More announcements this week including 2 more UFC stars to join the expo meet and greet.
This will be the first time the UFC guys have ever been in Melbourne, sure to be a massive draw card.

I took some shots of our giant billboards last night.
They are at in the City and on the airport Freeway.

At 12 metres wide they are a sight to see. I couldn't get the smile off my face.

You're advertising with Kai and Phil on your posters when neither of them does compete?

Kai is the current champ, having won in 2009 and 2010. So we often use the previous winner on the poster, eg Dexter, Lee, Ronny Rockel etc

The other is a billboard to advertise FitX, my sport and fitness expo. There is a representative from each part of the expo for the general public, so I used Phil's image to represent bodybuilding. There is a strongman, who will be there then a yoga chick, a kickboxer and a triathlete that are just representative of thier area. To the the average Joe motorist, he just sees muscle, yoga, runner etc.

I would not falsley represent anything. I hope this explains.

Mike Kefalianos for sure, he has been knocking on the door of some big shows and could be top 3 anywhere.
Ivan Sadek is capable of a top 3 finish but not competing this year.
Con Demetriou can be very good if he comes in sliced. Not sure if he is coming this year but he is a very good bodybuilder

It looks like we have Victor Martinez signed up. We are just waiting for his visa to be confirmed. Victor has always wanted to visit Australia and is one of the best bodybuilders of the last decade. I will confirm here when it is definite.

Tony, i just viewed th recent photos of you with Flex...wow...you have put on a lot of weight: big round face, bald, bad skin, skinny arms and large abdomen.

Tony, you are a pivotel figure within the health and fitness community. That being said, why in god's name could you let yourself go like that?

Tony, you have gyms and are surrounded by driven health and fitness professionalions. Surely it can't be hard to garner some motivation from your surroundings?
Tony, time for you to chime in with 'I am really too busy for all that!' ..lol

No Branch this year and still waiting for Evan to confirm. I signed up a few at the Flex show and more to confirm this week.
Pak man is definitely coming down.

Still working on the final list. Are you going to make it down from Sydney this year?

Tony Doherty · « **Reply #24 on:** February 21, 2011, 07:12:11 PM »

Thank you for all making me feel so welcome.
