The Ultimate Fighter 12 only 7 days way...Can't wait. Watch for my instructor to rip

I wish I wasn't such a retard and I would link the first 5 minutes of the show thats all over the web. My instructor Marc Stevens is focused on for a good part of the clip.

I'm pumped ..... Premiere party next week at the Tilted Kilt a new bar right across the street from our jiu jitsu school. Marc already set it up so I could go, he told them his boy The Machine had to be there. ( I guess they had a problem with a 12 year old hanging out at the bar doing the premiere. lol.) So I have a spot set up for me away from bar (about 2 feet.lol) but still can hang with the crew and not get the place shut down. So it's all good, and I can't wait.

Make sure my 10th planet friends tune in and send him good vibes, he's a good dude. Not the biggest 10th planet fan, after all we are a Gracie based jiu jitsu school. But I have moved him from hater, so it's a start.

It used to be ," Conner I see you do that rubber guard shit one more time, i'm going to go over there and smash your in the face in."

We have now got to, "Ok Conner you make alot of that shit work for you....but I'm not calling it rubber guard......I'll call it a high guard." Thats progress, right? lol.

Its that soon?? Damn. Im looking forward to it!!

13 mother fucking seconds??? Your coach is a badass bro!!!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this season will belong to the H.I.Tsquad. Kyle Watson is going to wreck through the show....go coach

Dude, your coach is a beast. Talk about crushing some dude's dreams.

Machine, you know my school used to train your coach before he opened up his school right? Marc Stevens was our premier guy at TaiKai, and now he's knockin dudes out at 13 seconds. Damn, things have changed haha

Sorry Cory, but there were a couple RNC's and the most impressive were from Dane Sayers and Bruce Leroy. But the 13 second TKO stands out among them all.

A lot of heavy handed lightweights this year. It should be an interesting season despite all of the in house stupidity that seems to be taking place this year.

Came home from school early, beat from going to my coach's TUF party at local bar,SSSSHHHHHH dont tell the school board. It was held at The Tilted Kilt. Like Hooters only girls have kilts on.lol. have some nice Pic's if I can figure out how to post them to thread.

Was a awesome night. Coach Stevens was awarded his brown belt last night. So big night all around for him.

I'm sure you will not see my coach get involved in all the stupidness in the house, He's all buisness when it comes to fighting.

I will say I begged him to tell me if Bruce Leroy gets knocked out......Just wishful thinking. I love Bruce Lee and I love the movie The Last Dragon but Bruce Leroy rubbed me the wrong way. LOL. He wouldn't tell me, he just said he was good at rubbing people the wrong way.lol.

Just watched the fight -- nice! I'm looking forward to this season and I'll be pulling for Marc for you Conner. :)

Wasn't Coach Damon awarded his black belt then as well?

"Watch for my instructor to rip"

Kinda funny thread title. R.I.P. coach. I know. I know.

HaHa Nice bobby......lol. Its ok we have thick skin. Can take a joke when done with some thought. Like that one.LOL.

He has risen from the grave. He fights on the undercard for strike force next weekend on Showtime. Here let me beat you to the best internet joke going. "Never heard of this guy Stevens is fighting, but I pick him to win by gilliotine." Coach loves that one.LOL

Yes Francisco, Coach Damon was also awared his Black belt, but he has had his belt for a long long time. He had never receaved it from the head of Team Balance. So it was more of a ceramony than anything.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I have however heard of people getting "re-belted" when they finally settled down with a team they really liked. So who had Coach Damon received his black belt from way back before he got hooked up with Team Balance?

I know he has been belted a couple differant times with schools he taught at. I know he was at Loyd Ervings for a while. I also know of a place in Texas and a school in Albany he faught and taught out of who also rebelted him for there schools because he was there for some time. I found that on my own looking thru the internet and than asked him about it. He has been all over. He's not a real talkative guy.lol. I am sure his original Black belt came from one of the Gracies on the west coast. Not sure to be honest which one. To many brothers and cousins, I lose track of them. I just know the stories I have been told by black belts that have known him for years. How he moved out to Cali right after high school, Lived in his car sometimes. Made money doing odd jobs waiting tables. Just cared about enough money to train jiu jitsu and if had any left stocked up on Romin Noodles. He lived like that for several years from what I have been told. Like I said, he doesnt talk about it much. I will ck and let you know what gracie it was. I also know the first time Sensai Damon was with me at a Naga , Kip Naga's Prez, Pulled me aside and told me Damon had been a legend on the Naga circuit. Everyone wanted to be like him. He told me I was in good hands. I know his jiu jitsu is like no other I have seen and he is upper food chain level with his skill. I always beg him to compete again, but he says with teaching he doesn't have the time to train, and I know he's not the type to compete half prepared.

Thanks, sorry for all the trouble, thought you just might have known it off the top of your head.

I almost think it was Rickson Gracie, but I wouldn't want to say that 100 percent without talking to Sensai Damon. But I'm pretty sure I'm right on that.
