Second Pro Fight Promo Video is finished

We just finished shooting and editing my promo video for my second professional MMA fight which will happen March 11, 2011. The video includes training footage from Urijah Faber’s Ultimate Fitness Gym in downtown Sacramento. The ice tub was freakin’ freezing. I barely survived the thing… The video was filmed and produced by the one and only Paul Lyubezhanin from Aperina Studios. Those guys always do an amazing job. Let me know what you think and maybe some suggestions/ideas for the next video…

    • Daniel:

      You are incredible man, your biography is inspiring. I love your work ethic and the drive to be the best. Taking on Best Ranger is a feat in and of its self. I will you see fighting on Paper View someday. It is only a matter of time. Keep up the hard work.

    I just received word that my opponent backed out of the fight!!!! sucks.. No worries though, my promoter found another opponent for me. The fight is still set for the same date. The only thing is that instead of fighting at 185lbs. we are now fighting at 190lbs. No biggie…. Im feeling great, my weight is under control and Im excited. A bunch of Slavic people are coming from Portland to watch the fight. As well as my fellow Rangers….. Thanks for the support Dudes. RLTW

  4. Vargas:

    Excited  to follow your MMA career. I am sure it will be as successful as your military career. With your motivation and work ethics I don’t think there is a MAN out there that trains as hard as you brother.

    Hey Guy. Good job on the fights. I use to serve in 2nd Batt with you. I just out last year. Tell Faber I said whats up. We met on his afghan tour a few years ago. Next time im home visiting ill stop by the gym and see if you guys are in. RLTW

    • Mikhail Venikov:

      Sweet bro sounds like a plan. Let me know when your in town… RLTW

  6. Mikhail Venikov:

    Thanks dudes… So heres the BAD news… My opponenet’s trainer canceled the fight for this Friday the 11th. According to my opponenets trainer, he got injured training for the fight and can no longer take the fight. Thats a tough situation but kinda hard to believe… Any fighter knows not to train hard the week of the fight, so you dont get hurt and you let your body rest…. But the week of the fight he calls the promoters and tells them that he is injured and cant fight. Totally sucks!!!!!! That def. upset a lot of my fans and especially those that were flying in from Washington and Oregan. I once again wanted to apologize on my opponenets behalf that the fight did not happen.

    Thanks for the support and until next time, RLTW / Spaceba

    Dude what work-out program do you use, p90x extreme? I’m trying to get fit like you, but its not working out to well, how much time do you spend at the gym? 1 hour? 2? who does all of your body modeling or is that you really you at the top? JK

    • Mikhail Venikov:

      “The Duke” sup browski. I spend hours at the gym… I have no life lol. Hit me up ill take you through a killer work out, summer is coming gotta get in shape. Spaceba

  8. Whan:

    whos is the guy in the red thai shorts looks like he can handle himself!! is he from your gym and does he only take on fighters!! how much for an hour!!
    looking forward to your next fight sorry about the last one!!

    • Mikhail Venikov:

      Whats going on bro. Yeah he is one of my Kickboxing and conditioning trainers. Hes a gread dude. He trains the fighters, but I think he does private lessons as well for the right amount….

  9. Vadim "The Duke":

    Bro, I’ve been going to the gym for three weeks straight an hour a day, like you said summer is right around the corner, I might need to take you up on that offer when I’m in better shape, my brother worked out with you once or twice and he said that its like going through boot camp and he’s always in good shape, so i gotta give it some time til i can at least keep up, don’t wanna embarrass myself in front of the future champ:)

    • Mikhail Venikov:

      Ha ha ha… sure thing browski… You gotta get one of my shirts, it gives you super powers and helps cut the exxtra fat lol.
