“Here at AKA, we’ve been putting in a lot of long hours and as usual I’ve got a great team to work with. A lot of guys from other gyms fight their fight, take off for a while, and they don’t worry about training again until it’s their time to fight again. I’ve got (Josh) Koscheck, Josh Thomson and other guys coming back pretty soon after they’ve fought. Phil Baroni’s back in town, and you’ve got these guys rotating in on you. Instead of fighting just one guy for five rounds, you’re fighting five or ten guys for five rounds. So you continuously have fresh guys coming in, and they’re giving you looks, and trying to mimic and do the types of things I think GSP is gonna do so you get used to seeing those things and on fight night you’re not surprised.”
