We conducted a bunch of video interviews today before the weigh-ins and, as promised, here they are. We interviewed Kaitlyn Young, Chad George, Nick Thompson, John Troyer, and Ryan Murray.

The interviewer is a cool cat by the name of Jeff “The Wombat” Meszaros. He’s Bodog’s main MMA writer and is well-known in the online MMA community. He also knows his shit.

Nick Thompson:

John Troyer:

Chad George:

Kaitlyn Young:

Ryan Murray:

The fights run tomorrow. Unfortunately, we won’t have extended play-by-plays, but we will have pictures. I’ll try to get them up late tomorrow night.

The Fight team’s busy getting ready for the Nick Thompson VS. John Troyer event this Friday night… but before things got really crazy, I and the media team headed on down to the Hawaiian Tropic Zone restaurant for some fine dining and girl ogling.

Both the girls and the management treated us exceedingly well, giving us a special Hawaiian Tropic Zone Girl dance complete with striptease. Nice place!

Today, we interview all the fighters three-times over. The footage will get banked for future shows, but I’ll try to put some up online tonight. But before that, we’ll have the weigh-ins and press conference, so check back later for those pics and stats.

Some last minute changes here for the card:

David Graham has been replaced with Aaron Michael Simpson, and Jeremy Razonable has been replaced with Demarques Johnson. Both changes have been updated to the main card.

Also, the Fight team has just landed in Vegas and are in the process of reviewing the venue, nailing down the last fighter issues, and preparing to get stone-boozed and play some craps. We’re apparently heading off to some kind of tropical-themed bar for a bikini contest. Expect pictures later tonight.

I was snooping around the fight office a few days back and noted some clandestine scribbling that indicated Jorge Masvidal (12-2-0) may be being groomed for a shot at a future title. We whipped together a little profile to brief you on this young up-and-comer.

But who would he fight? He’s already murdered Yves Edwards. His victories over Steve Berger and Keith Wisniewski weren’t nearly as sound, but fairly impressive anyway.

Hope all you Nevadians (and others) are planning on hitting up the Las Vegas Sport Center for Troyer VS. Thompson this Friday. Should be a hoot.

There have been some changes. Unfortunately, due to changes in the Nevada Athletic commission, the tournament has been canceled, so now the two first fights will be simply that. Also, Ryan Murray is Bryan Humes’s new opponent, and, as has been reported elsewhere, Sara Schneider is the new replacement for Kaitlin Young’s opponent.
