A refelction on Cibola at the AZ state wrestling tournament

Posted by Edgar Garcia On March - 4 - 2010

I was able to attend the AZ 5A state wrestling tournament a little bit ago to cheer on the school where I won my state championship and coached at for a year with coach Pepe Moreno.

Cibola did a great job as always under Pepe. There were some closes losses, one unfortunate disqualification and one upset against Cibola but for the most part the kids fought hard and did great.

The 103 Rafael Jaimes is a Sophomore and he took 4th at 103. He is the son of the first state champ in Raider historu.

112- The defending state champ from Cibola is a junior and could have been the school’s first 3 timer but he got upset by a Freshman that came out of nowhere and the title. Adam took 3rd place and will be back next year.

119- Eric Arias took 4th

135- Ernesto Prieto wrestled a rematch from last years state finals where he got beat up. This year he took it t0 the and had the take down for the win but just couldnt pull it off at the end. Great match and best wrestling Ernesto ever wrestled. He ended with another Runner up

152 Diego Sanchez took 3rd

BIG BEAR

Posted by EFRAIN ESCUDERO On March - 1 - 2010

What’s up everyone, I’m blogging from Big Bear, California, I got up here a few days ago to help out Shannon Gugerty for his upcoming fight on March 28 on Versus vs Clay Guida. I flew in from Vegas where I was doing some stuff for Spike tv and Edgar Garcia picked me up at the airport in San Diego, Edgar came up because Brandon Vera is also doing his camp up here for his fight against Jon Jones on the same card so Edgar came up to help out Brandon its going to be fun watching them spar soon. So far we’ve been in a snow storm it was pretty cool seeing the snow fall and seeing Edgars truck covered in snow of course we never see this stuff in Arizona so we are enjoying it. Training has been going great the 6,800 ft elevation really blows up the lungs and gets you into great shape I could really feel it when i was rolling and wrestling and hitting pads but it feels great getting back in the mix of things im going to continue training until my camp starts which is soon then the extremely hard work will begin. Sometime this week we hope to go snowboarding for the second time, lets just say the first time didn’t go so well in Flagstaff. Heading out for the second training of the day I want to thank my fans and sponsors for there great support and all the mtx fight team and anyone wants get a hold of me contact my manager first please.

NY CITY…

Posted by benson henderson On February - 27 - 2010

So I just got back from my first-ever time to NYC, even though I was only there for about 26 hours or so I had a GREAT experience…the reason I was out there at all was to meet with a company that may be sponsoring me pretty soon…had a photoshoot to do and met with some of their staff and employees as well as got introduced to their head-honchos…the two guys that I spent most of my time with and got to know were some real cool cats who I thought did a superb job of representing their company, good people…anyways long story short I hope to have some good news to tell all you guys here on smoothben.com within the next week or so…say some prayers for me please…

GOD bless…

p.s.
I snuck up on the empire state building, hehe…
and yeah I got to see the WORLD TRADE CENTER SITE (ground zero) talk about an incredibly sobering sight…

Happy Birthday to Me!

However my best gift was a Dora the Explorer birthday card in Spanish from my coach Chance. On Monday I hungout with my friends and family. We drink patron and bud light until 7 am. I ate dinne with my family at apple bees and conitnued the celebration. On Wednesday Efrain came down and we all went to Mexico to party again. Another early morning bed time.

But dont be worried guys It was my B-day. I am back training again already. Stay tuned for updates on Shannon Gugerty’s camp he fights March 27th against Clay Guida. Efrain and I are headed to Big Bear.

Congrats to Cain for representing Yuma

Posted by Edgar Garcia On February - 24 - 2010

Hey everybody, hope all is well.

This weekend I watched UFC 110 in Australia and it was a great fucking card. First off congrats to Cain for his TKO of Nog. Nog is a great guy who allowed me to stay at his house in Miami. He is extremely friendly and a living legend. It was hard to root against him , so I didn’t i just rooted for Cain. I smell a new HWT champion soon.

After the UFC we celebrated drinking beers in back yard. My coaches Chance Farrar and Anthony Haile stopped by and hung out. We ate manta ray and shrimp. Drank some Bud lights. Good shit.

Thanks for checking the blog. Check back this week to read my blogs about my B-day and Cibola Wrestling.

UFC 110 and this weekend

Posted by Chris Camozzi On February - 21 - 2010

Whats up MTX fans. This weekend had some awesome fights (in my opinion). Im glad Silva won and I was on my feet at the end. Me and My girl had a bunch of people over our house and everyone was going nuts after wand dropped Bisping at the end. I was really impressed by Cain as well. You have to love Big Nog, the guy is a legend and its sad seeing him lose but big props to Cain. I couldnt believe that cut cro cop opened up on that perosh guy. I wonder how many stitches he got? Also Chris Lytle pulled off that rolling knee bar. I havent seen a finish by knee bar in a while.

In other news, I still cant chew or train with contact but Im starting my crossfit again Monday morning. Im excited to really start training again. I will be interested to see how much energy I have. Without being able to eat much, I wonder if it will effect me. I will let you know how it goes. I have a follow up doctors appointment Tuesday afternoon so hopefully it goes well and he tells me I can start eating.
I just recently started teaching the youth mma at LA Boxing in Highlands Ranch (Colorado). Its alot of fun getting to teach little kids all about MMA. Im also teaching private lessons to anyone down there so if you live in Colorado and your interested in kickboxing, boxing, BJJ or MMA come down and try it out with me.

Using my spare time well

Posted by Chris Camozzi On February - 17 - 2010

If you have read my previous blogs you know that I am unable to train right now due to injury. This sits pretty hard with me because training everyday is my life. I usually fill my whole day with my training schedule. So lately Ive been trying to find ways to spend my time during the day. Ive had a chance to spend alot more time with my girlfriend Sacha and her daughter Isabela which is nice. Ive also been heading down to our local LA Boxing to help Jermy Malaterre coach some guys that are interested in learning MMA. I never realized how much fun it is to coach people that are truly interested in learning. Ive also taken over the kids classes.
