cool story bro

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A gunman opened fire at a solar and fiber optics manufacturer on Monday, killing five people and wounding four others before killing himself in a domestic violence dispute, police said. The shooting at Emcore Corp. appeared to involve the gunman's ex-wife or girlfriend, who was among the dead, police Chief Ray Schultz said. He said the gunman was a former employee. The 37-year-old male had at least one prior run-in involving domestic violence, Schultz said. Chaos unfolded as the gunman opened fire, sending employees fleeing for cover as police locked down the entire neighborhood. Six victims were taken to University of New Mexico Hospital, spokesman Billy Sparks said. One was dead on arrival, one died in the operating room and one was still in surgery but expected to be transferred to intensive care soon. One of the other three was in the hospital's imaging department and two others were in stable condition in the emergency room. Emcore manufactures components that allow voice, video and data transmission over fiber optic lines. They also manufacture solar power systems for satellite and ground-based systems. Based in Albuquerque, the company has about 700 full-time employees.

Jon Jones sounds almost as surprised to say it as people are to hear it. "I started training, not fighting but learning how to fight, about a year and a half ago," he said. "It has been two years, actually. I remember Christmas break, I'm done with school, and I decided not to go back for a semester. This is about my two-year anniversary. Everything happens for a reason. Everything just falls into place, you know." It’s apparent, however, that things would not have simply fallen into place had it not been for Jones' virtuoso talents. One would be hard pressed to find another 22-year-old mixed martial artist who can be branded, just nine fights into his career and without a hint of overstatement, the future of the sport. Whether or not the Endicott, N.Y.-bred Jones can realize that promise depends on if he can continue to impress with increasingly higher stakes. On Saturday, he takes on Matt Hamill in the featured contest of Spike TV's "Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale" special from Las Vegas. It's Jones’ free TV debut and, before an exceptionally large audience likely to be brought to the table by Kimbo Slice, it could prove a defining fight in Jones' potentially brilliant career. Jones, who this summer began training with the highly regarded Greg Jackson camp in New Mexico, took some time to answer a dozen questions from Sherdog.com about this Saturday's fight. Sherdog.com: Your opponent, Matt Hamill, was first introduced to MMA fans as a cast member on "The Ultimate Fighter 3" in 2006. What were you doing then? Jones: In 2006 I was winning a national title (in wrestling) at Iowa Central Community College. My focus was on being a Division 1 national wrestling champion at Iowa State University. That's the only thing that mattered to me. I was a freshman in college, just trying to keep it real and learning myself, learning how to be an athlete. I was growing into my body a little bit. Sherdog.com: How does a kid from Endicott end up in Iowa, one of the nation's wrestling hotbeds? Jones: I had worked real hard. It was always my dream to be a New York state champ. My senior year I finally achieved that goal, which invited me to the national championship tournament for seniors only. I was ranked 11th in the country and I ended up taking 4th. I got looked at by a lot of Division 1 colleges. I honestly didn't have the grades out of high school to be a Division 1 athlete. Iowa State and Iowa, they were looking at me, and they said, “Let's keep this kid in Iowa.” They got me into an Iowa junior college. I was roommates with a guy named Joe Soto (today the Bellator Fighting Championships featherweight champion). His dream was always to be an MMA fighter. We stayed in the same room, and that kid would just sit there and watch YouTube videos and have fighting on all the time. He kind of introduced me to the sport, but I had no interest in fighting whatsoever. Honestly, I thought he was kind of crazy for being so brave to fight people. Now, we both ended up being pretty decent martial artists. It's pretty crazy how it worked out. Sherdog.com: What career track were you on before MMA? Jones: I was studying criminal justice and I wanted to be a law enforcement officer in my hometown. Endicott, New York, man. I thought it would be so cool to be a hometown police officer. I've always been a person who tries to do the right thing in life, for the most part. I'm no angel, but I was always the kid who snitched on the kids who had pot. I don't want to offend the pot smokers out there, but I was kind of just a snitch. I was just down for people doing the right thing. My parents kind of raised me to be a good guy. I've always been down for the good side, I guess. Sherdog: Talk about your faith and the role it's played in your ascension. Jones: I credit my faith for pretty much everything that's been happening in my life. I'm a Pentecostal Christian (and) my dad's a pastor, so I've been going to church every Sunday since I was a small child. I had it rough growing up, and my life was never perfect. From where I was in (2006 and 2007), like a kid, and to be on this beautiful journey, it's just such a blessing. There's been guys who have trained in this sport for years and they've dedicated their whole lives to this, and here I am. I came out of nowhere, and on my two-year anniversary I'm fighting in the main event. I realize all of this could be gone in a heartbeat. I try to not take any of this for granted and realize that God blessed me and he's given me these opportunities. It's just such an unlikely story. God just blessed me with a champion's mindset and confidence. Sherdog: What kind of kid were you growing up? Jones: As a kid I was never popular. I was always kind of just nice to everyone. I don't know. It was always about me and my brothers growing up. I joined the wrestling team in seventh grade and I never took time off from the time it started. When kids would get one season in a year, I'd get three seasons in in a year. I would be doing freestyle and Greco. My parents kept us pretty sheltered. We were never allowed to spend the night at our friends' house, not once. We were always taught to take care of our family and do the right things. Sherdog: Have you ever had a near-death experience? Jones: Actually I did. In Rochester, New York, me and my brothers and my mom, we were at a beach and they told us not to go out to a certain point. I swam out there and started realizing that I couldn't touch the ground. I remember seeing like a boat right over me, and some old Caucasian guy who was out there fishing on his boat, he made it over to me really fast and saved my life. I'll never forget it. I had to have been around 6 or 7. I remember getting a good whooping for disobeying my parents.

