Hi everyone, I´d like to let everyone know that I am indeed in Cuba, training in Boxing with one of the best trainers around. For those of you that have heard horror stories about the country let me put some of those at rest.

1. there is food to be eaten, but it is not good

2. the people are nice, albeit some try to hustle you for shirts and soap

3. there are many things to do, and not everyone wishes to leave

We have taken many videos, some of training, some of extracurricular activities like rock climbing while smoking a cigar, scuba diving, and the best so far……drinking milk straight from the cow´s teet. I even got Master Marcos Avellan to join in on it as well!

Be sure to stay tuned for more in a few days or weeks. I would upload some of the awesome pictures that have been taken so far, but the connection here is as bad as the pizza that restaurants serve so it will have to wait another day.

and Dana White and Joe Silva take notice…..even people HERE know about and watch the UFC! I can´t walk down the streets without people asking me if I boxeo or lucha. When my hermanos here tell them I fight for the UFC, some of the people even have up to date UFC 113 DVD´s!!

There is fighting in the culture down here, even if people don´t have access to watch their favorite boxers, wrestlers, or other fighters……they have a fighting spirit.

Hopefully I will be back in a week or so and can update you guys even more! stayed tuned for updates from Master Marcos Avellan on here, http://www.marcosavellanfans.com, or TeamFFA´s Youtube account….he is scheduled to return before me and can give a better rundown.

Until then, adios mi hombres!

ps….congrats to Seth Petruzelli for his impending UFC return!
