UFC 112 Abu Dhabi

Hello, everyone, sorry for not posting the last few days, it’s been very busy here, so lets go for our review from Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Wednesday we had the last training for Maia, now the word is having fun and let it be, free of injuries everything went smooth, we grapple few rounds, did mitts some others and we done…. Now is cutting weight.

On Thursday I headed to Dubai where I had a seminar there, about 30 guys showed up from all over the world and the local press was there. Its great to see that recognition and that Jiu-Jitsu is welcomed all over. 2 hours of fun and great technique. But of course, before the seminar some tourism around Dubai. I went to the beach and all over.. visit the Palm… is surreal how big everything is here, but I see a lot of emptyness, there are some many sky highs buildings in a place that there are not too many people… i believe 80 % of the buildings are empty.. funny they are growing to the sky instead of growing land wise.

Later that night we went dinner, great people here, so welcoming, and after that, around 2 am I got a cab back to Abu Dhabi, and the cab driver was very dumb and he lost the exit… and  there was n o u turn.. took us another 30 min to get back in track… in the end he tryed to charge me for his mistake…wow, but… Im in so good mood that I didn’t care.

Today was the day, weigh ins… everybody in the lobby, we got the bus and went to the mall…. maybe first time ever people  saw other people in their underwear in public… evolution for this place…and iimpressive… the only booo was for Hughes. So Demian hit the weight, Silva too….staredown… now is time….. for the UFC Middle Weight Championship of the world. It’s rest time and wait for the time that we split the man from the kids. And for me… some training with the boxing coach…. I feel that Im gonna fight… good that Demian seem relaxed…

For tomorrow, Jiu-Jitsu all the way…. my heart and my soul is with Demian.

And for me the responsability to guide him. I took the challenge and we gonna do it.

God bless you brother!! It is in your hands now.
