First of all wow it has been a while. Let me tell you what has been going on lately. I just fought in san diego california for the UFC against a game Steve Steinbeiss. I had a war with the undefeated K-1 kickboxer from England. I escaped with a victory although I was in lots of pain for several days after the fight. I showed my heart and toughness as well as my improved conditioning by coming on stronger the longer the fight went. I didn't get to show much striking but that may be what I get to show the next fight. I will be back in training monday. I cant wait! I am feeling great and other than lots of bruises I am injury free so I am ready to get back in it. I truely want to say thank you to all my friends and fans for supporting me. I couldn't of done it without my coaches, training partners, family, and the support of my fans and friends. I love that my fans represent and defend me on these websites and forums. Much Love everybody.

I am getting stronger and faster very quickly. After hiring my new strengh and conditioning coach at www.slinkfit.com. I will be a beast like you have never seen before in my next fight. I will be doing many fun activities soon. I will ref some fights on june 4th at the casino. I will be signing stuff and chit chatting with people while watching the ufc at the fox and the hound june 12th from 8 to 10.  Finally I will be going to the zero tolerance show signing stuff and kicking it june 18th. Come by and frolic and play. We should have good clean fun. lol

If any of my good freinds out there in internetland, would like to be trained in the skills of beatdownology, then I am your professor... Sorry about that runon sentence. My English teacher is probally really mad at me now. lol. But seriously I will be teaching jujitsu, striking, or mma to anyone who wants to pay me to learn. I have wanted to get back into training for a while and now that I have hooked up with the good folks at slinkfit my dreams have become reality once again. Contact me via website, facebook, myspace, twitter, or email(rosedalereaper@gmail.com) and we can set it up. I charge 100 dollars per hour but it is worth every penny. I am a third degree blackbelt in american jujitsu, pro mma fighter with a 24-5 record, 6 titles in the sport, (4 regional and 2 world titles) and the only current UFC fighter in the area. With 20 knockouts and 15 submissions under my belt I can teach you a well rounded game so you will be ready in any area of fighting.

Well guys nothing too funny to let you all know about. Let me tell you how my day started off today, as you know the Midwest weather sucks and it snowed yesterday along with the 15 degree temp. it had some negative effects as always! I woke up bright and early to find out I had no water again, yes again! That was the worst feeling to have again ,I thought that surely the pipe busted in our back house again and expected to spend a few hundred and a whole day of labor fixing it again. Before I lost my cool I "calmly" went out to the hardware store and bought some tape to wrap around the pipes that plugs in and provides heat. After an hour of freezing in the basment I had it all wrapped up. Not long after I noticed that the pipe that already had the tape on it had not been plugged in this whole time, which casued the frozen blow out before, I had asked my son to check an hour before to see if it was plugged in and he said oh yeah its on. Thats what I get for listening to a teenager (lol). I wish I would have noticed that before running out and buying more. I smiled and plugged it back in. Two hours pass and I'm on the phone with family trying to figure this out and fix some new problem ,and the next thing you know my wife is washing her hands! Wow was I relieved that it only needed tape to be fixed! Having no water is horrible. All of this caused me to miss my morning training this morning so now I'll be busting a move Tuesday morning! Other than that things are going great, Valentines was awesome (thanks for asking lol) ,and I'm feeling better than ever for this fight March 21, 2010. Everything is going as planned ,time is getting shorter for me to get my sponsors finalized by the deadline for this fight if you are interested in Sponsorship please let me know asap. And as always I will keep you entertained and on edge for this fight. I have dropped back down to Welter Weight so this will be awesome! I will blog more again real soon but right now this is cutting into my PS3 training for the remainder of my night ,7 a.m. comes early so I'm off to kill some demons and save lives. Thanks for all of the love and support you all show! God Bless !Rob

All I have been doing is home repairs lately. My dad, my uncle donnie, and I fixed three different pipes on three seperate occasions. I had to replace all my sewage pipes also and that also sucked. My uncle Donnie  did all the sewage pipes and I helped. I have a lot of respect for all the plumbers out there because it is real hard work. I need to start cutting because I am going back to 170 for the next fight on march 21st I believe. I will release all the details when I get the contract. I was without water for 16 days so It put a strain on the training so I am making up for lost time. I will be training at several schools for this fight just to get a lot of different training partners. I will be a beast at 170 again. I am very excited. I feel more motivated than ever. I have had the worst 3 months I can remember with deaths in my family, numerous family members going in and out of the hospital, I've been broke , and a bunch of other stuff. Hopefully it turns around today.

