Kickin' it with Manny Gamburyan

Yesterday, Manny Gamburyan was picking up his new license plates that read "UFC ANVL". He was on my side of town and called me to see if I wanted to get something to eat. I said "heck yeah" and literally in 5 minutes we were on our way to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.



When we were driving down Fountain Avenue Manny got pulled over. I don't blame him for driving fast. If I was in a Mustang Salen I'd be driving fast too lol. But the cop was a dick as they always are. When he pulled us over the cop got on his speaker phone and told us to pull into the parking lot. When we pulled in the parking lot, the cop said "Roll down your window you must not be hearing me!". We looked at each other and were like WTF we did pull into the parking lot. Manny never got a speeding ticket, so this was his first one. He wasn't too worried about it and shook it off.

At Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles Manny ordered an Omelet and Waffle. I ordered greens, macaroni and cheese, and a chicken thigh. Manny ate his food so fast I didn't think he was that hungry lol.

During lunch I asked him if there was any fighter he'd like to fight again who would it be. His answer was Nate Diaz. Not that he has any beef with Nate, he just wants to fight a really good opponent. Oh and he said he wouldn't mind knocking Sean Sherk out too lol. It looks like Manny will be fighting in the Octagon again sometime in December. I really look forward to Manny fighting again especially after his last fight. Every time I talk to Manny he is always talking about his training. He seems really focused and doesn't want let himself or his fans down his next fight.

I remember Tracy and I being there for Manny after his last fight in Minneapolis. It broke my heart to see his chin down. He was like "Damn Rara, I can't believe it... 12 seconds." I told him to keep his chin up it's not the end of the world or his career. You have to struggle first to succeed that's why I have every bit of faith in Manny to win his next fight.

After Roscoe's I was on the phone with AT&T to get Manny's blackberry internet service connected. Tracy and I have been trying to add him on blackberry messenger for the longest time and the add request never seems to go through. This time I was determined to get Manny up and running on his blackberry game lol.

After spending a half an hour on the phone with AT&T, Manny's blackberry was set and we blackberry messaged Tracy right away. :)
