Doug is a 4th Degree Black Belt at Gracie Arizona in Phoenix.  Doug and I compete against each other almost every tournament.  We share the competition mats as "rivals" but we have a lot of respect for each other as friends.  I have learned so much from Doug and he pushes me harder than anyone I have ever competed against.  I felt having him on the podcast was a must.    
We talk about preparation for competition and how it starts with the type of food you eat.  Nutrition is so often overlooked in our preparation but it is the most important aspect of preparation.  Recovery is another aspect that is overlooked.  It falls second in my list of importance in preparation for competition.  
Doug found Jiu Jitsu by being a UFC fan and seeing a young Royce Gracie beat much larger fighters.  After watching UFC fights on VHS for a while he decided to give Jiu Jitsu a try.  He searched out Gracie Jiu Jitsu and found Nathan, Gustavo and Megaton were the only names that came up.  Shortly after he started training at Gracie Arizona.  
Doug has a few amateur MMA fights and countless Jiu Jitsu tournaments under his belt.  His Jiu Jitsu knowledge and competition experience is amazing.  I think everyone with get something out of this podcast.
