Sundays are made for rotisserie chicken!

It's been a good weekend. I completed my first paper for the class I am currently taking---EM570, Biosecurity. This paper was an overview of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, which is sort of a cousin of Ebola. I am actually pretty pleased with the paper.

Yesterday I went to BJJ and had a good time. We went over some escapes from the turtle position and then rolled. Rolled with Jose' and we again went the whole time limit. He got ahold of an arm and was extremely close to getting the armbar. I held on and rolled him over. I was afraid when I did that that he was going to get the inverted armbar, which is actually even worse than a normal one, but, thankfully, I was able to pull my arm out. Then he went for a nasty collar choke, and, again, I thought he had it, but hung in there and turned into the choke and managed to slip free. Really managed to Houdini my way out of a couple of bad situations, so I am pretty pleased.

Last night's UFC card was one that didn't necessarily grab my interest,so I didn't bother watching it, but from the sound of it there were a couple of decent fights. My boy Chris Lytle pulled off submission of the night against Brian Foster with a kneebar. You don't see kneebars that often in MMA (last one I can think of was Frank Mir's against Brock Lesnar the first time they fought), so it was exciting to hear about. Wanderlei Silva pulled off a unanimous decision against Michael Bisping. Wand apparently was emotional after the fight, telling Joe Rogan "This is for everybody in life who has had bad moments. Everybody in life has bad moments, but you have to believe in God." Very good words. Then, Cain Velasquez just destroyed Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira, knocking him out in the first round. Velasquez has now been injected into the heavyweight title mix. Frank Mir and Shane Carwin are fighting for the interim title in March. The winner of that is slated to get Brock Lesnar at UFC 116 to re-unify the title. However, if the winner is injured or unable to compete, Cain Velasquez will get Lesnar. The idea would be that Velasquez will get the winner of Lesnar vs. Mir/Carwin regardless. The heavyweight division is very loaded with talent right now.

As for the title of this blog post, we are in the process of cooking rotisserie chicken for dinner. One of my favorites!
