New BC MMA Bill anyone? Listen at 1:30

I’ll be heading into CFAX 1070 with my coach Adam Zugec to discuss the new BC Bill creating a provincial athletic commission for MMA. This is an extremely exciting and promising bill for professional MMA athletes as it is going to allow for more sanctioned MMA fights as well as 1 set of rules. It is also going to bring in revenue for the province since larger organizations, such as the UFC, will be able to bring their events to BC without worrying about the hassle of the smaller commission previously established in certain cities.

Weigh Ins, Eating and Shenanigans

Today was pretty busy as I had to make weight, go to weigh ins, arrange to hand off some tickets, EAT!!! and have some fun watching the fights and just relaxing. I took some pics throughout the day so here they are. (to be fair Adam Zugec took the majority of the pictures, but that’s ok)

As we were hanging out waiting to weigh in, Judo Gene Lebelle was also there so I snuck a picture with him. He’s a really funny guy and has stories to tell for days, so we heard some good ones from the legend.

At the weigh ins Adam managed to snap a couple of pictures from the stage where both Alexis and I weighed in at 135.5lbs.

After leaving the weigh ins and getting some liquid (pedialyte, water, protein shake, gatorade, vitamin water) – ok a lot of liquid – and some fruit, Julie Kedzie, Adam Zugec and I went to get some real food. My meal was awesome as I got some really clean food thanks to the Arnolds being in town and the competitors needing some clean eating. I also got to see Julie let loose just a little (not too much).

mmmm tasty post weigh in meal!

I’m feeling satiated and satisfied and ready to have a good night’s sleep. I don’t know if I’ll be posting again before my fight, so if not, please make sure to watch on Superchannel/ Showtime Extreme starting at 8pm EST. Have a great night!
