[MENTION=140]Olajuwon[/MENTION], how long's it been since you trained AJJ?

You should give this a shot, you big man.

Oh lol it's been a couple yeas but it's never been a dream of mine to become a UFC fighter. I only ever went to two Jiu Jitsu exhibitions. One where I won the tournament and one where I lost in the first round. It was fun but it's kind of behind me now.

I've competed in a total of 17 tournaments in my experience and won 4.

And no, I don't have my blue belt in BJJ yet. I will when Esfiha comes down though.

Back on topic, I'm interested to see who the coaches will be this season. I personally would love to see the winner of the Benson Henderson/Anthony Pettis fight coach against TJ Grant. Gotta rep the Red and White.

You're all over Canada's dick.

What can I say? I'm a canuck.

And I think we could use some more representatives in MMA alongside GSP.
