Evening fight fans, spent the day taping some of marks preparation for the upcoming July 31st bout. Mark sparred a few rounds with 130kg UFC behometh Soa 'The Hulk' Paleili. Of course when I threatened to don the gloves they both backed down so unfortunately I am still in retirement. I'll just add these are still grabs from my video footage, not camera pics. Random observations; Today was hopefully the first and (please god) the last time a 130kg bloke approaches me and asks me to "pull up my shorts". What was I gonna say, "Do it yourself ***?". And remember, I'm still retired. 21 pics in all and if you can make it through to the end theres a special 4 shot adventure of my walking tour of Perth.

And now, as a special bonus, heres my walking tour of Perth. At the end of one of the malls is this fantastic yellow thing. Why, look at it, you can ever walk through it. And whats that, it has a number on top of it. This content is protected But wait, theres more...when you walk through it, the number goes up. Thats right, it actually goes up. I believe when it opened there were queues for weeks... This content is protected Wonder if they sell cocktails This content is protected All I can say is I'm glad hes not a proctologist. Maybe kronky works here? This content is protected
two very big boys, this hands low business would give trainers a heart attack, but if it works stick to it.. leon were is the photo of yourself training? hahaha the only thing were missing..
Thanks Leon...looks like a good fight....it takes a massive guy to make Mark look small....glad to see Mark getting the wide points decision according to your happy snaps :yep
haha Leon, Im in Perth right now too. Walked under that strange yellow thing last night. Didnt quite thrill as much as I first thought Im here till tues then head to Adelaide. What time will the Vic fight be on on sundays? Wheres a good place to watch (north of the river - im in wanneroo)?
Dude, come on down to the Greenwood Hotel in Greenwood, starts at 9am (undercard), first 5 drinks you pay for and no looking at my package.
Hardly worth staring at rolled up socks now is it.... what time u think the main bout'll be? getting up at 9 on a sunday is so damn hard, especially as im still somewhat jetlagged...
