Introduction
================

My life is all about traveling.

Traveling to practice or traveling out of town. I just miss being at home with my family at times. I’m blessed that the majority of my work is from home, but leaving still hurts. It’s rough, looking the lil’ guy Rufus in the face and telling him that “daddy has to go out of town.”
He then asks, “Daddy can I go with you?” and I have to tell him, “not this time but when Daddy gets back we’ll go to Universal Studios!”

Sometimes it stops him from crying and sometimes it doesn’t.

At any rate, it is painful 

So this week……

=================
UFC Expo
=================

This week I will be at the UFC Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada sharing a booth with Lia Hatashita from Hatashita Sports. I am not selling anything, but doing give-a-aways the whole weekend. It’s cool stuff.

I’m looking forward to the weekend.

I also think that I have to corner a fighter in the Tuff-N-Nuf event on the 28th so it should be one heckuva a weekend.

The main event of the weekend is the UFC 114 show where Rashad Evans will compete against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

This fight has been brewing for some time and here is my prediction for that fight and why.

MY PREDICTION IS RASHAD EVANS!

WHY?  Takedowns. Period. Quinton Jackson will not be able to stop the takedown. Rashad will play it safe and get his title shot.

========================
Are You Still Committed?
========================

A few days ago I provided you with some outstanding resources for personal improvement.

I also challenged you to do an exercise and set aside $1.

If you didn’t get that email or blog post, its right here >>> http://www.coachferguson.com/?p=462

So I’m here writing to you again and asking you to invest $1.00 so that I can help you.

All it takes is $1 >>> http://www.SitupsFromAtoZ.com

Introduction
=============

I was having a conversation with somebody yesterday and they said, “soon it’ll be June.” And a light bulb went off in my head and I repeated what they said…

SOON IT WILL BE JUNE!

I know you are asking yourself, “What in the world does that mean?”

Well, Imma tell you.

This is what it means.

It means that SUMMER TIME is here and you have messed around and allowed the following to happen:

1. You allowed New Years Eve to kick you in the butt
2. You allowed Valentine’s Day and eating out for kick you in the neck
3. You allowed St. Patty’s Day to kick you in the face
4. You allowed Easter to stomp on your back
5. And….. YOU ALLOWED Cinco de Mayo to rabbit punch you in the gut.

And what does all of that mean.

That means your DOGGONE New Years Eve Resolution to get in shape went out the window.

And I ain’t gonna even mention all of the birthday parties and meetings and special events that you went to where you felt entitled to have a “little sip of this or a small bite of that.”

Now, you ARE IN TROUBLE!!

You have to be “bikini ready” and now you are under the gun.

FRET NOT GRASSHOPPER. I’m here to help you. Here’s How!

=================
First Let Me Be
Up Front With You
I’m Going To Need
A Dollar. A Dollar
Is All I Need
$1
==================

I’m going to personally, and of course professionally, hand you the tools that you are going to need in order to get your midsection tightened up and to get yourself back under control.

Here’s what I want you to do first…..

First, go find a mirror and strip down in front of the mirror buck naked.

That’s right “BUCKET NAKED”. And look at yourself REALLLLLL GOOD.

Be thankful that you have what you have and be thankful that you are able to stand there and do something about your current condition. Because there are some that cannot stand today because they chose not to make the decision you are getting ready to make.

Now say to yourself: (Your Name), we are committed to remove the areas which are unhealthy today and committed to begin a healthy lifestyle forever. (Your Name), I love you and I’m going to start treating you better.

==================
Okay, after you finish
that… Here’s what’s
next…
==================

Put your damn clothes on. LOL

===================
Okay, then do this
===================

I’m still laughing. Hold on.

LOL.

But I’m so VERY serious about doing this exercise. It is NECESSARY!!!!!

THEN WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS FIND A $1.00 bill and hold it in your
hand.

That is your COMMITMENT dollar.

Put it somewhere. Don’t spend it on coffee, or snacks or put it in the machine.

Hold on to it.

And I will tell you what to do with that later.

===================
All I Need Is $1.00
===================

If you can’t commit a $1.00

I’m not sure I can help you.

======================
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION
======================

I am going to contact you again in a couple of hours about what to do with that “Commitment Dollar” but right now I want to show you what I’m going to ask you to do.

