Senior year in college with Ryan, my longtime girlfriend Michelle, and Michaella.

 

With Michelle, the day after my first loss to Tyson Griffin.

 

At the afterparty with my mom, after the first Pulver fight. She has never been to a live event, but she will hang out afterward.

 

After a BBQ on the block with some of the top dogs on the team.

Private workout at UFC 139 in San Jose. Skinny and still seven pounds over but feeling good.

Cruising the streets of Sacramento after my victory over Jens. UFC fighter Clay Guida decided to join me on the roof. Joseph, Dustin, and Master Thong were along as well.

With Jens Pulver and his wife, after I fought him at Arco Arena. Big point in my career. First hometown fight in front of a big crowd. Jens was always one of my favorite fighters.

Street-legal dune buggy. I'd always wanted one of these. Best impulse buy yet.

Matt Sanchez borrowing my head (which a fan had airbrushed). We were having fun at the gym before Sanchez was a businessman, Chad was a contender, and Danny was a staple in the UFC. That's me with the Alpha Male hat covering my face.

 

Taking good care of the infamous cleft chin. Getting greased up.
