    Mike,

    I am just turning professional in MMA (no pro fights yet). In addition, overseas travel is my passion. How do even the modest/poor fighters fight all over the world? When I hear Marcus Davis state he did this in boxing, despite not being a top contender type- I was very jealous. In addition, I recall Gerald Harris stating how poor he was a few years ago... and then stating he traveled abroad to train. Traveling costs money, so how did he do it?! Signing a contract to fight for an overseas organization, or even living abroad for a bit, would be a great experience. Can you give me any advice? Thanks.

    Hello Mike, i train as well and i heard that you have some sort of stomach problem. I too have that problem. Not sure if it's acid reflux but i have to watch what i eat. When I train i cannot drink water. If i do, i start to feel like I need to throw up. Do you have that same problem? What do you do to treat it?

    Hi Mike,

    I just read about your illness. Sorry to hear about that. I recently went through something similar. I had severe pain in my upper throat for about 1 year. I saw 10 different doctors, both here in Thailand and in the States, and they all misdiagnosed my condition as acid reflux. I tried every proton pump inhibitor on the market but nothing worked. I had an endoscopy done (fully conscious - not fun) and the results came back showing nothing. All the doctors still insisted that it was gerd. They wanted me to go see the uberspecialists in Bangkok. Finally, I came across some Chinese herbal medicine which helped. The pain in my throat is gone. The company is called Enwei. They're online but I think their website is all in Chinese. They have reps here in Thailand so my wife got in touch with them. According to them, my blood is too hot, so I take herbal meds to cool it off. I don't know if their diagnosis is accurate but the stuff works. I have been pain free for almost a year now. It's like a minor miracle. I am not saying the western docs are wrong, but if you do try that neurotoxin and all the other stuff and you're still not better I recommend giving Enwei a try. Maybe you'd want to give it a try before surgery. It's the only thing that worked for me. They list all the ingredients on the bottle so if you want more information you can get back in touch with me. Hope you get better soon.

    Hi, my nephew is 17 and this is his senior yr in high school. He plays football and I was wondering if Jiu-Jitsu would help him. Thanks for your advice.

    Yo!!! Truly an opportunity of a lifetime. Got to meet the man himself, the Quick Addict in the flesh! Much respect, I only wished my son could have been there to witness. He has seen his dad fight so many times. He just absolutely goes nutt's when Dad bangs some dude out! So he is a true fan, just like his Pops. I appreciate it Mike, tell Ed Herman I said thanks as well.....

    Respectfully, the Infantry Troop with the Kevlar!

    Hey I stepped on your foot taking a picture with you last year at the Fan Expo in Vegas (and I'm still sorry!!!) but I guess you didn't even feel it and that blew my mind. Hope to see you there again in May!!! On a side note, no offense to Hardy but, well, you know what happened with GSP...so anyway...you look great and keep being amazing I will be cheering for you :)

    Hey Mike always been a huge fan of yours. You're a great fighter and always show great class in and out of the octagon. Maybe when your free you could come out to Albany and do a seminar with us. Wish you the best of luck in your upcoming fight with Paulo Thiago. Thanks

    Your performance against Hardi was amazing. The reason you are meant for greatness is because you have the heart and soul of a true champion. You inspire the rest of us to always be the best we can be at achieving our goals. You'll learn the lessons of yesterday's fight and you'll come back "better" than before. You'll ultimately get your shot at the title. No matter what happens in the octagon, your are already our champion.

    Finally read the article about in Fight! Magazine (if you haven't read it, pick it up its a good mag) and it said you had a heart condition where your heart beat uncontrollably fast and you could either take meds to control or have surgery. It sounds like I had the same thing SVT and the surgery was a cardiac ablation (sp?) and it really helps to hear that someone that high in the sport had the same thing as me

    Hey Mike,
    Thank you Soooo very much for taking the time to stop for a quick picture with me at the Dallas Convention Centre! You were on your way out and me and my friend (from Albania) said we came from Canada and Europe to see you! Really appreciate that about you that you took that little extra. Looking forward to your next fight and about your clothing store opening up.
    Thanks again Mike
