Just a quick update. We just got back from Brandons final weight cut. He is at 204 right now! He hasn’t cut weight in almost 9 years, but he got it done today.
Weigh ins are in about an hour and ten minutes. The hardest part is over now. Training has gone well! We still have alot of the benefits from the training for Werdum.
We want to thank everyone for the continued support as always.
We also want to apologize for not keeping everyone updated as normal. We don’t even have a camera here so I can’t post photos. But I may try to get one from somewhere.
Right now all Brandon can think about is ‘EATING” LOL
If you want up to the second info about what’s going on here. You can follow me at www.twitter.com/lloydirvin
I’m posting updates from my cell phone and will do so even tomorrow as we are preparing for the fight. You will know exactly when they give us the word for Brandon to come out. It will be fun.
Anyway, we hope that you get to watch the fights on Spike TV tomorrow night at 9pm EST.
Well we are about to head downstairs to take the bus to the O2 Arena for the fights in about 30 minutes.
Brandon is sleeping right now, he is very relaxed and focused on his game plan.
We had a 2 hours relaxed mock mental training last night on his game plan. He’s responding to all of the situations with the right response! We’ve drilled this over and over.
All Brandon has to do is go out and execute now. We want to thank everyone for the support. Brandon greatly appreciated it. We apologize for not getting more video up for you. But the plan is to repay all of our loyal fans with a stunning performance tonight.
Brandon has trained hard, his diet was much different for this fight, he is focused and I truly believe you will be very pleased with his performance tonight.
My Jiu Jitsu team is in California for the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Championships and they’ve already gotten 2 Gold medals and 1 Silver in the purple belt division so far.
Now it’s Brandons turn to represent on the MMA side on here.
Once again, thanks for all of the support.
Here is a photo of Brandon resting now.

Just wanted to give everyone an update. We can’t figure out how to get the video working here in London. We have lots of good video for you but it doesn’t seem to want to let us post it.
So a quick update.
We arrived in London, trained the very first day and then SLEPT!!!!!!!!!! and SLEPT!!!!!!!!!! and SLEPT some more.
The first day as we we’re working out, Werdum and the Chute Boxe crew came into the room and there was a silence for a moment. Then Brandon said “What’s up Fabricio? and Werdum smiled and said “Hello”.
The second day Brandons workout went better than the first day. His body was getting used to the time change.
All of the camps are walking around with their focused faces on.
It’s a good time! The behind the scenes activity is really fun.
Today after the weigh ins our team went into the O2 arena to grab a bite to eat. Bad Decision! Brandon got MOBBED by fans in the mall. Everyone was starving but Brandon ‘loves’ his fans and stopped to take photo’s with everyone.
Right now everyone is in the hotel room relaxing.
Here is a photo pre-weigh ins of Brandon with the entire ‘chute boxe’ team in the seats above Brandon.

This video is of Brandon training this morning. Right now he’s sleeping getting ready for his night training schedule. Check out the video, being 4 weeks away from the fight I think you’ll agree that Brandon is looking really good. He’s working hard, he’s eating right, he’s focused and most importantly, he’s ’super motivated’ to step back into the Octagon.
I haven’t seen him this excited about training in a LONG TIME! Click the play button below to watch the video.