Back to Pride’s golden days, Wanderlei Silva was the main star of the division, and Maurício Shogun, a young guy who was unknown for MMA fans outside Brazil, was still a diamond waiting to be cut. Pride’s GP conquest in 2005 was the greatest prove that this talented fighter could fly higher ]With the conquest of UFC belt, Shogun reached the top of his division, and left Wanderlei, his idol, very impressed. “Before he was Ninja’s brother and now Ninja is his brother. And if someday he tried to copy and be like Wanderlei, now I want to be Shogun on the light heavyweight division. That inspired me, I want to start my fights trying to get the knockout”, affirmed Wanderlei, on an article published on this month’s edition of TATAME Magazine. On the exclusive chat, Wanderlei commented about the growth of his gym on the United States, talked about his new phase as a coach and a lot more

UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua is on track for an early 2011 return -- possibly at the promotion’s annual Superbowl weekend event in February -- after undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery in his left knee on June 10 in Los Angeles. UFC President Dana White told the media earlier this month that the newly crowned titleholder wouldn’t be expected back at least until March. Eduardo Alonso, Rua’s manager, said all signs point to the 28-year-old fighter accomplishing that and possibly doing White one better. “Off the top of my head, I think of the Superbowl card in February, but this is something that could change depending on his recovery schedule and the UFC’s business schedule,” said Alonso. “But the way things are going right now, I can tell you that he’ll be ready sooner than expected.” The 2005 Pride Fighting Championships middleweight tournament champion’s injury and subsequent surgery were kept secret for weeks, said Alonso, to ease the fighter mentally into his recovery process. Alonso said Rua injured his left knee during his first-round knockout victory over Lyoto Machida at UFC 113 last May in Montreal. “It was precisely on the second takedown where he tried to take down Machida and Machida stuffed it and ended up on top,” said Alonso. Rua had previously undergone surgery on his torn left ACL in September 2007, following a disastrous promotional debut against former 205-pound champion Forrest Griffin at UFC 76 in Anaheim, Calif. Rua also had a follow-up operation on the same knee in 2008. “The first time he injured his knee was in training, and maybe from years of training, before the Forrest Griffin fight,” said Alonso. “He opted to fight with the injury and ended up having surgery right after. We don’t comment on it very often because we don’t like to take anything away from Forrest.” Alonso said that the UFC helped facilitate the most recent surgery. “We had options to do the surgery in many different places, but opted with the UFC’s advice to do it in Los Angeles with Dr. Kitvme,” said Alonso. “Honestly, I think it’s the best decision we’ve ever made.” Following surgery, Rua traveled to Las Vegas and has spent the last four-and-a-half weeks in physical therapy with Alonso, Rua’s wife and his newborn daughter at his side. Alonso said this recovery period has been the quickest of the three for an anxious Rua, who wanted to stop taking his pain medication a day after the surgery. Alonso praised the UFC for allotting its champion the time to heal without the pressure of committing to his next bout. “Shogun is very happy, as he’s doing through a great moment in his life with (winning) the belt and the birth of his daughter,” said Alonso. “Mindset is very important for the recovery process, so we made sure he was comfortable. But he’s very anxious because he’s such an active guy. He has great genetics, so his recovery is going great. The challenge for us as a team has been to hold him back and make sure he takes his time.” Alonso, Rua, and his family leave the United States for Brazil on Saturday, where the fighter will complete the rest of the physical therapy in one of the world’s biggest soccer clubs in Sao Paulo. Alonso said Rua will begin to integrate some training back into his rehabilitation and will resume his full-time regimen once his physicians give him the go-ahead. White had said that Rua’s first title defense against Rashad Evans, who earned a unanimous decision over Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 114 last May, wouldn’t be scheduled until the former Chute Boxe fighter’s prognosis was clearer. However, a projected March return has ignited recent talk of Evans fighting another candidate for an interim title. Alonso said the chatter hasn’t fazed Rua. “Honestly, we don’t mind talk of interim titles, because this is the UFC’s decision and not ours,” he said. “Shogun has the belt and it means a lot to him and he’s the legit UFC champion right now. If the UFC decides to set up an interim title for other fighters, it’s not really for us to evaluate this. Each manager is really trying to push his fighter’s best interests.” With Rua’s fast-improving progress, a 205-pound interim title might not sound like a necessity after all. “Whatever happens, Shogun will have to defend his belt when he’s back sooner or later and if it’s against an interim champion or just a contender, it doesn’t change much,” he said. “The way we see it, unless a champion retires, the interim champion is just another contender.”

