Shocking news From Vegas !!!

[Amedeo Goga]

I was there until about 2 hours ago...

In a few classes, they were down to the final four....

Most impressive so far was Kenny Hughes, as he slammed Allen Fisher and Andreas Rundstrum in the hook...The only two undefeated competitors in this weight class at the time that I left were, Gasheveski and Kenny Hughes...

Craig Tullier was taken to the losers bracket on foul...Tullier got eliminated by Allen Fisher in a good match in the straps...It was at least 15 seconds long...

Eric Guevin lost to Travis Bagent...This match was restarted a few times due to false starts...In the end Travis won on a quick hit, straight to the pad...

Travis lost to John Brzenk on fouls...The whole crowd was diappointed, as we were all waiting to see a great match, between these two great rivals...

To his credit, John Brzenk is pulling two weight classes, 198 and 242

Barboza beat Paul Walther...Paul Walther beat Dan Victor...

Barboza lost to some guy from Usbekistan, in the straps...Ron Bath was very happy, that Barboza had a tough math with the man from Usbekistan...But Ron Bath did not expect Barboza to lose...

I did not stay long enough to see how the great Ron Bath did against the man from Usbekistan...

In one of the most anticipated matches of the day, Cobra Rhodes vs. Engin Terzi, the match did not turn out to be in the favor of the favorite of the crowd...

As soon as the match started, Cobra took control of Engin's hand...But Engin showed his true warriors heart and managed to slip...

They were strapped up...While setting up, Cobra did not like how he felt in the straps...He complained to the referees, but to no avail...The match was started, and Engin quickly hooked Cobra Rhodes for the quick pin...

Congratulations to Engin for being able to make a come back with his wrist bent back...Very impressive...

Cobra won at least 2 more matches, and than had a battel with Ray Hendricks...It was great...In this match, Cobra did not have full hand control at any time...In the end, he lost in the straps....

When I left there were Engin Terzi, Roman Tsindali ( sorry about spelling ) both undefeated...Don't know about who else was there in the final 4

On a side not in the UFC Chuck Liddell knocked out Randy Coutre in the first round..very dissapointing in such a quick match. 1st time Randy has been knocked out

[Jeremy Wilks]

Looks like I have trained Ray well. I dont find it shocking myself, but i do find it amusing to see people shocked by it. . I am shocked by Craig taking 5th though.

[Willie Reagan]

I am shocked by Craig taking 5th though.

Whats even more shocking is that I took 5th place (I got a peak at the bracket sheets on Sunday) Craig took something like 7th or 8th...

[Jeremy Plaster]

Not shocked at all Harold. Not shocked at all Talk to you soon and congrats on a great great job.

[Nicole Cisco]

It was amazing - every time there were matches called -- both competitors were phenominal.. You really didn't want to leave cause you didn't know what you were going to miss...

Harold -- you did great!! We are so proud of you...

Mr Hutchings -- I am so proud of Todd -- he is an extreamly dedicated armwrestler and his efforts paid off this past weekend. We are proud of him!!!

If I could have made only one suggestion though -- I would suggest the event be cut up into two days.. It was such a long day - the competitors, and officials alike were exhausted. Especially due to the size that this thing will probobly be next year.. WOW!! just a thought.

[C. Hennerichs]

I agree it should be cut up into 2 days. I heard it went on till midnight! Everyone must have been exhausted!

great job everyone!

[leonard]

We were done at 6 pm with the eliminations. That was the target time that Fox wanted and Denise did a great job with managing the flow of the contest.
The TV stuff started at 7pm and was done by 10:30. Then the awards and money ect. We were very happy with the timing of everything. ;D

[C. Hennerichs]

I thought being that it was so many ppl that it was run very smoothly. I was told it lasted till midnight. Didn't know why though.

[Jeremy Wilks]

my bad for the misquote on craig, that was just what i had heard at the time.

[Christ Russakis]

wasn't there a masters class in vegas!! just wondering how that went and results?? thanks ,christ
