HIGA meets "Mighty Mouse" and "The Barbarian" for St Patty's Day (Kirkland, WA)

So cool to meet the UFC flyweight champion, Demetrious Johnson, today!
"Mighty Mouse", HIGA and Howie Clark of Bio Force HRV.

Got a great squat workout today!
Also got to meet UFC middleweight, Tim "The Barbarian" Boetsch (right of me)

The champ was making fun of my squats in The Cage.  He would have done 30 reps.
Even Matt "The Wizard" Hume wasn't impressed.  Man, this is upsetting...

Thank you so much EndZone Athletics!  Will definitely come by again to workout with you guys!

Higa's pictures from the "TUF 17 finale" weekend

Got picked up at the Las Vegas airport by the UFC.

I met Jeff Hatton at the MGM casino. He is a friend of Bristol and is from Aberdeen, WA.
Jeff is going to try out for next season's "Ultimate Fighter" this week.

Bristol & I before the weigh-ins.

Got to meet Travis "Hapa" Browne.
What a cool braddah!  He won the $50,000 "KO of the night" bonus.

Backstage at the weigh-ins.
Alot of grumpy, dehydrated & hungry MMA fighters.  Lol

Proud of you Bristol!  You have a HUGE heart my braddah!

Of course, a Bulky Boy needs to eat before heading to the airport.
I POUNDED the buffet at Mandalay Bay before my taxi ride.
