Days 8 and 9

Hello!

There's nothing much to be said about these last two days other than Patricio's been training hard.

He's very focused and has great people behind him like Rodrigo "Minotauro" and Rogerio "Minotouro".

Also we got the help of lots of coaches from the new Nogueira Gym in San Diego, and both brothers are sure taking their games to the next level.

Yesterday was all about practicing and resting, and today was more of the same, but with some more specific things being done preparing for the fight.

We also caught a break from the American food - I really don't know how come people here can eat these things and still be thin and healthy, although there are some people who need to change their habits.

Today we went to a Brazilian restaurant, the food was pretty good and we could watch the first half of Brazil's and world's best soccer team - Botafogo. It ended 1-0 to Botafogo on the first half, and 3-0 in the total score (as I said, best soccer team in the world).

From there we came back to Nogueiras's house. The Brothers are sleeping ever since we got here, they will only wake up when it's time for tonight's practice.

It's pretty cool to watch them train, I really would like to be training with them myself, but still didn't have the opportunity here. Things may change, though. Rodrigo said he's going to shave my beard and put me to train Jiu Jitsu with the kids.

Anyway, while that doesn't happen I'm here watching and translating all the communications between them and their coaches.
