Only days before his welterweight finals TUF (The Ultimate Fighter) Season 2 in Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, I had an opportunity to observe Luke Cummo training both in Jiu-jitsu as well as kickboxing. While concentrating on escapes from varying positions and chokes on the ground with Matt Serra, Cummo's real strength is in his Muay Thai clinches, elbows and knees. As conditioning and stand up coach Ray Longo emphasized footwork, jabbing and knees, it is obvious that Cummo has become not only more technical and aggressive, but he also seems to have an inexhaustible supply of stamina.

"You’re a matador! Don't let me get too close, don’t let me touch you, use that jab, elbow..."

After a noon to three o'clock workout earlier in the day at Serra Jiu-jitsu in Huntington, he begins his evening session at eight o’clock at the Ray Longo Martial Arts Academy in Minneola, N.Y. Having napped for a couple hours and eaten brown rice and poached halibut, he gets in the groove by jumping rope with a timer, which sounds every couple off minutes telling him to increase the rope speed and intensity at various points, double jumping, jumping higher, anything to jump start that heart and break up the rhythm.

After hitting the speed bag for a while, an intense choreography in the ring begins with kickboxing coach Ray Longo holding the mitts.

Hier staat de rest. (http://www.boutreviewusa.com/Interviews/15lukecummo.html)

ja viel mij ook al op ! Vet man!

Well, Sudo is very entertaining to watch, he is also very good technically, but the person I would like to model after would be Mauricio "Shogun" Rua because he is so aggressive and he is very good on stand-up. And I also like Remy Bonjasky, his flying knee and all. I like Ernesto Hoost because he is so consistent. I've watched tapes of Ramon Dekker, he is very aggressive.
