First day in Philly

Sorry everyone no pics from yesterday our first day in Philly. It ended up being a really long day.

Being my first UFC I was impressed with their organization but remember you have fighters and corner men coming from all over the world so it makes for a long wait to finally get to the hotel.

Both George and I left for Philly at 9am. George from Vegas and I from Portland. Once we arrived in Philly we were met by a UFC driver who was suppose to take us to our hotel but all of our guys weren't there yet.

Team Sotiropoulos consists of Todd White (jiu jitsu black belt), Saohin Srisuk (muay thai coach) and myself (Leonard Gabriel) as his boxing coach.

Once everyone arrived in one place we were taken to our hotel it was now 6:30pm. After getting to the hotel we got George's weight checked he was right where he is supposed to be.

We were then off to get all of our licensing paper work done. Now it was 7:15pm. Once our paper work was done we checked in to our room. Its now 8:30!!

Since it was a really long first day we decided to eat dinner across the street at Hard Rock.

Anderson Silva and his huge entourage was also there eating. After dinner we called it a night and went to bed.
