Congrats Jaime; Dinner w/Christie & DaMarques Johnson!

GOOD LUCK TO DAMARQUES JOHNSON IN THE UFC TOMORROW AGAINST MATT RIDDLE!!!

Congrats to Jaime to his 3rd Place finish in his division and 3rd Place in the Absolute Division at today's Grappling X tournament in Long Beach! David went up to coach Jaime and did a fantastic Job!

Jaime lost his first match in a close one but went on to win the rest of his matches with 8 guys in his division. He qualified to compete in the Beginner's Division but on my advise, competed in the Intermediate Division and did Awesome!

Jaime made lot's of friends and will make a big jump in his game from this experience!

Jaime and his proud family!

Christie invited Kidd & I to dinner in San Diego with DaMarques Johnson and his corner! this pic includes; Matt Pena, Sean O'connel, Christie & Mike Phillips, and Jeremy Horn
