My next question is why do you say you are too short? I mean people have been riding me the last 2 days about experience and technique overcoming stuff. So why does your height bother you at certain weights? How are you going to go about losing enough weight that you can get down to your training then competing weight...and still have some strength when you get there?

Thanks man and I like your questions.

I'm 5'9" and to be honest it's not so much my height as it is my reach. For the way I fight I like to be on the inside of my opponent, an opponent that is 6'2" while they would actually be easier for me to take down it will be harder for me to close the distance. With an opponent more in line with my height we have about the same ranges and, I can utilize my strengths more readily.

As far as the training and fight weights go, when I train for a fight I train 5 to 6 hours a day as well as work a full time job. My girlfriend would kill me if I did this everyday and that is the whole reason

My return to fighting is something I've been thinking about for a while. At the age of 33 I realize that my glory days are pretty much done and, I'm some what civilized now so I don't have dreams of UFC gold or anything like that. Plus I love my role as a coach, I like helping young guys learn to fight and one thing since I don't focus on my training I can really focus in on theirs. I'm a low level pro fighter with a bum knee and, I'm cool with that. But to be honest with you I feel like I have 3 or 4 fights left in me and I have a few things left that I'd like to accomplish.

I don't know if I answered your questions or just ranted. Hope I answered at least part of them.
