This morning started off with us getting up early and heading down stairs for breakfast in the hotel. Once down there we were met by Eric and Michael. After about an hour George went for a walk and I headed back to the room. A short time later George came back up and we just rested until we had to meet down stairs in the lobby.
At 3:30pm we had to be down at the UFC room to get our credentials for the fight and meet the driver that was taking us to the event. We rode down to the event center with Phil Davis and his corner men. Once at the center we were taken to our locker room.
We were the last camp to get to the locker room. We shared the locker room with Nik Lentz, Paul Kelly, Edson Barboza, Dennis Hallman and Maiquel Falcao. Whne we first go there Lenyz had just beat Tyson Griffin and Paul Kelly was just getting ready to walk out.
After George changed and stretched out I started to wrap his hands. George was very calm and focused at this time. Once his hands were wrapped and singed off by the commissioner he put his gloves on and we started his pre fight warm up.
George did his boxing first then his wrestling and finished his warm ups with jiu jitsu. by this time Kelly, Barboza and Hallman had all fought and all won out of our locker room. So far we are 4 for 4 out of our locker room.
It was now George's time. They were calling George's name for him to get to the tunnel and entrance to the arena. As usual standing there with George just before his fight I start getting amped up seeing the lights, hearing the music with the TV cameras in front of us. This is when I pray that George does his best and wins as well as both fighters come out of this fight healthy and with no serious injury.
A few minutes later we are at the cage and hugging George before he entered the cage. George enters the cage fully focused and prepared for this fight!!
The fight goes well George weathers a high pace round by slipping and weaving most of all Lauzon's assault. The second round George goes to work and submits Lauzon!!
After the fight we get word that George will be fighting Denis Siver in Australia at UFC 127, feb 27, 2011!!!
SEE YOU THEN!!!
