Ufc gym

  Well its been awhile. I moved back down to Redlands, So I no longer train at Cobra Kai. I'm now training out of the UFC gym in Corona. I still fight for Team Diamond, but the UFC gym has excellent trainers, and equipment. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone. Next Saturday I will have a rematch with Daniel Mcwilliams at Chaos in the Cage. I will be sporting my new Booyyaa gear courtesy of Frank Ramiro.

muay thai

Good week of training @ team diamond. I ran two mma classes this week. We did alot of review and bad position drills. We have 3 guys fighting on a smoker today. Two guys doing mma and one muay thai. I know they will do well they have worked very hard. As for me I did mma and jui-jitsu all week like always. but also went to muay thai. Iworked my hands and footwork. A long week of training. I didn't get home until after 10pm every night. Now i'm just gonna do some weight training and cardio. until monday.

Busy Fighting

Wow time flies. I've had 3 fights since I was last on here. The fights were all last minute fights, except my last one. And they were all 2 weeks of each other.

Tony Dalton vs. Diego Bautista
The first one didn't go so well. I slipped and the guy capitalized on it and caught me in a guillotine choke.

Tony Dalton vs. Daniel McWilliams
The second went alot better. I took a catch weight fight at 195 for king of the cage. I was actually at work when my manager called me. It was 2 hours till weigh ins. I fought 6'4 Daniel McWilliams.

A little bit of an advantage for him, since I'm only 5'6. He won the first round. I dominated the 2nd. And I gave the fight by going for a leg submission putting me in a bad position to end the round.

I lost by decision, but picked up a sponsor in the process, and was invited to fight on another show in Feb.

Tony Dalton vs. Shawn Matteke

And finally my last fight was total domination by me @ Gladiator challenge.

I won all 3 rounds and got the decision win. I should have finished the fight but I gassed out.

Another End of Training Camps...

Finishing up a tough week of training and training camps at both gyms...

We have one fighter fighting in Respect In The Cage on Saturday from Team Diamond and two fighters fighting Gladiator Challenge on Sunday from Cobra Kai.

I had to make a last minute decision this week to not fight. It was tough for me to turn it down. I was asked on Monday if I wanted to fight Respect in the Cage but I decided to give myself a fair evaluation by training at both gyms. My technique was where I needed it to be, but my cardio wasn't....I felt dominant at both gyms, but I was gassing more than I should have been.


The best next thing to fighting is cornering my teammates. I'll be cornering Josh Aviles in Saturdays fight.

Good Luck to my teammates!!

Chris Culley, Josh Aviles, and Jason Walderum!

Jason will be making his Pro Debut...
