Met Richard at one of our local casinos in northern California last night. Key info:
*Working with nate not nick at the moment
*nicks management(s) stiffed him NOT nick. Management(s) shady as F
*Nick vs Anderson fight week, Nick actually asked for and personally contacted Richard to fly to Vegas to help him, rich said yes but management didn't want to make him a contract so he didn't trust them, been stiffed too many times.
*loves n wants to work with Nick but doesn't want to be stiffed again. Just asking for contracts in place from management ...
*sounds like ufc setting up nick fight in August already but personally didn't know who yet.
*conor did ask to fight nate (didn't clarify if pre mendez/post aldo. I'm guessing pre mendez.
Talked for about 15 minutes, might make a twitter account just to suggest Ariel an interview with him. Anyways if anyone ever sees the guy definitely say what's up, he seemed to genuinely enjoy talking with us. 209! Lol 
Always wanted to meet him, cool VU 
His gym is around the corner from the Graciefighter Manteca gym. He's a cool old dude. His gym is looking pretty busy.
Btw whats up UG. I believe second post but first thread. I figured it was worth sharing. Lurking since iPhone 3gs came out haha, first fight ordered was ken shamrock v Ortiz 1. Became a Follower of mma after ufc47 (had to Google that) just remembered chuck vs Tito and being in awe by diaz v lawler (just knew lawler was a juggernaut and didn't know who this guy talking shit was but I thought it was amazing) became a diaz fan that very day and glad to see robbie at the top today.
Ps I kinda wish I would a went with the name "ThatOne15er" damn...
