I'm glad Ralek Gracie and Metamoris have been so gung-ho about me competing for them and being their champion. I've LIKED the RESPONSE I've been getting and to be able to go out and REPRESENT where I'm from in catch-as-catch-can. I go out there and I've beaten my opponents, but we're PICKING each other off the mats, smiling and shaking hands.

In football you NEED opponents, COMPETITION because if you are alone with two or three CLUBS controlling everything you don't have any competition.

If a POLITICIAN murders his MOTHER, the FIRST response of the press or of his opponents will likely be not that it was a terrible thing to do, but RATHER that in a statement made six years before he had gone on RECORD as being opposed to matricide.
