I train at Tristar Gym in Montreal. That's where Georges St-Pierre and David Loiseau train. Patrick Coté also makes an appearence once in awhile.

Cote, got any tricks up his sleeve for Silva next weekend. While, I like him quite a bit, I don't think he has any shot against Silva unless Anderson completely under prepares for him.

Do you train MMA or something more specific? Just curious if you're training to fight...

I am currently training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Colorado BJJ with Big Mike Nickels, from the third season of TUFF. I am not training to fight, I'm just doing the BJJ stuff cause I love it.

I box at the gym. I train for the sport and self defense. Before that I did Tea Kwon Do. I love sparring and do it for the exercise. I don't have any plans to fight, concentrating on school and working is enough on plate. I do plan to start Vale Tudo maybe next summer. I would need to take some private lessons in BJJ and wrestling first.

The ring, mats and bags are shared side by side with the guys training MMA/Vale Tudo. It's a huge space of maybe 75 people on a given week night with two rings. I take part in a 20 person training session and St-Pierre can be rolling on the mats across the room with his partners when he's in town.

Bisping is picking him apart.

I was getting ready to post the same thing.

Leben looks like the lost his killer instinct. It seems to me that he threw out his game plan that got him to where he is now, and that's letting his hands go. I can't even count how many time Leben had Bisping hurt with a big hit, and instead of following up, stayed back and let things calm down. Leben needs a good mix between his previous style, and his current technical style. Until he finds that, he will not win.

As far as Bisping goes, he has already been named one of the next TUF coaches. The other coach is between Rich Franklin and Hendo. Since Rich has already done TUF and has recently moved to 205, it's almost a lock that Hendo will be the other coach, making a Bisping vs Hendo fight which is kinda ****ed, since IMO, Bisping should be fighting Anderson next.

I could see Bisping fighting Anderson but I think that fighting Hendo will prove that he's ready for that fight. I think it's a good call, to get Bisping a good fight at the highest level before fighting someone like Anderson. Not a knock on Bisping, but I don't think anyone he's fought could be considered at that level.
