Frankie Trigg’s blog – wrestling update & thoughts on UFC 106

Hey guys it’s been a long time since I wrote a blog. Things have been pretty crazy lately I had my first tournament last weekend I got another one on Saturday and with making weight and school and a girlfriend I got a lot on my plate.

Lets start with last Saturday, it was the preseason classic and boy was it fun! Starts out Friday with me cutting weight to make 152 lbs. and I woke up the next morning .6 over. So I ran in sweats around the gym trying to lose weight. I ended up losing 2.6 lbs.

I make the weight drink some water (which means about 2 gallons) and went and did my work on the mat. First match I slipped the head and arm throw and came up on top. Got my two points and worked for some tilts I ended up getting a half nelson and turning him for the pin in under a minute.

Second match the kid bull rushed me with head butts and still have the black eyes to prove it. I tried to tie up with him to slow him down but the head butts kept coming, so I broke the tie and when he went for another, I went for a double leg, elevated it, and slammed him. Got the power half and pinned him with a head and arm choke. All under a minute again.

So I made the local newspaper got two pins and cut 12 pounds. I love it! This Saturday I have another tourney with four matches and I still have about six pounds to cut. School has been pretty crazy lately; today the fire alarm went off from a experiment gone bad in science class.

UFC 106 is coming up and I want Forrest to win so badly but I got my bet down on Tito for this one. He seems to have his “swagger” back and that classic Tito self is coming out again. He was actually able to train for this fight and Forrest hasn’t looked too good as of late. I really hope I’m wrong on this but come Saturday we will see.
