Advice from 30,000 Miles on the Trail

When dayhiking, people we pass sometimes ask us, ?Where are you camping tonight?? They assume we?re backpacking, because our daypacks are large. What they [...]

Roller interview: Former All-American wrestler says Guillard not in his grappling class
Shane Roller is adding to his game with each fight. The former All-American wrestler at Oklahoma State really needed to work on improving his hands. He's getting there.
In his last fight against Thiago Tavares at UFC on Versus 3, Roller scored the second KO of his career. Now he's got Melvin Guillard saying he's out of his class.
The 31-year-old, now based in Texas, joined RawVegas for a conversation and laughed off Guillard's claim that he's also a better wrestler than Roller.
Guillard and Roller are part of UFC 132's Spike telecast. Guillard, riding a four-fight win streak, is a huge minus-330 favorite.
