I just returned from California.

I want to congradulate Brian schwartz on his victory.

I guess it may have looked like we where noit willing to committ. The thruth is that brian did a very good job of using his height advantage as he is 6"3 and has an awesomwe side kick. He stuck to his game plan by utulizing the side kick to keep me at bay for the entire fight.
I trasined very herd for this fight and just could not get my plan into motion as I tried harder in each round in many different ways to make it into a fight but he would not alter his plan and he won.
he caught me 2 times early in the fight which stunned me and I got up to fight hard and tried to close the gap.
After the 5 rd i thought that i was getting closer to him and just could not get himn to stay and fight. he did a great job of side kick and move. I was blocking most shots and avoiding them after rd 6 but could not nail him down. believe me I tried.
i was getting to him in the last few rounds but it was too late at that point.

Brian deserves alot of credit for sticking to his plan and winning.
I want to thank ken hewski,Kadir kadri ,and peter keljavic, for helping me with this fight.

I did my best and will learn from the experience.

I will post photos soon from my trip to San Jose.
