Well I am two weeks into my UFC on Fuel 8 camp where I will be the main event vs Wanderlei Silva. I have used supplements my entire career and have tried numerous “post workout” shakes. Whey, waximaize, and many more, none have truly been able to help me recover & refuel for multiple intense [...]

I have been training consistently since my last fight w/ Michael Bisping despite my crazy travel schedule. I hate having to sit around after a loss and always want to get right back in the octagon. I have brought in some new coaches since my last fight, Rodrigo Artilheiro, BJJ Black Belt, Judo Black Belt, [...]

It has always been tough for me to “take it easy” in between fights, however after a loss it is multiplied by 10. I find myself unable to enjoy downtime, still getting in the gym everyday, and eagerly awaiting a matchup announcement. This same level of seriousness and focus has certainly helped me succeed in [...]

I hope this finds everyone well. I am currently in LA filming for UFC on Fuel/Fox and doing color commentary for Golden Boy Boxing on Fuel. It is fun work and I have started to find some good training spots in the area. Last night I trained with the Santa Anna College Wrestling team and [...]

UFC 152 obviously did not go as I would have hoped. I am already taking the necessary steps to improving my weaknesses and correcting the errors from that fight. I have started back training hard and hope to fight again quickly. Despite the improvements in my wrestling I stilll gave up 4 takedowns that ultimately [...]

Training is going great thus far and my house is full of fighters. All American Wrestler Raymond Jordan, World Champ Tom Watson, Coach Mike Valle, and all of my Atlanta crew have been going strong for weeks now. I am stronger and faster this camp due to a more detailed and integrated Strength & Conditioning [...]

So far training has gone better than anticipated. My shoulder has gotten better each week despite training so hard. I have a lot of great guys around me Doug Lima, Dhiego Lima, Roan Carneiro, Warren Thompson, Manu Ntoh, Raphael Assuncao, & more. Soon Raymond Jordan, Tom Watson, and Jake Murphy will be here helping me [...]

I hope this finds everyone well and I would like to preface this blog with sincere blessings to all afflicted by the tragedy in Colorado. UFC 149 is complete and I had the privilege to be in LA as part of the post fight show. The main card was slow but the fighters on the [...]

Recently I requested to fight Michael Bisping after he mentioned fighting me on Fuel TV’s “UFC Tonight” show. It seems there is mutual interest between Mike and myself in that fight. The reasons this is a good fight for me is obvious. Bisping is ranked higher, paid more, and closer to a title shot than [...]

All, I will be an analyst for FUEL TVs weigh in, prefight, and post fight show this weekend in Vegas. I figured I would send out my breakdown of the Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen fight via my Gaspari Nutrition Blog. First off, I had the pleasure of training with Chael for this fight before [...]
