Canadian middleweight Jason “The Athlete” MacDonald will be in action this weekend at UFC 88: Breakthrough in Atlanta, Georgia. MacDonald will be facing UFC veteran Jason “The Punisher” Lambert in a middleweight bout which he took on short notice.

With a fight on the horizon, MacDonald has scribed his thoughts on his blog at Sportsnet.ca. This edition features a recap of MacDonald’s approach to the fight including many of the activies that took place when he landed in Atlanta, GA.

We got into Atlanta late, slept in a bit, went down and signed the UFC paperwork and got over to the workouts with the media just in time to meet with Sportsnet for a feature.

It’s really nice weather over here in this small little city. Yesterday morning when I woke up in Red Deer, there was frost on the ground. So it was a nice change to wake up to some sunshine. We took it easy today and went and checked out Olympic Park.

MacDonald went on to say that his weight is currently at 195 pounds. According to MacDonald, last time he cut weight he didn’t use the sauna but he plans on taking a different approach this time around.
