In the end, the only obstacle that honestly prevented me from writing was my chronic motor tic disorder, but even then I could try to at least reach that minimum goal.

Monday, as I sat in my local library, tucked away in a far and quiet corner, I wrote 500 words on purpose. There were distractions aplenty, but I pushed myself back on task again and again until just before closing time. I sat there thinking how grand it was to write so many words compared to when I began, especially since a typical writing session now produces 500-750 words. I was filled with confidence.

I could do this.

It felt like a certainty that I would finish the book before I died of old age?maybe even finish before I had grandchildren with flying cars and jet packs. I was overcoming the writing daily obstacle and I had outgrown my Distracted Writers Club, but 500 words still wasn?t an awful lot. At that rate, the 6000 words left to my story would take almost two weeks. How could I increase my writing output?

A recent talk by James Dashner at Life, the Universe, and Everything gave me the idea: James has several 2 hour work sessions throughout his day.

If I could do TWO 500 word sessions a day I would see major progress. In fact, the more I thought about it the more I realized this would be the solution I had been looking for. My attention span is a many-splintered thing. Why fight against the inevitable? Instead, I should work within my attention span and just write in smaller sessions.

This is the trick I learned from my cognitive behavior therapy sessions. I am responsible for my own happiness. If I can?t use pills to make my ADHD magically go away, then I need to identify the key triggers for negative behavior and figure out a way to work around them. In this case, the negative behavior is my small attention span. So, work, take a break, get back to work. So simple, yet I had been single-mindedly focused on only increasing my word output in one session.

Truthfully, if I hadn?t already been training myself with my Distracted Writers Club, I wouldn?t have had this epiphany. Actually, this was the second time I heard this from James. The first time was over a year ago when I had a chance to chat with him at a book signing. He wasn?t a New York Times best seller then. I hadn?t mastered daily writing yet. I couldn?t conceive of working as much as he did on creative writing. Now I can.

Still, this will require rethinking how I spend my time. I?ve already cut out my Twitter addiction. I blog here less. I limit news reading to one hour a day now. I watch TV less. Oh, wait. No, I don?t. So that will be next to go, taking me to the next level of productivity. As boring as work can be sometimes, failing is more boring. So I will press on.

I can do this.

Wet & Moody

Wet & Moody


This time every year I usually undergo my annual bout of Winter Depression. The days are shorter and then daylight savings time puts the final nail in my coffin. Unfortunately for me, I am not a farmer up at dawn to feed the chickens. Instead, I usually hang with the night owls. I need my extra hour of daylight in the evening. Once that hour of light is taken away from me, I plunge into months of difficult sadness.

Seasonal Affective Disorder. SAD. A stupid acronym; a boring condition.

These days I use bright daylight spectrum bulbs to give my mind that missing light. It has made such a great difference. Also, I had a reminder that I set last year go off in the middle of October. I was prepared.�

Then Winter came early. Snow. Rain. Overcast skies. The sunlight didn't stand a chance. This morning I woke up in a small panic. The house was messy (which induces Depression), the sky was dim, I was supposed to start my diet again today, and I could feel Depression nipping at my heels.

As I mentioned before: Boring. I knew that if I didn't strike hard, I would lose the day, and even the week. Once Depression settles in, it is hard to evict.

Instead, I cleaned the kitchen, ate, climbed stairs for 5 minutes, danced for 7, and did 150 sit-ups. Then I got busy, made phone calls, dropped a forgotten book off at my daughter's school, had an impromptu meeting with her principal, came home, did something important that I can't recall at the moment, took the kids to the library, and came home and cleaned out the shed.�

No Winter Depression.

One could call this a victory, but I am absolutely exhausted. I hate to think what I'll have to do to keep Depression at bay tomorrow. Times like these I am so grateful for the hyperactive part of ADHD.

And now to write in my novel. I have at least another four hours before I will be able to shut my eyes and lie motionless for a few hours.

