UFC 106, first day in Vegas

The day started off with sprints in the morning at home at 24hrs Fitness with George, Miroslav and I. 7:ooam on the basketball court. It was then that I realized fighters make horrible basketball players. While Miroslav was warming up, I picked up a basketball and started shooting around. After at least 15 attempts and no basket Miroslav is dying laughing so he picks up the ball and continues to miss without making a basket. At this time we're laughing so hard I can't breathe. Now George walks onto the court and is going to "show us" how its done. George can't sink a basket either. Now I'm laughing so hard I have tears rolling down my face. After at least 50 shots, I think I made 2, George made 2 and Miroslav made 3 baskets. Its then I realized the only time fighters belong on the courts is to do their sprints!

After finally getting our sprints done it was off to take a shower and to the airport. The airport and flight to Vegas was uneventful being it was a Tuesday and pretty dead. We arrive in Vegas and was met by our UFC driver "Q".



He took us to Mandalay Bay where we were taken to the media room where we took care of our paperwork. While there they took my picture for my corner man license and George signed things for UFC. UFC has all the fighters sign things for sponsors. Today George signed 12 t-shirts and 180 posters. After that was done they checked his weight and did a pre fight interview with him. We then headed to our room. Our room of course is awesome. After about an hour in the room, Todd arrives. Since we are all starving we head down for dinner. At dinner we discuss and set our training times and schedule for the week. After dinner we head up to the room and get ready for bed. Its an early morning tomorrow. George is in great shape ready for this fight. I'm so excited and can't wait for this fight. Its going to be a good one.
