Monique Minton is back after her trip to the Arnold Sports Festival.
Hello Guys,
Earlier this month was awesome! I was the Arnold expo and got to see many great things. I feel like we women are growing a lot and gaining more space in our industry. One of the highlights of the show was when Arnold himself called Slyvester Stallone to give him a award. I thought it was so cool because tqo of the biggest butt kickers of all times (at least in the movies) were on the same stage. It brought reminded me of why I love the UFC so much!
On Saturday Night we had the WEC fights. The WEC is a kind of a smaller league of the UFC and they have the lighter weight fights. There were a bunch of surprises, new champions and old champions got destroyed for the second time (Miguel Torres) it was a really interesting night! Now this next two weeks will be awesome… first because I will be completing in California for the first time as an IFBB Pro and second ’cause there will be two UFC events. The first one is this Sunday, March 21, and it’s a FREE UFC show on the Versus channel. Lots of great fights on this one. Brandon Vera will be fighting this guy who is so scary. He’s so scary good that I wouldn’t even want to fight him. lol. If things go the way people say it will… Vera will get a huge cut in his face and his new nick name will be Brandon “Frankenstein”Vera!
On March 27th in New Jersey there will be a card full of famous fighters, I can’t wait to comment on them as well. Especially how Dan Hardy is gonna get embarrassed for not training appropriately. Here is a tip for you readers… it’s not a good idea to train with family member when you are fighting against GSP, unless you are a nephew of Mr. Miagi. Concluding this week on Spike tv lots of interesting UFC show that show how fighters are getting ready for their fights, it is good to remember that some of these guys are training for the fight of their lives. If they lose they not only lose money but also their contracts and a chance to fight in the biggest MMA league in the world.
As a fan of fitness and a fan of MMA all I can say is that it is important to fight. Life is like a big octagon where you find yourself. You know you could have done more to get better prepared, but there is no time to cry or complain the idea is to go there and fight with all you have, never give up and in the end know that you are successful for never doubting yourself. Get the mission accomplished… winning or losing doesn’t really matter because the objective was to go beyond your limits.
