Photo Note: As you may have noticed over time, I live life in a intense manner. I thrive on competition and the competition spirit. What you see on the outside is nothing to what I feel inside on a daily basis and in situations like these. This image captures the exact moment when my week lack of sleeping, eating and over thinking preparation was justified by the 50-45 Unanimous Decision. Congrats to Team Edgar Corners Ricardo Almeida, Mark Henry, Phil Nurse and Chris Liguori
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTION FOR PREPARATION & BELIEVING!

@UFC118 Brian Blue of All Star Sports Academy, Steve Rivera of Elite Wrestling, Elite Wrestler Vin Dellefave 2x State Champ, Rutgers

"Its takes more than just words. Actions will speak louder in the end.
Believe in your Dreams, and use that as your motivation to make the
sacrafices it will take to be the best." Steve Rivera
