Very successful weekend

Well it was a long week and weekend. Thursday, after a flight and drive in to Lac Du Flambeau, Wisconsin 13 hours we finally got to our rooms, rest about an hour, grab something to eat and watch my fighters do some light sparring to loosen up an finally crash. I was a little worried about Dave because his weight was a little more than I wanted it, but after a few adjustments to his diet and water intake it quickly became a non-issue all without suffering or losing strength.

The next day at weigh-ins, he made weight with room to spare. Time for more well needed rest and some food. Myself, Dave, Rampage, Torre and Thao had a blast, Rampage cracking jokes left and right helped take the tension and our minds off the fight for awhile. Fast forward to Saturday night.

Torre Reames was the first to fight, first time in the cage in almost 6 years and making his pro debut and what a debut it was, he wound up winning his first pro fight in the second round with a rear naked choke submission. Awesome. One down one to go.

After a few more contests, it was Daves turn, I started working with Dave on his strength and conditioning a little over a year ago and his progress has been tremendous, the strength that we built when he was 230lbs remained at 185lbs his conditioning was off the charts and lean as hell. No surprise he submitted his opponent with a rear naked choke after destroying him with his stand up as well.

In short, it was a VERY successful weekend not only for Team Rampage but MPF Training Systems as well. Couldn't be more proud!!

Also big props to former NFL wide receiver Michael Westbrook, great person and an honor to be able to help him out!
