I Weigh More Than...

As I mentioned in the last post, we had an unexpected fight night over at Ray's Mom's. If you haven't seen the fight, turn back now! You've officially had your Spoil Alert! :)

So as you know, my family love us some UFC. We have even got Ray's family into it. So anyway, we went over there and watched UFC 121 Saturday night. There was something I realized when I got there, that made it a little hard to enjoy them, but I won't go into that now.
But I DID enjoy them. They were great. What made it fun also, is that it was SOO hyped up that if Cain Velasquez won, he would be the first Mexican Heavy Weight Champion. Now, for me I don't care what race the fighters are. I pick my fighters based on ability, work ethic and attitude. Ray is usually like that too. BUT not this time lol. Oh no, it's all about brown pride on this night! LOL, they all really wanted Cain to win, and make Mexico proud :) So naturally I picked Brock, because he's a BEAST and it's also fun to be routing for the other guy sometimes lol. I like both fighters, but thought Brock would win for sure.
Anyway, it was a GREAT card, with lots of good fights. The main event came, and Cain ended up winning. OMG you should have seen them on there feet and cheering, even Ray's mom. It was pretty funny. So Cain won. He's a big guy, weighing in at 244...
BUT if you are an MMA fan, you probably know who Brock Lesnar is. If not, here:
Do you see him? He is HUGE. He is a fricken TANK. Which brings me to my title... Brock Lesnar weighed in at 264 pounds. Now he doesn't weigh that at the fight, or walk around at that weight, probably more like 285. BUT, the point is... I weighed over 279 pounds on Friday. He weighed in at 264... That is fricken crazy. I weigh MORE than a UFC heavy weight champion. The biggest fighter they have seen in a long time...
Do you understand the gravity of the situation?
I WEIGH MORE THAN THIS GUY!

In fact, I weigh more than ANY heavy weight in the UFC. The weight class is 206-265... I don't even qualify!!! I AM TO HEAVY TO BE A HEAVY WEIGHT... AND I've lost 40 pounds! That is fucking nuts!!! How did I let it get this bad??? (I don't look back and think about that often, but man- stuff like this really puts it into perspective...)

Of course I don't let this ruin fights for me, but when the weights comes up, it's something I ALWAYS notice. Next time he fights I want to weigh LESS than him. I do not want to weigh more than Brock Lesnar ANYMORE! I want to be in the Heavy Weight Division... as CRAZY as that sounds!!!

*I did not take these pics, totally stole them off the internet ;)

  1. I have never watch UFC - I can barely watch boxing because it is so violent it disturbs me. Don't misunderstand - I appreciate the athleticism in both sports, it is just ME that has to turn my head to avoid it.

    Glad you had a good time and so happy Cain won! Woot for Ray and his family - how awesome.

    You crack me up with your take on this "I want to be in the HW division!" I get your point an it is a good goal to have. You can do it. We know you can - you ARE doing it.

    One day you are going to be in a division even lower than that, dontcha' know? [But you won't get to fight that hottie Cain. Sigh. ;)]

    But like you said, you've already lost 40lbs. You can close that gap in no time :)

  4. Thanks Skippy lol. Yeah, Cain is a hottie, I should have included his pic too! I dont think Ray would be happy with me getting in the ring with either of them though haha :)
    I understand that some people don't like this stuff, totally understandable. I love it. Maybe growing up with 3 brothers and no sisters? I don't know :)
    I don't really like boxing at all... go figure lol.

    Thanks Mark! Yeah, it sure is... When I see that guy I just can't BELEIVE I weigh more than him! But the scales don't lie huh? Someday soon they will tell me what I want to hear!!! :)

    Haha Michaela, don't be sorry!!! :) Glad I made you smile!
    I'll never be a featherweight, but I'm cool with that! I'll get down a few weight classes though! :)
    xoxo :)

  5. Oops, sorry I thought that was Cain. Oh well - I would get in the ring with the one you have posted and [since I looked up his pic] Cain is very easy on the eyes too I must say. So yeah - I would step in. And then hit the mat. heehee

    [where are you btw - you are worrying me here! I hope you are okay]

    But I'll be back later today, or FOR SURE tomorrow for my weekly weigh in.
