Popular welterweight puncher Phil Baroni (www.twitter.com/PhilBaroni) will blog his experiences leading up to his One FC fight with Yoshiyuki Yoshida for Sherdog.com readers. One FC “Champion vs. Champion” streams live on Sherdog.com on Sept. 3, live from Kallang, Singapore.

I’m sitting in my hotel room at the Holiday Inn on Orchard Road here in Singapore, the local entertainment capital. I was surprised to find out that the Holiday Inn here is a four-star hotel. My 10 cups of coffee at the bar prove it.



I cut 12 pounds this morning with the help of my teammate Josh Thomson and “Big” Grant Sandow. The cut was pretty easy, and I feel great. People always say this, but everything really is going as planned, and I feel like I’m ready to go.



Singapore really is a great place to be. I had a great host in Mei Ling who took care of me, as well as the Gracies and made sure we enjoyed the place. The city’s great, and the weather is beautiful. It would be great to be able to visit here without having to cut weight and prepare to smash Yoshida.



It’s harder for me to write these as we get closer to the fight. I don’t really have much to say when it’s clobbering time. I just keep thinking about how it’s time to f— this dude up in just over 24 hours. After that, I get to have a few cold beers with the fellas. I can’t wait.

RIO DE JANEIRO – UFC notables Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Antonio Rogerio
Nogueira, Junior Dos Santos and Vitor Belfort returned to their roots
Tuesday to inspire the next generation of Brazilian athletes.  

Boxing coach Claudio Coelho, a lifelong resident of the Cantagalo favela
(shanty town), hosted an event at his Academia Nobre Arte (“Academy of
the Noble Art”) in Rio de Janeiro to raise awareness of ongoing efforts
to divert slum youths from a life of crime.

The community gathering was part of a week of events leading up to UFC 134.

Decorated welterweight Brian Ebersole (www.brianebersole.com) will blog his experiences leading up to his UFC 133 clash with Dennis Hallman for Sherdog.com readers.



You know what? I really didn’t give Hollywood, Calif., much of a chance, but I warmed up to it over the course of this last week.



Before arriving there, and coupled with my experiences in northern California, I assumed that Hollywood would be anything and everything but “normal.” But I was well-surprised, as the neighborhoods were similar to what I’d see in Illinois’ nicer suburbs. I thought that Hollywood would have busy streets, busy sidewalks, and really busy people, but to my surprise, it seemed like a pretty relaxed place and folks seemed a bit more down to earth, rather than the pretentious attitude that I expected.



Upon arrival, I headed to an apartment just off of Sunset Boulevard. Part of the reason I decided to take a few days in L.A. was the fact that I had two former teammates living in the area. I stayed with fellow MMA fighter, Andrew Montanez, who had lived with me for a short time in San Jose, where we’d trained at Frank Shamrock‘s academy.
