We are both heavyweights who have won the muay thai division of World Classic twice in a row (me in 2006 and 2007) and Nojim (2009 and 2010). If faced Nojim in a preliminary round in the 2010 World Classic. He caught me with a left hook that the judge stopped at 4 seconds into the count ruling a TKO.

I want my chance to face an opponent of his caliber again. He is legit. A lot of power and surprising speed and good combinations followed by kicks.

Since my loss, I have lost 30 pounds of unwanted baggage (from my 230 fight weight which I had been cutting down to 215) to 200 pounds even. I have never felt better in the gym. I am ready to face this guy and take either the 2011 WCC belt or face him somewhere else if he will give me a rematch.

I am calling you out Nojim. You are today's best heavyweight kickboxer, but I will be bringing something to this fight and you will know you have been in a war.
