We stayed in the same locker room as Luiz Azeredo, Rick Hawn and others.
(Dean, great cutman, really takes care of the Pitbull Brothers)
Unfortunelly Azeredo broke his arm while blocking a kick, but he went to the hospital as soon as the fight ended so we believe he will be ok.
Patricky was very relaxed during the hole time, and by fight time it was just a question to put in practice everything Patricio had told him in the locker room and in the days leading to the fight.
As you already know by know, Patricky knocked Imada out starting with a flying kn... thigh. Yes, it was the thigh that landed, not the knee.
Patricky got worried about Imada later, but the Bellator crew told us he was ok, so he relaxed a little bit, but it was bad to see him go out in the stretcher.
After the fight we went back to the locker room, picked up our stuff and went to see if we could get some seats near the cage to watch Eddie's fight.
We got this place:
The fight was good, we could learn some things from both guys, but didn't focus too much about a potential fight with Eddie because Patricky still has a huge fight ahead of him against the winner of Michael Chandler vs Lloyd Woodard.
Whoever wins will be a very tough fight, so Patricky will start his training this week getting ready for both, and after the winner is known he will start doing something more specific.
--------------
After the event we went to the press conference and after Patricky did three interviews, so far we only found one online:

From there we went to have dinner and then to the hotel.
We spent the entire night looking for comments on the fight and the articles we could find on it, also we watched his fight 500 times.
When we were about to go to sleep some idiot messed up with the fire alarm and we ran from our room to the emergency exit. The fire-fighters were called, but some time later they told us it was just some idiot that did that.
Even though they said that, we smelled smoke - a lot, and we think they weren't telling us the exactly truth.
We saw Eddie Alvarez partying at the hotel's lobby. He was drinking and making fun/dancing by the sound of the alarm.
The Bellator crew was all pissed with the alarm situation, as they were trying to get some sleep and had to wake up early to take care of interviews and taking people to their flights.
Anyway, when we got back to the room Patricky slept a little and Patricio and I stayed awake watching some fights because in an hour and a half Patricky would have to do an interview for Bellator.
After the interview was done we had breakfast and went to sleep until the time of to leave the hotel.
We arrived in San Diego last night, went to Rodrigo and Rogerio Nogueira's house, played pool and went to sleep.
Rodrigo and Rogerio are really great guys, also very funny. It's an honor to finally meet them and be staying at their house.
Today we woke up, had breakfast and came to the new Nogueira Gym. Patricio and Rodrigo are training, Patricky is just looking, he will probably start training tomorrow only.
We don't have internet at the house, so I will only blog and they'll only tweet when we come here.
