School is open!

Finally! Our school is finally opened. It has been a long two months, but what a great feeling. It was a tremendous amount of work to get it by the electrical and building inspectors. Now just need to finish up painting and making it look nice. Taking down the paper covering the windows tonight!

So any thoughts on UFC? The Big Country Roy Nelson match was awesome. Yes, he is terribly out of shape but what tremendous heart and skill. He did not quit at all. I truly think that if he was able to get Dos Santos Jr. down to the mat and keep him there it would have been trouble for Dos Santos Jr.

But that is Dos Santos Jr.’s strength, not being taken to the mat, and if he is, gets up really quick. How will he do against a wrestler like Lesner and Carwin? I think he will fare better against Carwin because I see Carwin wanting to go toe to toe and Dos Santos KO’ing him. Lesner on the other hand will go straight to the shoot, and Dos Santos will be taken down and pinned. But if he can last he might be able to wear down Lesner and by the third round should be able to avoid the take downs and capitalize on his strength, the stand up game.

Either way either fight will be a good one to watch. And I think Roy has proven to be the man to beat if you want to be considered for a title match.