So I’m going to GIVE you plenty of phree resources that you can use to get in shape (all PHREE!!!):

1. http://www.TheBodyWeightWorkout.com

2. http://www.livejudo.com/?page_id=350 (Squats From A to Z)

3. Easy To Follow d.i.e.t chart

http://bit.ly/aAF1Rq

4. Easy To Follow Workout

5. Easy To Follow Circuit Workout

=====================
Okay, That Oughta Get
You Started
======================

Look out for my email or blog post which will be title: “Commitment Dollar”

Take care.

**********************
Introduction
**********************

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned through sport, life and my religious and spritual growth, its this: “Favor Aint Fair!”

I remember my dad telling me about favor and how he always asked God for “favor.”. I remember seeing people that, in my immature and ignorant mind, didn’t deserve to have what they have and my father told me, “Boy, that’s not your place. You do what you are supposed to do and the Lord will bless you accordingly.”

I remember asking myself, “According to what?!?” And then having a one-sided conversation with myself saying, “Hell, I can work hard and bad stuff happens and someone over here can do nothing and good stuff happens. Its not fair!!!!”

But…. As my personal and spiritual growth increased, I understood that favor is not something that the unbeliever can understand and its difficult for the immature believer to get a hold of.  Many can’t grasp God’s favor.

I was recently having a conversation with a colleague of mine who consistently wants to refer to me as a “great athlete” and not acknowledge me as a superb strength and conditioning coach. He recently told me, “Yeah, you’ll have the money and the cars, but I’ll get the lifetime achievement award.”.

——————————
Smiling While Crying
——————————

I smiled why crying for him on the inside. Sadly, he believes that you have to have one or the other. And secondly, he doesn’t know that I already have that, he just can’t *see* it. (Oh, I’m getting ready to shout!)

I wasn’t the best judo player in the country in 2004, Michael Barnes was. As a matter of fact, he qualified the 100kg weight class for rthe olympics, not me. If I were not for him, I would not have been able to go to Athens. I can sit here and admit that up front and openly. Did I work harder than him? I’d like to think so, but I wasn’t with him when he was practicing, so I don’t know. I do know this. His technical background was much more superior than mine, but I won the trials and went to the Olympics.  Had I been living in Japan, I probably wouldn’t have even been considered as a member on the National Team.

Why am I telling you this?

Well, I want you to know that being blessed is something that your detractors cannot do anything about.

——————————
The Truth About
Kimbo Slice
——————————

Case in point. My colleague said that he’s big into “earning it” (which is another discussion because “earning it” isn’t as meritous as some of you meritocracy believers may want to believe). He said, his only gripe was that Kimbo didn’t “earn” is elevated status. Well, hell, neither did George Bush! Or Obama for that matter. As my mother would say, ” some things you are SELECTED for and some situations you are ELECTED for.”. You cannot “earn” and ELECTION, you are given such a status…..ergo… Favor.

I can clearly remember telling Kevin Ferguson, the man you all know as Kimbo Slice, that he IS blessed.  So many of MMA fans think that Kimbo’s time is running out. NO IT IS NOT!!

Win or lose, the hotel lobby is packed after his fights because people want to meet him. The UFC didn’t cut him, they just decided not to renew his contract. My guess is that, if it makes financial sense, he’ll be back.

Kevin Ferguson is blessed and he has been given an opportunity to do something with that blessing and he KNOWS clearly what he is supposed to do but he only has a given period of time to do it. See, whether Kimbo wins or loses, does not and will not mean anything. We all don’t watch Kimbo because he’s a great MMA Fighter. We watch because we can’t help ourselves. We are intrigued because of his magnetic personality. He has been spiritually “donned” as the man of the hour (for this appointed time). He has favor on his life. You, me, nor Dana White can stop that. That’s a fact. He’s on Gods time.

Now getting back to what I was saying.

////////////////////////////////

==============
Introduction
==============

First and foremost, today has been such an awesome day. I worked out and my wife is back on her “get sexy, get fine” program after having the baby and boy am I happy. Whew. I’m just like any other man, who panics after his wife puts on that baby weight. We want it off as soon as possible but understand that it doesn’t work like that so we are just happy with the effort. I know I am.

Man, my wife is sexy and that’s a good thing and she’s back on her fitness grind. She’ll be doing a 1/2 marathon in a couple of months, she’ll train through the summer and she’s even started training a little boxing.

Check out my wife’s Left Hook!! She ain’t no CHUMP!!!

Traci’s left hook >>>

=============
Okay, now on to
reason Number 5
=============

The fifth, but number one reason that many people fail is because they refuse to ACT!!

