So, the last days were all slowing the pace of the training a little bit so Patricio would be ready for the fight without being tired.
We arrived in Yuma on Thursday morning, but before that we had lots of troubles with the air company, and almost missed the flight due to some incompetence of them and also due to something we weren't expecting: we had to pay for the bags, and they only accepted credit cards. Patricio and Patricky doesn't have one, and if I wasn't with them they would miss the plane for sure.
Also, the US policy is that you can't lock your bags, that's totally absurd. They say they have the right to open the bags if they want to, and that's what they did. And took my sandals!
In Brazil you cannot do that, and we would be able to sue them for doing it.
Anyway... on Friday were the weigh ins. Patricio had a tougher cut than expected. When he started we thought it would be easy, but the last pound and a half were harder to cut.
Also, due to a difference between the scale we used and the official one, he weighed in at 146.2 pounds without any clothes on. Had to weigh again later and tipped the scales at 145.8, this time with underwear.
The rehydratation went better than expected, as he was feeling much better only 30 minutes later.
We had the opportunity to be at one of the huge Bellator trucks, as some people of the crew were kind enough to take us to buy dinner as the Hotel's restaurant was already closed.
Oh, Patricio did an interview for MMAInterviews.tv, go there and check it!
Today is fight day, so I want you all rooting for Patricio to win and get closer to his rematch with Warren!
