DN: Hey guys just wanted to give you a little update on what’s going on! September 21st I had the Ultimate Fighter 14 Premiere in Indianapolis at Jillians downtown. It was awesome! Throughout the night I think we probably had 80 people at the party. It was great to see a lot of old faces and friends who have supported me through out this awesome journey that fighting has took me on! I have been able to train with 9 time UFC world Champion and UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes for 2 years. I have also been able to get on to the show The Ultimate Fighter 14. Now it has lead me to a new point in my career which is at Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, CA. I plan on being here for a few years and try and pick up as much as I can from some of the great fighters from this camp like Urijah Faber, Chad Mendes, Joseph Benavidez and Justin Buchholz. The training sessions are intense but that’s what I need right now and that’s whats going to help me take my fight game to the next level. I also have a lot of really good people supporting me right now! I have my beautiful girlfriend Jaclyn Amber and Infuse Fight Gear and also Fleyes Gear and Marc Fiore Fioremma.com. They have all had back this whole time and that has really helped me succeed in the past 2 years. Before them my MMA career was iffy and it could have gone either way. I was not training hard and was not really doing what a professional fighter should to compete at the level I wanted to compete at! Marc Fiore set me down and told me that I needed to train and not worry about fighting so much. This sucked because I am a fighter and I love to fight but he was 100% right! So I did what he said. I also had to get away from some of the shady people who hold shows in Indianapolis and find a good match, someone who was really going to watch out for me and also give me competitive fights and I found that in Mark Slater of Colosseum Combat! Everything Mark said he was going to do leading up to a fight he did and that means a lot to a fighter! For more updates please follow me on my fanpage Dustin “TheBeast” Neace!
