So i was to an Fedor's public workout in NY. The workout itself was pretty lame, probably mostly because they did not consider there would be so many people(there probably was close to a thousand, the line occupied an entire Manhattan block and then some.
After the public workout Fedor started signing autographs but just a 3rd people in(if that) he just up and left. Was pretty dissapointing but what ensued next was entertaining. The only guy left back was Scott Coker so we decided to take a picture with him. This is where one of my buddies voiced his dissapoitment at Fedor leaving so early. At which point Scott pulled out something i would say i did not expect. He called up a woman from Fedor's posse and told her that we came all the way from Miami(were from New York) and missed him and asked her to tell us his next destination, which turned out to be Renzo Gracie academy. The poor woman went "I thought that was supposed to be a secret."
Gracie academy was just 3 blocks and we quickly got there just in time to see Fedor in his limo, ready to leave again. There was barely any people there but Coker, Millen, Fedor and his translator. Coker just told us to jump in the limo with Fedor, upon which i joked that its not savvy to just jump into the limo of the most dangerous man on the planet uninvited. The translator asked Fedor to take a picture with us, which he did without any delay. Fortunately or unfortunately though, they asked their photographer to take the picture and took my business card promising to send it to me. I hope they hold true to their promise, and even tho i had my camera i was too star struck to object. I really never gave a crap about celebrities, and i had no idea Fedor would have this kind of effect on me, but it was completely surreal for me. I think i'm not gonna take a shower for a month or so as to not wash away the Fedor molecules off of me.^_^
And if that wasnt good enough i went into Renzo Gracie academy and whaddya know, fucking Renzo Gracie was there. Renzo is just about only member of Gracie family who i am a fan of, so it was super win.
Footnotes: How awesome is Coker to trick Fedor's assistant into giving us his next destination? Nothing but respect for this guy he is AWESUM.
Fedor really doesn't give a fuck. He didn't care to leave when there were still a whole bunch of fans waiting for him to sign, and neither did he seem to care to take pictures with us. It just seemed, do or do not it's all the same to him.
Renzo is super fucking friendly. Which is good since i think i really like his school and its really close to my house. I'll probably sign up to go there.
Overall i feel super excited. I got pics with Renzo and Coker which i'm waiting for my friend to upload and hopefully Strikeforce will send me the Fedor picture.
Man this is awesome.
So awesome.