Dale Carnegie, who was famous for his ability to get the most out of people and show them how to climb the ladder of success said this, “ Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.”

“An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory. Friedrich Engels”

Right now you have the opportunity to obtain one of the most powerful products that you will ever own. You will undoubtedly receive a great deal of information from The Chump Repellent Package, but the question is this -Will You Act Now?

Introduction

On Friday I promised to provide you with reason number 3 of why you exhibit Chump Behaviors and why you need to get some Chump Repellent. So without any further ado, here’s reason number 3.

=============
Reason #3: Poor Choice
of Friends and
Acquaintances
=============

Reason #3 is that you have a very Poor Choice of Friends and Acquaintances.

Quite frankly, your peer group SUCKS!!

Here’s the cold hard facts, the people that you are around are enablers. They are either enablers towards good quality behaviors or enablers towards chump-type behaviors. More often than not, if you take a good look at the people around you and the people with whom you are “hanging”you will find out why you are at the current achievement level which you are currently.

In the latin culure they have a phrase which sums up this section that goes, “Dime con quien te andas y te dire quien tu eres.”

The translation is “Tell me who you walk with and I’ll tell you who you are!”

The bottom line is if you hang with Chumps, you will be a chump.

And if you hang with people who exhibit Chump behavior, you will too. You NEED a tool so that you can keep these people out of your life. Chump Repellent is it!!

“Tell me who you walk with and I’l tell you who you are!”

>>> http://www.ChumpRepellent.com <<<

This morning alone I had 75 facebook messages, and Lord only knows how many emails. I’ll find out once my assistant sifts through them all, about Kimbo Slice.

People want to know what I think, get my opinion, and hear what I want to say about it. So here’s what I’ll say.

Kimbo lost.

He should keep training.

He’s SUPER blessed to have fought in the UFC.

The door is open for him to fight there again.

He should keep training, keep getting better, and talk with his friends, family, agent, coaches and supporters and find out the next best move for him.

Kimbo’s legacy is already set. He’s a househould name. He went from a nobody, so a somebody that the world talks and writes about. He’s done it. He’s gone from the street to the Octogon. (Hell, I can’t even go from the Olympics to the UFC… I’m still trying.. so I tip my hat to him.)

Kimbo took a DIRECT challenge from UFC President Dana White. He answered the challenge, tried the best that he could and made a valiant effort.
If he want to be a complete MMA fighter, he should keep training. He has much to learn.

If he no longer wants to fight, that’s cool too. What does he have to prove? Nothing.

As far as I’m concerned…. I WOULD LOVE to work with Kimbo. Help him with his training, actually create a training schedule, handle his strength and conditioning. I offered. I wasn’t selected for the task. No love lost. I’ve been hired, fired and not hired before. I’m cool. My record is impeccable.

Kimbo, will be fine. I would LOVE to see him keep training. He has what it takes. He just has to continue to train. There are still some fights out there for him even at 37, 38, 39 years of age. The UFC paying demographic still wants to see people their age fighting. That’s why Herschel, Randy Couture, Mark Coleman and people like Don Frye still have relevance.

In my humble opinion. Kimbo should fight 2 more times. Win. Then call up Vince McMahahon.

============
Here’s what I’ve
done so far today
============

Had killer weight room workout at 9am.

Now I’m going to do 30 minutes of cardio training and then tonight some boxing and mma training.

The hamstring is coming along, but coming along super slow. I’m getting a little bit irritated and frustrated, but I have to remember I’m 35 and things take a little longer to heal then when I was 25. It will happen. The strain was only 2-1/2 weeks ago, but yet and still, I wish it were better already.

Things are coming along. I’m actually holding pads for my wife Traci and my son Rufus. I’m going to put up a video soon for you.

I believe that one of the things that keeps a marriage tight is making sure that there are alot of shared interests. So instead of me going at the MMA thing by myself, I decided to also get the family involved. It’s working out great. My wife has one heluva right cross.

===========
Closing
===========

Mothers Day weekend was great. I hope you had an excellent one. To those of you who have lost your mother, I send my condolences no matter if it was one year ago or 20 years ago, from what I understand, such a loss really doesn’t get easier, especially if you had a mother who invested time, care and love into your life.

If your mom is still around, I hope you at least called and told her how much you love her. If you didn’t, YOU MY FRIEND, are a Chump!!!