LAS VEGAS -- Brock Lesnar had less than a week to savor his successful title defense against Shane Carwin. The former World Wrestling Entertainment superstar will put his heavyweight crown on the line against the unbeaten Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 on Oct. 23 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. Rodrigo “Comprido” Medeiros respects the considerable skills Velasquez brings to the table. A junior college national champion and two-time collegiate All-American wrestler at Arizona State University, Velasquez has not fought since he steamrolled Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 110 in February. “Cain Velasquez is a great fighter; he has a great level of muay Thai and wrestling,” Medeiros said. “I’m confident in Brock, and I think he’s the best heavyweight in the world. We’ll outline a strategy, make a plan and train, and I’m sure we’ll win this challenge. It’s a big challenge. Velasquez is an excellent athlete.” Lesnar submitted the previously unbeaten Carwin with a second-round arm-triangle choke at UFC 116 on July 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The Minnesota-based heavyweight survived a harrowing first round in which Carwin wobbled him standing and threatened to finish him with ground-and-pound against the cage. Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com Cain Velasquez is a threat. “The important thing is teamwork,” Medeiros said. “Don’t forget that if he had not trained his boxing, perhaps he could not have withstood such punishment. If the guy’s wrestling wasn’t there, he could not have taken down his opponent and would not have had the opportunity. It’s teamwork.” Lesnar answered the challenge in round two, as he scored with a takedown, moved to mount and put away Carwin with the choke. In that moment, several months’ worth of preparation paid off. “This time, he made the training camp a little longer, with some intervals,” Medeiros said. “The camp typically lasts two months, but he made it four months. I thought this position would marry well with his game. It’s a position I’ve been practicing a lot with students in my gym in Chicago. “We always have to be careful when we’re working with a top athlete, because there are tendencies with all coaches,” he added. “I want the submission. The boxing coach wants the knockout. The muay Thai coach expects low kicks and knees.” The UFC 116 appearance was Lesnar’s first in nearly a year. The 33-year-old champion battled a life- and career-threatening intestinal disorder in late 2009 and emerged from it with renewed appreciation. Medeiros believes the experience added a new layer to Lesnar. “First, he changed his eating habits and became a lighter but much stronger fighter,” Medeiros said. “Second, he recognized that he could change his lifestyle. This gave him the motivation to continue fighting and seek new challenges. I think it all came together in his head when he was being punished by Shane Carwin. “Shane is a great opponent,” he added. “He has an impeccable record and defeated great fighters like Gabriel Gonzaga and Frank Mir. It was a great challenge and a great victory.” Medeiros thinks the public misunderstands Lesnar, who has become one of the most polarizing figures in mixed martial arts. “Brock Lesnar is a 260-pound UFC champion,” he said. “He doesn’t need anyone to defend him, and I’m not defending him because I train him. I can only speak about what I see, and I don’t relate to people with bad character. Brock is a very respectful guy. He’s a great person and very attentive. He’s attentive to the team, cares about everyone and always asks us what we need. “He doesn’t like to talk to the press and has reservations about the way the public perceives him, as would anyone,” Medeiros added. “When you’re with your family, you don’t want anyone sticking a camera in your son’s face. At the time of a fight, you don’t want to stop and talk or give autographs. People have to understand that.”
