UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Khabilov (aka UFC Fight Night 42) takes place this Saturday, June 7, 2014 at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico and will feature former UFC Lightweight Champion Benson “Smooth” Henderson in the main event against current #11 ranked UFC Lightweight Rustam Khabilov. Henderson last fought this past January at UFC on Fox: Henderson vs. Thomson where he defeated former Strikeforce champion Josh Thomson by split decision. This will be his second fight since losing the UFC Lightweight Championship to current champ Anthony Pettis in August of last year at UFC 164. With another victory Benson should definitely be right back into the Lightweight title contender mix. Go Smooth!

New Children’s Book – “I’m Half: My Daddy is American, My Mommy is Korean”
|
I’m Half: My Daddy is American, My Mommy is Korean is a new children’s book that was digitally published earlier this month. The story is written by Paul Proctor and is partially modeled after his own family (He is the American daddy and his wife is the Korean mommy). I’m Half: My Daddy is American, My Mommy is Korean description (courtesy Official Site): More and more the world around us is becoming a cultural melting pot. “I’m Half” are stories celebrating biracial and biethnic families and the cultures of both sides of the family. Our first story celebrating biracial and biethnic families is a story of a half-white, half-Korean girl and her family called, “I’m Half: My Daddy is American, My Mommy is Korean.” This is the story of a little girl enjoying the cultural differences between the two sides of her family. Our main character loves to dance, loves to sing, and loves her family. We look forward to seeing more “I’m Half” stories in the future! |

Interview with Ben Leber (5/27/2014)
Ben Leber
The NFL stands for “National Football League” however, for many in the game, it is also known to mean “not for long.” Not only is it difficult to make it to the NFL, but to last more than a few seasons and be successful is rare and few and far between. Case in point, Ben Leber, played 10 seasons in the NFL as a linebacker for the San Diego Chargers, Minnesota Vikings and St. Louis Rams from 2002 to 2011. During his career, Ben was considered a versatile and cerebral player who carved out his niche as a leader both on and off the field. He finished his career with 496 tackles, 24 sacks, five interceptions, 12 forced fumbles in 143 games played (source: NFL.com).
Since retiring from pro football in 2012, Ben has made the transition to broadcasting and currently works as a color commentator/analyst for FOX College Sports. He also does assorted NFL analyst work for a variety of radio and media outlets including KFAN FM 100.3 in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota.
We were able to catch up with Ben last month (April 2014) to discuss his background, football and post-football endeavors and are pleased to present this interview.