Bipolar: Wanting It Too Fast

=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <= Hi , How's it going for you today? I hope it's a good day for you. I've been thinking about something, and wanted to share my thoughts with you. It's about what happens when you try to accomplish too much too fast. Think about it. When you try to accomplish too much too fast, you are just setting yourself up for failure, because you'll never be able to do it. It also gets very discouraging for you. Also, if you don't know how long something should take, you can start to think it's taking too long. For example, after an episode. It could take up to a year to fully "fix" the after effects of an episode. Like the financial ruin - you can't fix a bankruptcy in just two weeks! But some people think you can just do it overnight! We don't rush the stroke victim or even the cancer victim, why do we rush the victim of bipolar disorder? Thinking that they should be over an episode after just a week or two is just plain unrealistic expectations. Would we have that same expectation if they were getting over a physical illness? Then why are we expecting it from a bipolar episode? In my courses, I interview people who are success stories, and they talk about how long it took them sometimes to fully recover from some of their episodes, and some of them say it took a whole year, and some even longer! You can read about this and hear about it in the interviews in my courses: SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? Visit: http://www.bipolarsupporter.com/report11 SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? Visit: http://www.bipolarparenting.com HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER? Visit: http://www.survivebipolar.net There are certain things in life that take a certain amount of time to happen. It's just the way it has to be. Think about things in nature. Like the butterfly - it starts off as a caterpillar...then it goes into a cocoon... and only after a certain period of time does it metamorphose into that beautiful butterfly! It just doesn't happen overnight. And if you interrupt it at any point in the chain of events, the whole thing would be ruined! Some things just can't be rushed. Other things just have to take place in a certain order. And still other things have to take place at a certain time. Wanting your loved one who has bipolar disorder to get over their episode overnight is like wanting them to be that beautiful butterfly without going through the cocoon phase! Some things are just worth waiting for. You just have to be more patient sometimes. I know it's hard to be patient sometimes. It was hard for me with my mom, too. But I had to learn to be patient with her as she learned how to manage her bipolar disorder and get over her episode. It didn't happen overnight. It took time. Some supporters also expect their loved one to go right back to being themselves after an episode, and sometimes that just doesn't happen either - that's something else that might take some time. Some family members make this mistake, too, at the very beginning: They think, good, now that they are diagnosed, they can just take a pill and they'll be better. Then they get frustrated when it doesn't happen right away. It takes time even in the beginning to get used to the diagnosis. What do you think?

UFC 135 hype begins with good trash talk between Jones and ?Rampage?

Where's the hook? Some fans may have asked that question when the Jon Jones-Quinton "Rampage" Jackson fight was announced for UFC 135.

After watching today's press conference in Denver, there's certainly some great angles we'll be discussing before the October fight - Old vs. young, washed up vs. overhyped along with who's cockier?

Rampage brought his top notch trash talking skills to Denver. He got off some doozies which included mocking Jones (GIF) for his unorthodox staredown.

Jackson said Jones reminds him of his former reality show adversary Rashad Evans.

"Him and Rashad got something in common. They're both really cocky. I'm confident, very confident in myself. There's a difference. Last time I was this confident, I knocked someone [Chuck Liddell] out in the first round and got that belt," Jackson said during the prefight press conference right outside the Pepsi Center . "I've been working hard, training and doing all the right things, all the stuff I need to be doing. That belt's coming back to me, for real."

Jackson also tried to diminish the Jones' win that got him the UFC light heavyweight title.

"I just have to say, straight up, I respect you dog. I do think you are the future of MMA, straight-up. I'm keeping it real. But you fought [Mauricio] 'Shogun' Rua when he was rusty as hell. He hadn't fought for a year. He had like two knee surgeries."

Jones suggested there will also be excuses from folks after he beats Jackson.

"He didn't fight the PRIDE Rampage, he fought the movie-star Rampage, so there will always be excuses," said Jones.

Then Jackson went on the offensive over being called old by some fans and media.

"I'm only 33. Goodness. You all act like I'm Randy Couture's decrepit old ass, Jackson said. "You know, if I have to represent the old school, I guess I'll represent them. I guess I'm old school, but with old school comes a lot of experience. He's the youngest champion, but I think [Jones is] the least experienced champion in UFC history."
