who would you like connor to face next, is there someone who you think may pose a threat or an opponent which would be a super fight, like may/pac in his current division or other division.

well the RDS (rafael dos santos) fight is intriguing. I am pretty excited about that fight. Conor is coming up from his 145 title, to 155.. no preparation fights. He's just going straight for the title at 155. That's ridiculous; and another reason why people love him. I'd just like to see him continue what he's doing; dominating a division then moving up in weight. If he's able to win 155, then maybe 170, and perhaps 185.. that'd be one of the craziest accomplishments in MMA history. That's what he wants to try and do soo.. real excited about Conor, he's a beast.

I am hearing a lot about him recently and I am wondering, what has made his so famous so quickly that he is even targetting may vs pac ppv / gate revenue records.

his confidence & skill. he's an elite striker for mma, excellent timing/counters/aggression. he's basically predicted exactly how his past ~5-6 fights would end (to the round and how they will be defeated). He's just an animal. He's also attempting something you see in boxing, dominate a division and then move up in weight, attempt to dominate a new division. He's talking about owning 155 then moving up to 170. it's crazy.. you don't see that in mma.

so SKYR - Icelandic yoghurt just started being mass marketed in the UK, I basically lived off the stuff in iceland, it's amazing. Better than Greek, really thick and great flavours. And nearly 10g protein/100g, I had no trouble polishing off a 450g tub in one go.

nice!!

i should give this a try:

You guys hear about this?

ya, should be fun. also, it's interesting to see that the nba is now admitting the "kings of dunking" are street dunkers. They gave in and are trying to profit from it, instead of ignoring it like they've done until recently.

hope they get the world's best on that show, would be sick.. also hope they don't gimmick it up & ruin such a simple concept.

I like Sprite street dunk contests the best so far.. I think they've done the best job. Travel the use and find out who the best dunkers are in some area, then have them face off later in the finals. Just wish they'd promote it better and/or put it on TNT.. but now Mountain Dew sponsors NBA or something so, that isn't happening any time soon ;f

Hey Andrew! I used to follow you back in the day (vertical summit days) and noticed that you shifted away from vertical jump training some time ago. I guess I could pore over your whole log to get an answer, but it would be quicker if I just asked you lol. So what happened to the jumping Andrew Darqui that made him become an endurance guy?

P.S. What do you think your current SVJ/RVJ numbers are? LOL

yo! well, jumping adarq was a transition away from basketball, boxing (with running/jump rope) etc.. so i've always been more of an endurance guy. Toward the tail end of when I was dunking, I had started to get back into running & I was transitioning into single leg jumping. All was going good until single leg jumping started becoming very painful.. then i dno, I just drifted away for some reason. Fast forward ~3 years later, I started to train again. So i've been training for about a year now, but, very consistently the last ~6 months or so. As for endurance/running, i'm just going to try and improve more of my "natural talents", which has historically been endurance related.

Current L-SLRVJ might be ~28" or so. I plan to get some jumping in once I get more adapted to speed/power work, so we'll find out eventually. I'd LOVE to get SLRVJ back up to 35", that'd be incredible. I'm not lifting so, could be quite difficult. I'd like for it to be more of a byproduct of jumping & my other training though.

As for SVJ.. dno, maybe 20" or so? Probably very bad. :)
