Carmont: "I can submit Jacare".
"Everything is possible in a fight. A fight is a fight. Of course i can submit Jacare. Hes on the most dangerouns guys ive ever faced, has amazing BJJ and i look forward to fighting him. I know he's great on the ground, but i am not like anybody he has ever faced. I am ready for everything. If he wants a stand up fight, we'll do it. If the takes me to the ground, i'll be ready".

#11908UFC and TUF:Smashes veteran Benny Alloway (12-5) fights for the first time since his UFC release and he will be fighting at Cage Warriors 65 against Jack Mason (26-12). Alloway has joined up with #WHOATV and will be providing a weekly blog leading up to his fight on March 1st in Dublin, Ireland. (above image comes via rectangleimages)
A new beginning:
So let’s get right into it. My UFC release…I felt shit! It was expected. I actually expected to get released after my fight in Sweden so I was lucky to get another fight. It was painful, it was sort of the end of the dream for that time.
I took a few months off doing a small bit of training but mainly spending time with friends and family until I came to the decision that I wanted to get back to the UFC. So that is what I am going to do now, I am gonna try and get back there. I think the break has been good for me both mentally and physically.
Last year was kind of a crazy year for me. My baby boy growing up and me learning to be a father and then the UFC, so it is has all kinda calmed down now. I am a bit more relaxed with life and I am a bit more mature as a person so hopefully that shows in the cage.
So why did I go back to Cage Warriors? I had a few offers from promotions in Australia and also with Legend FC but wanting to get back to the UFC my manager and I thought that Cage Warriors was the best promotion to go with. They are one of the benchmarks outside the UFC and if you want to get back to the big show then Cage Warriors is one of them promotions that can certainly help with that.
Being offered to fight in Ireland was cool, I have always wanted to go there. My uncle is Irish and I’ve wanted to go there and drink beer. Hopefully we get this victory and I can celebrate with a few Guiness’ after.
I am fighting Jack Mason. I don’t think he is a very exciting fighter. From the fights I have been able to see he tries to play the points game and then he goes for the takedown at the end of the round to score the win. He’s a pretty accomplished ground fighter judging by his record. Lately he has been a decision kind of guy whereas I like to finish and be exciting in my fights.
We are just a contrast of styles so hopefully it is an exciting fight.
Since the UFC I have also moved to the other side of the country to work for my brother at an iron ore mine. It is a change, it is crazy actually. There are thousands of people on site, massive machines everywhere and trucks, it’s pretty full-on. Not what I am use to but it’s cool, I am learning and seeing something different. My brother has been here for 8 years so he has been able to show me the ropes. He makes me work hard but he made it easy to get time off work. He is also really into me fighting and was going to come over to watch me fight but he has to stay and work. All the boys will be able to watch me fight while they are having their breakfast.(Photo: Dolly Clew | Cage Warriors)
It is a tough week here. I am training from 4am to 5am in the morning, then working all day and then back training 6pm to 8pm in the evening. Still doing all my disciplines, my boxing, my BJJ, my muay thai etc. I’m sure I’ll be in pretty good shape for this fight.
My family are still living on the East Coast and I get to go home for 7 days each month. It has been hard to be away from them but it makes it better for when I get back, I make the most of my time with them.
Next week I will talk a bit more about training and work and whatever else pops into my mind. Make sure to follow me on twitter @bennyblancomma.

#11911GSP Breaks His Silence
Speaking to Michael Landsberg of Canadian TV station TSN’s George St-Pierre revealed a lot regarding his feelings toward Dana White, his current stance on drug testing and whether he will come back and compete in the UFC.
On fighters on drugs:“I cannot answer this question, but there [are] a lot of people on drugs. I’m never sure 100%. The reason is I don’t want to accuse any individual. If you accuse one individual 20 others will arrive. What I want to attack? I want to attack the system. I don’t want to attack the individual. People have to understand, I don’t want to attack the UFC. I’m one of the guys that stands for the sport, stands for the UFC. I want to do that to help the brand, help the sport. I’m one of the guys that fights for the legitimacy of my sport.Talking to Lorenzo Fertitta and his feelings toward Dana White:
“I think right now there is a big problem. When I came out with this I got so many text messages from guys who are afraid to speak. Not even fighters, reporters are afraid to lose their credentials, but they tell me ‘You’re doing the right thing. We support you.’”
“I had a talk with Lorenzo and I think it’s going to be a good thing. It’s going to be a lot of change and it’s going to be all good for the sport. I think it’s the next step for us to reach even more people, to be more legitimate. It’s a new sport.On the pressures of being ‘GSP’:
“Lorenzo is the boss. You have to understand, I’m not afraid or mad at Dana. Dana is the promoter. He said stuff and I don’t take it personally. Dana is the business guy. He’s a promoter and it’s his role as a business man to want to make a rematch [with Johny Hendricks] because it will attract a lot of people. That’s his role. He doesn’t care if you like it or love it or hate it, he wants you to tune in. That’s the main role of Dana White. He did it well. Everyone reacted. He doesn’t care if people say, ‘Oh he’s so bad!’ No, he’s not. He’s a promoter. Probably the best promoter in the world right now, of all sports.”
“I don’t want to have a psychologist or help to keep me on the right track. The stress was eating me alive. Few people can understand this so I needed to step out of it to feel better and to find enjoyment in my life. Now I do.
“It’s not a retirement. I would call it more of a break because I don’t know if I will retire or not right now. I just knew I needed a break from the competition. I started doing it for fun. Then the fun became a business. Then it was not fun anymore. It was too much pressure.”
“I’m a perfectionist. People that know me, they know I’m a little bit off. I’m OCD. I want everything to be done perfectly. Because of that I put so much into my work. I became obsessed. I’m a crazy obsessive person about what I do. I want it to be 100%, which is a good thing but it’s also a bad thing. It can drive you crazy. That’s what was happening to me. I needed to just step off. Not think about fighting. I don’t regret it for a second. I’ve never been a victim in my life.”

#11912I see your on thompson over whittaker as well vaughany. Do you also think that he should be more heavily favored? I figure whittaker has only showed himself to be a standup fighter and thompson should be far better in the striking department. Thompsons wrestling has improved so he shoud have a good chance of stopping whittaker from taking him down should whittaker decide to try to wrestle. Is there anythingg else you can add to that? Any knowledge of whittakers ground game?Comment -

#11929What a oyster.
Argues with me that there is no conflict of interest when he's working between Nick's legs, but now:
"…So take that into consideration and add it on to the already massive conflict of interest of an oddsmaker selling bets."
Another reason to not give this clown any money. No moral center, just says whatever is convenient for him at the time.Comment -
