Marcos, so how did you beat Justin? I just fought him in a Freestyle Sambo bout in NJ a couple of weeks ago.
Huge Respect!
Nice job man congrats!!!
Congrats to a classy and skilled dude. Be careful about trying to gain to much weight. You obviously have a winning formula right now. I would not mess with it too much. Good luck at the big show.
Marcos really deserves it I am really proud of him !!!
Kick ass bro. Good luck at ADCC!!! You the man!
Ross
Nice work old chap!
Tally ho,
The Baron.
Hey Marcos... Dude thanks for the support when I had to cut the
weight. Your Fam now if you ever need anything I'll be there. You are
one cool cat. Congrats again.
Hey have you seen Boo?
Vera
Thanks a lot guys! Lance, in the interview I give a brief description (super brief) of each match.
Brandon, that was funny :)
This one is for Tyrone:
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Big deal.
Just kidding, congratulations.
Ok, Marcos..........
If you tell us you recited the Canadian National Anthem from memory, I'm quitting right here and now!
:-)
LOL, hell no! :)
Thanks guys for all the praise! I got a bunch of emails too, sorry I haven't replied, will do soon.
Huge congrats!
I was reading ADCC news today and they said that you had to cut weight???
This is the exact quote:
"A well deserved win, however for Avellan, who traveled for two days to arrive at the event, and had to cut weight to make the required 194 lbs."
They also wrote your wieght as being "Marcos Avellan (191.5)"
And this thread says you fought one weightcategory up?
Did they make a mistake at ADCC News?
Gigantor, thanks bro :)
FudoMyoo, no, they were correct on both accounts. I came in weighing 196.5 (three pounds over). So I cut the weight and was at 193.5. But then, while waiting for the official weigh-in, Brandon Vera rolled in and needed a drilling partner to help cut weight. So I jumped in and worked out with him, in the process losing another two pounds. So by the time the official weigh-in came in, I was 191.5. But an hour before, I was 196.5
When I hit 200, I'm throwing a party.
damn dogg!!!what you been eating?
wait a minute..... I thought David was much bigger?
jah will, I'm a glutton now! :)
Fletch, key word is WAS :) I have gained forty pounds naturally since May. Just been eating a lot, taking a gainer/protein, and lifting.
When I saw you at the USS you were a tiny little guy. How many calories have you been taking in a day. That is a lot of weight.

Fatass!!! :)
Good luck in abu dhabi, I might have to fly out to watch.
