Today I was home resting, cause I hurt my back and all this traveling on busses, vans, cabs, and planes has really jacked up my back.  So I couldn't take the 3 hours to the factory and 3 hours back. So I stayed back and relaxed.  I just got up to go eat in the hotel restaurant. 

Most of the hotels we stay in have a western menu, but this place is way out in north China and there were no other westerners around here.  So they had no menu in English or anyone that could speak English to help.  So I had to try to figure this one out. 

Well, we made it to Hong Kong.  Took us about 21 hours total to get here.  We had a stop in Tokyo with a few hour layover.  Had some fried rice there and a few beers, so it wasn't too bad.  

TMZ caught up with Thiago Alves at the OTM Fight Shop in Redondo Beach, California, where he discusses the procedure he recently had done on his brain. He also talks about how he's ready to return to the Octagon at UFC 115 for his long-awaited rematch with Jon Fitch.
