So this past sunday on 2/1 I completed my first triathlon this season. It was a sprint , like 400 meter lake swim, with a 12 mile bike and a 3 mile run. i completed it in an 1:04, after pentalties which i got for having sunglasses with headphones and having my bike racked in the wrong spot before the race started my official time was 1:08 and i was demoted from first in my age group to 4th. The water was cold around 60 degrees. Not a bad beginning to '09. I hadnt really even trained for it. I havent been on the bike or in the water in months, but i still competed fairly well i thought. Look out, the next tri is this coming weekend on 2/7. Woohoo!

check out the new photo of the month gallery every month starting this month in jan. and the winner is.....

wow! just like i called it. that was a huge ko. anyways lets get to the bottom line. me and my friend nix(hugest arlovski fan)...thats the guy in the picture had a bet going. Since i won, he has to come down from Georgia to my house in florida and stay for a week and do all my laundry. also for public ridicule he has to be seen and have pictures taken for his myspace of him wearing a tshirt i am going to make that has AA knocked out on his face with fedor stands over him and the shirt says " Andre....how tastes my big pee pee" (if you dont get it, you need to look up AA and Tim sylvia on youtube or some forums or something) if i cant get the tshirt he has to get a temporary tattoo on his lower back of fedors face and above has the text : FEDOR 'daddy' Emelianenko! obviously had i lost i wouldve had to have the same thing happen to me. but either way its good to win the bet.

go check out ufc.com for the submissions, knockouts, and fights of the year. For 2008, i was in the top ten submissions of the year with a 6th place finish, with the triangle win over Jorge Gurgel in July. Hopefully in 2009 I can continue the winning ways. thanks to everyone for their support.

This week in MMA , my team, American Top Team, had a phenomenal week. To start off we had the UFC ultimate fight night: fight for the troops. We had Luigi Fioravanti winning by unanimous decision, Steve Bruno winning by Rear naked choke, and Ben saunders winning by major beatdown!!! Moving onto Saturday night we had Wilson Gouveia win at the UFC ultimate fighter finale by submissoin to strikes against Jason McDonald. Great win for Wilson! Also my brother, Micah Miller won at the CQC and became their first lightweight champion in charlotte, NC. Also in action, former WWE champion , Bobby Lashley won his bout, along with Jeff Monson, and Daniel " the kunkfu panda "! way to go guys.
