Fight Night 106

This morning we got up at about 8am and just hung out in the room for a little bit before George went to the lobby for hot water for his oatmeal breakfast. George is is good spirits and looks like he put on at least 7-8 pounds since yesterdays weigh in.

Once we get to our dressing room we George starts stretching out waiting for his hands to be wrapped. George has the first fight and wants his hands wrapped as soon as possible so he can start warming up.

While George is getting his hands wrapped the other fighters and their camps start to come in. We share the locker room with Paulo Thiago, Marcus Davis and Kendall Grove.

George warmed up with the mitts for about fifteen minutes before he got called to walk out to the cage. The fight went as George planned, he kept the fight standing until half way through the round when he shot in on Dent and took him to the ground where George controlled him until the end of the first round with his ground and pound game.

When the first round ended I was walking to George and I noticed that he was bleeding from above his left eye. At first I thought it was blood from Dent that got on him until George told me he was cut. At that time UFC's cut man began working on George's eye. The cut looked deep but the cut man did a great job stopping the bleeding and round two began.

After a few exchanges George catches a leg kick takes DENT to the ground where George controls him until he gets Dent's arm where he uses a arm crush to arm bar and taps Dent out!!
