John came on wednesday and Arsen,Charlie and dr Dixon came on yesterday.Assen Hadjitodorov will arrive tomorrow morning,Krasimir Kostadinov may visit us tomorrow to watch the event.athletes made the weight easily,without any extra trying. there was some fun conversations esspecially last night when we went out.John was talking about trying to toproll Arsen first 2 matches and if he loses them he is gonna try 2 hook moves and the interesting part was that he said he will try to toproll Arsen again if the match comes to 2-2 after 2 hook wins .. then Arsen said something as interesting as what John said.he said if he wins first 2 matches then he will go hook with John neither of them drank alcohol but they both sounded a bit weird to me while saying these things ;D .. i just dont know what to think i guess that is why we think that they are from different planets.

Arsen better get started on packing his bags, because he is about to be sent on a long flight home.

I suppose when someone is in a position that they fly halfway around the world to see who is the baddest armwrestler alive it makes sense. After all, what good is beating the best a nation has to offer if you don't beat them in their own power? I cannot imagine being in this position.

Do you have any pics/video of the two together yet? I really enjoyed the video of the ice cream man with Travis. It would be pretty awesome if we could get an edited 30 minute "episode" from these supermatches that included pullers getting off the plane, eating out, talking armwrestling, interview specifically about what they have done in training and what they are expecting from their opponent, and of course the actual matches. I'd pay to see it.

Hi Engin
I am looking forward to hearing how this goes!! You are doing a fantastic job, bringing these great pullers together..
I am wondering if some of us are thinking that Arsen is "out of his league??. I for one am concerned that John may have his hands full?. I am for John all the way, but think if it goes to a hook, then this Arsen is a bad dude... Do you think it is better for john to "Top Roll?
again Awesome Job!!

Thank you for the pics, Onatkut.
Arsen is taller than I thought he was. At least he looks taller based on the first picture. He must be in fantastic shape to be that big at 90kg. It used to make sense to me when I thought he was shorter.
I wonder why he came in at 90kg when he could have come in at 95kg? I expected him to make the most of John losing weight by putting on all the weight he could have himself.

I am surprised at Arsen's weight, although that is about what he weighed vs. Travis so he is still very dangerous.

hmmm.....Arsen doesnt look near as bloated as he did against Travis. he is definitely not as big in this match as then, you can tell by the shape of his face.

Krasimir Kostadinov is in very good shape i think he can give both of them a hard time.

I expected him to make the most of John losing weight by putting on all the weight he could have himself. While these photos were taken they measured their height as well with bare feet Arsen is I think 2 inches smaller than John so he is 6 feet. Arsen says that he feel more comfortable at this weight because when he gains weight he says that he becomes slower
