Last week I was invited to appear on the show Inside MMA, hosted by Bas Rutten and Kenny Rice, as a guest with Gina Carano & Scott Casber. Bas made me laugh as always because of his crazy personality, that, by the way, I love so much. There were a lot of conversations talking about other fights and other organizations, but because I don't really watch MMA so much in my time off after training, I was not able to stay on the conversation. Even though I'm an MMA fighter, when I'm not training I like to do other things than just MMA stuff. But my favorite part was when they acted like they put a GPS on me and showed my travels on a map. Later I went in Hollywood, CA to shoot a movie, which was pretty cool. I didn't realize how much work filming a scene was - it took me an entire day to film four scenes. The director of the movie, Hector Echavarria, has been a great mentor and a huge help for me because it was the first time that I was doing something like this. He explained to me that acting was like fighting you need to focus on your role and what you need to do and forget about everything else around you being "in the zone". Even though I believe I'm a way better fighter than I am as an actor, I really enjoyed my experience and look forward to do it again. During the filming of the movie I shot a scene where I'm fighting again Fabiano Iha, a former UFC veteran. It was not his first experience on the filming of a movie, so both he and Hector showed me how to throw a punch and a kick for the camera. It is totally different than what you learn at a dojo. If I would use the same technique in a fight, I would never be world champion it would telegraph too much. But in front of the camera, it looks great. While there, I got a taste of the L.A. when I went to a launch party for a new single about to be released. It was pretty entertaining and different from what I'm used to in Montreal. The only bad news about this trip is that I came back home with a bad cold, probably because of my lack of sleep. Sorry for the short entry, but I'm sure after a good night of sleep, tomorrow I will feel better.
