I am not one to hand out belts easily, especially not a purple belt. But it’s a great pleasure to promote @grizzlybear_mma. Hard work, dedication and proven results in competitions makes him more than ready for the next step. Looking forward to more dominating performances

In Bloemfontein helping @GrizzlyBear_MMA prepare for his next @EFCworldwide bout. While I’m here, I thought I’d share a nice counter to getting stacked, when you’re losing the armbar.

Disappointed I wasn’t able to compete myself, but great result for the rest of my team. 7 entries with 5 medals.

While I'm stuck recovering, at least I can help @GrizzlyBear_MMA prepare for his next fight for #EFC67 @EFCworldwide efcworldwide.com/news/2018/F… In the words of legend @MikeTyson, "everyone has a plan until they get hit."

Cast is off and in a brace for a few weeks. Working on getting a 90 degree bend back in my knee. One challenge at a time...

I am not beating myself up over my loss at @EFCworldwide #EFC65. I fought 3 rounds with a torn MCL, damage to my meniscus and a broken hand. Surgery tomorrow morning to repair the knee and then back in the ring as soon as possible!
