Guess who came to dinner at GNC:

No I'm not kidding. This guy walks into the store last week:

Not only that, but Hugo, the manager of the North Miami store has an extended conversation with him about Nutrition and is asked to write up a diet. Today I met his wife and son, good people. So he's buying his supplements and getting Nutritional advice from us now.

His wife said he was originally going to be in Babalu's corner for his next bout, but decided instead to go to New York to train for his next fight which is in March in Ohio (I think), at which point he's going to come back around the South Florida parts and stop in to visit us at GNC.

And let me say this, every Gracie kid looks EXACTLY like the old pictures of Royce and Rickson and all them when they were kids. Daniel's son looks JUST like those pictures.

Yeah I saw him Friday at Renzo's. Dude loves Florida and he's really cool. Great character too. I thought Roger was big, but this dude is huge.

Yeah he is quite monsterous. When Hugo described him I thought he was exaggerating, until I saw him for myself.

One of the other employess didn't believe that we met him, nor that Hugo was working with him on his eating (I hope to be able to contribute if I get to speak with him more at-length, I only saw him in-passing), to help accentuate his fighting. And this particular co-worker is Mr. "I don't believe that." But when he saw Daniel's wife, and then heard her talking to Hugo in Portugese about the diet, he had to bow-down. A good moment. lol

Tell him LCDforMe says, "Hi". If not, I understand.

That's sweet though, bro. I need to work at a cool store sometime. Or just work...

I'm not going to tell him that, lol. The last thing I need to do is get fired from my job for having an MMA match against a Gracie in the store during business hours. You come here and you tell him that, I'll give him a heads up this way he can wait until you're in the parking lot before shooting on you.
