Today started off early at 6am. I headed to the airport to pickup George's parents they are super excited to be here from Australia to support him at this fight. Once I got George's parents to their hotel we sat and had breakfast then took them to their room so they could rest.
I headed back to our room where George was getting ready for his open media workout at the Detroit Athletic Center. A short time later we were headed to the open workouts. Prior to leaving the hotel they reminded us that we could not wear jeans there, this caused Eric and Micheal form Team Sotiropoulos to make a mad dash to change out of their jeans.
Once everyone was in their proper attire we headed out to the workout. When we got there I jumped out of the van on my cell phone and was told that no cell phone use or hats of any kind was allowed in the building.
Since I was the first to the door I turned to the rest of the guys who rode down with us to tell them what the door man had just told me and realized that all 15 other guys that were with me were on their phones, texting, tweeting, talking or had hats on. LOL!!
I could tell that the door guy was not to comfortable telling a bunch of UFC fighters and their corner men that they could not use their phones and had to take off their hats. As soon as we got into the building it was immediately apparent that this was a very exclusive gym/boys club.
It was also clear that most of the members didn't like that we were in their club. It seemed that all of its members were quite older and seem like very "established gentlemen". The staff took us quickly into a locker room that we were told had just been remodeled for 1.5 million dollars just for the locker room!!!
Of course the locker room was nice and they had us wait in there until it was your turn to go down stairs and workout in front of the media. We sat in the lounge area watching TV while members walked by us staring wondering who we were. They all had the same custom robes on with their names embroidered on their chest.
After about 10 minutes in the locker room a UFC fighter who will remain unnamed checked his text messages and in a second of looking at his phone was quickly reminded that he was not to be using his phone in the building. This gentleman who had a fantastic body, NOT, said phones shouldn't be used in here because because people were walking around here naked.
Another UFC fighter assured the gentleman that he was pretty sure that none of us would be taking or wanting any pictures of him or anyone else in that locker room. As you can imagine that comment was taken to well.
Anyway about 15minutes in the locker room, George was called down to do his workout for the media. George only had to give about 2 minutes of shadow boxing then field questions from the media. Then we were back in the van and headed back to the hotel.
As soon as we got back we headed to the workout room and did our real workout before going to dinner and calling it a night, George is definitely peaking and looking the best yet to date. I'm really feeling confident and very very happy how he is putting everything together. George is looking like a beast!! I never ever have or will bet on George but if I did i would bet the farm on this one!! Hint, hint............
