I just got back right now, he came to a college here in Ottawa and I was able to partake in a little session with him with. The guy was extremely friendly, and had no problem answering anything you asked him. Very helpful, he helped me with some variations of some punching techniques. Some quick notes:
-Expects to be fighting in April, doesnt have an opponent yet.
-knee is about 75% right now.
-says UFC is almost 100% having a show in Vancouver in June/July
-he tore pretty much every muscle in his knee during the fight with Anderson. Happened in the 2nd round when he gave Silva a body kick.
-he's legitimately 5'10 as I talked eye to eye with him. VERY thick, not fat, just very thick.
I wasn't really a huge fan of his before today, but after him being such a class act its hard not to become a big fan. Hopefully I'll have some pictures up soon of the session.

Awesome man, always cool to get some of those guys down on the level and be able to talk to them.
