Hironaka The Chicken

[mdunahoo]

I was offered a fight with Hironaka about four weeks out form the event I accepted thinking the fight was at 170 lbs at that point I began weight gainer and about 9 days out I found out it was actually at 155 lbs at that time I was 185 preparing to cut to 170, so I decided to give it a shot, it was a hard cut of canned tuna and liquid vitamins for a week, I was down to 169 lbs three days out. I didn’t think I could make it so I emailed them to tell them my weight, they assured me it was ok to come anyway it would be worked out. So I flew out on the 23rd only had a half a protein bar and a cup of o.j. with ice upon my arrival instead of going to weigh inns I was taken to the hotel sauna and was given a sauna suit and told to try to cut the weight. I was shocked but I had already come that far so jetlagged and no food or h20 I sat in the sauna for 4 hrs til 8pm rubbed myself with aboline then slept til 6am, back in the sauna at 7am til 12 noon the day of the fight until I was told to leave by staff at that point more aboline then napped til 2pm when I was rushed off for weigh inns at the arena still no food or water. When I arrived I scaled at 158 lbs this was 3:30pm after they told me still no food or h20 until its “official” so I did medicals, group fight rules, got my gloves and went back to my private dressing room with a locked thermostat at 69 degrees very cold. So there I waited until about 4:30pm when I was asked to weigh in again. I walked out and stepped on again at 158lbs while Hironaka stood and watched with his team eating noodles and fruit cups. He looked to be about 180 lbs and I never saw him weigh in, I just had to go by what they told me. So at that point I started to drink my pedialyte and began throwing up, the medical staff gave me an I.V. and determined I was dangerously dehydrated. My Japanese friend that was helping me out left to renegotiate my contract at which I was only making 500.00 anyway to whatever I didn’t care I just wanted to fight. As I sat in my dressing room awaiting a decision, Hironakas manager popped his head in a couple times and at 5:30 half hour before the event Hironaka decided it would be to risky for him to take the fight with me being over the limit. So a 158 lbs dehydrated malnourished, jetlagged fighter with no corner man all alone was too risky? While he was about 180lbs healthy heavy and at home with about a 6 man team, wow……. P.s. I only received a contract regarding 155lbs weight class on the 22nd the day before I flew out lol… So as I was packing up in my dressing room, I noticed on the tv he was out in the cage warming up shadow boxing getting ready to pretend he was surprised their was no fight, what a joke

I noticed this was your first post. Does Hironaka visit this forum? Do you expect him to see this thread?

Hironaka

I doubt if he'll read it himself, I'm just hoping it will get back to him, he's been blogging in Japan a bunch of B.S. and it got to me so.... his camp wont take my calls so, I'm kinda outa ideas

If you had a contract to fight at 155, why did you think it was at 170?

So you are basically being a whiny little bitch for no reason and to no effect?

Hironaka

I never received a contract until the 22nd of April the fight was on the 25th, it was all verbal until that point.
As far as being a whiny bitch,you're entitled to your opinion, but I feel any man who steps into a cage and has it locked behind him to fight another to earn a living is not a bitch, but thanx for taking the time to read what I had to say, God Bless

Thanks for allowing me my opinion, but I feel that any man who posts whiny complaints about someone who is unlikely to ever read them in the place where he posted them is just being a bitch, maybe just to get it out of his system.
