Day 1 Vegas

[Panzerfaust]

Hey guy's, we made it in safe and sound and we made it to the training session an hour late (traffic, hotel shit you know) but good thing Coleman went first and Fedor was yet to train. I got 1.5hrs worth of video of his session and Q&A afterwards and Josh Barnett got in the ring and said he is officially sanctioned in the state of Nevada to which i raised my hand and asked "Are you gonna suplex Nastula" and he replied "You know it, i am gonna send him up in the air and down on his head".

Enjoy the pics...

Kazayuki Fujita (was checking in and i caught him, he seems uprised i knew him, i did say "Kazayuki" and he shook my hand and said no problem for the pic)


Mauro Ranallo (super nice and said he was glad to see us all)

Ok, quick story...i was standing there and all of a sudden CroCop comes walking through, and i am like oh shit CroCop...so i go up to him and he turns around..i say "Mirko" and he looks at me stunned like "what" and we shake hands and before i could even mention taking a pic he walks off...he walked over tol where Barnett was eating (see pics) and Barnett steps over the rail and they shake hands and hug and were talking. CroCop had ear phones in whn not talking to Barnett and just had the "Don't wish to be ****ed with vibe going".

I then go a pic with Barnett and so did my g/f and he was nice as hell and i even asked Barnett jokingly "Do you think Mirko does'nt like my Wanderlei sweater"..he looked at me and kinds snickered and said "No, No, i am sure it is no problem just go ask him". But believe me people, CroCop did not want to be ****ed with, he would not look up in my direction while i was standing 2-3 ft away while he looked at some magazine that some people wanted to film him looking at and they even seemed to have issues.

Oh, well i got to meet all those other fighters and they were more than happy to take a pic.

My official vote on CroCop is that he is a ****ing dick, i'm sorrry but it would not have killed him to take a pic when he was just standing around but oh well.

Yet to see Chute Boxe but Wanderlei was eating at this restaurant i was at and had walked out as i got to the counter, i had dinner with the mmaweekly.com crew and they mentioned that he was just over there to himself.

Very cool man. I'm jealous as hell you got to meet all those guys. What's the story with Wes Sims and UFC, if you know?

Wes said he just got off the phone with the UFC and that he should be fighting Ricardo Morais on NYE. He was very nice, i have never really been a fan of his but he is a very nice guy and of course i respect him, he also donated his fight purse to the Ryan Bennett foundation (mmaweekly.com creator).

Will post more later, i am kinda buzed right now and have made a lot of corrections to this post already.
