Tito Ortiz is set to face Forrest Griffin at UFC 148 in Las Vegas on July 7th, 2012. Tito has always been a big fan of music and had no problems telling MMASucka.com who he likes to listen to in order to get pumped up before a fight or work out.
It’s Friday morning and weigh-ins are at 7:00PM tonight. First thing I do every morning when I wake up is check my weight. Today I’m 4lbs over the 146lbs limit, which means I’ll have to do a little bit of weight cutting still. To be honest though 4lbs is nothing, I have done much bigger weight cuts in less time then I have to do this measly 4lbs. The weigh ins are at The Black Bear Martial Arts Center in Sandpoint, ID. And will being broadcast live at http://www.unifiedcombatleague.com/ and you can catch the fights here on MMASucka.com on Saturday.
This Saturday night Daniel Cormier (9-0) is ready for a fight. Not only is this the biggest challenge of his young MMA career, but it's also a chance to make a statement. A win over Josh Barnett would be a nice signature victory to boost the record and the pocket book. There is no doubt that this will be the first of many “biggest fights of Cormier’s career.”
My fight is now only one week away. Exactly 168 hours from now i'll be weighed in and re-hydrating. For most people fighting is considered human cock fighting, but when looked at in the proper light fighting is much more beautiful than that. I am asked all the time why do something that involves being punched repeatedly or why would I want to do something so barbaric.
Just landed in Fort McMurray, BC last night. I know I should be feeling nervous as time grows near, but really I cant stop thinking about flying. I have a terrible fear of flying in an aluminum tube 37,000 feet in the air.
It's funny, because when I'm driving to and from the gym I listen to country. Then when I get to the gym we listen to rock or hip hop. When we're hitting mits at night and Cain is in the room we listen to Mariachi or Mexican music.