 Its going down today. I am going to engage this turky and this ham in a no holds barred fight to the finish. I will have to start the dieting next week because today it is on! Turky and ham and all the fixins are going to GET IN MY BELLY! Cherry, Chocolate, and of course Pumpkin pie for desert. I will be kickin it with the family on thanksgiving crackin jokes and watchin football for as long as I can stay awake. I am very thankful for all the people in my life. I owe you all a lot. Happy Thanksgiving!

I went down to Adrenaline last night and got in some good training. I am going to start cross training down there with Jason Bircher (a black belt in Brazillian Jujitsu) to tighten up my jujitsu as well as learn some new moves for the toolbox. It went great and I didnt feel any of the dizziness that I did that sunday with Nick Nolte. Maybe a little but not like sunday. I am getting better and healing up. I havent been able to train much but have managed to keep my weight still at 199. That is pretty good considering I have mostly been laying in bed and playing video games. My good friend James Krause should be making weight today, so he is  likely miserable right now. Good luck James. This is a big week for kansas city mma because about ten of my friends have big fights this week. Good luck to all of them and I wish I could have helped them get ready more than I did. Sorry but my body wasn't working right yet.

I got my MRI results back and its all good doggy. I dont got any brain damage. (no more than usual) It looks like I had a concussion so thats why I am dizzy. It should go away in a week or two. I am hitting the gym hard as soon as I feel better. I hate being sidelined. I have been getting bored as hell sitting at home all day with nothing to do. At first it was fun being able to play video games all day but now I done beat all my games so I am sick of them. Plus I lost my last fight so I cant afford to buy any new games. :(  I am so hungry to train again. I feel mean, like I want to punch holes through people. I wish I could spar a little but I cant. I might go punch the bag downstairs for a couple rounds just to get rid of some of this aggression. On a happier note, my boy James Krizause is fighting soon so he is looking like a horse right now probally. j/k. That guy cuts so much I can see his teeth through his cheek. It makes me feel like superman with x-ray vision. If your reading this good luck homie. All you friends out there drop a prayer for him, we need this W. (that stands for win, in case you didnt know) Thanks for checking in again friends. God bless.

The nice folks at the UFC got me an mri today at 4. It looks like I had a concussion in that fight with Jorge. I will know for sure later. It looks like I got another week off. :) I might not trim many pounds off this week. I took all my measurements except my running times. I want to time a mile run and a two seperate forty times. I just dont want to bust my head doing it. Running with my head spinning equals more problems that I dont need. So until I can get cleared to train hard I got to pick up the slack with my diet. Great. My favorite. Dieting it is. Thank God for video games, looks like I wont be doing nothing else this week.

Yesterday was my first day back in the gym. I rolled for about 2 and a half or 3 hours. My body was having serious technical difficulties. My head kept spinning and I kept getting dizzy. I might think about blocking punches with something other than my head in my next fight. :) I think it is a little early to get back in it. I am taking an extra week off of mma training. Now on a funnier note... I did my athletic fitness pre test which is just some test I made up to track my progress in functional strength and speed before my next fight. The results were less than I was hoping for but hey at least I know I will improve. My diet is gradually starting as well. I dont want to post my stats but will post the improvements or any decreases in numbers or times in each biweekly test that I take. Every other weekend. I will also post the +/- to my measurements, (ex. +.25 inch biceps, -.5 inch belly). That way all my friends out there can follow my progress. God Bless all you wonderful people who visit my website.
