Over the next 4 weeks, I am both honored and blessed to be Strength and Conditioning Coach for one of the top MMA Cage Fighters in the world, former UFC and present WEC, World Extreme Cage Fighting Super Star, Leonard "Bad Boy" Garcia. I am helping Leonard prepare to step back inside the Octagon, August 9, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Before I continue, I want you to know, Leonard does not drink or do drugs. He is passionate about what he does and he also enjoys spending time with his family and friends!

Leonard has a work ethic that is second to done! If everyone had his drive, focus and determination the world would be a much nicer place.

What I have in store for Leonard to get him ready will not be easy and that is an understatement to say the least but I know he will face it and attach it like he does everything else. Leonard is already great but when he steps inside the cage five weeks from now, he will have become something we don't have a name for yet! :)

Having said that, if you ever get a chance to see Leonard in action, you are in for non-stop action. He is one of a kind. Yet he seemed to be embarrassed when I compare him to the Michael Jordon of MMA. Despite his extraordinary talent he is humble. This is another one of the many honorable traits I admire about this young yet seasoned warrior.

He has the "IT" factor ladies and gentlemen. So every time he fights, you must keep your eyes on him every single moment because you may miss something spectacular!!

Please check back - Leonard is getting ready for his big fight & so are Big Bertha and I - 8000 miles, over 28-days and the Alaska Highway North and South!! We'll keep you posted!!

Until next time my friends - God Bless, DJ & Big Bertha
