Can’t wait for the Alan/Ryan fight. If your fighters can’t make it, why not the two of you? Hope Ryan’s a Giantkiller, too… 😉

The only way Ryan and I could fight is if I moved to Darfur for 6 months or if Ryan was sponsored by Burger King…

I vote for the former.

Alan, send me an e-mail or give me a call next week. I’m interested.

How about having something at the NTC or Long Beach at least? Closer to home. Have fun in Darfur, Alan. You”ll be one tall, skinny dude when you’ll come back. 🙁 Hope Ryan will meet you halfway with the fast food.
