One time I was with a buddy of mine at a show....
He had busted his ass for it... after pre-judging we were really not sure how he would place in his class (lightweights)... and he was flipping out saying that he thought the judging was bullshit that they wouldn't even consider him for top 3 in his class, dude looked like he was ready to kill someone... And to be honest, I didn't even imagine he would win his class!
At the night show, he ended up winning his class... we were happy for him.... he made it to the overall, and as they were about to announce the winner, he started getting dressed because he was so sure it wouldn't be him... as he was getting dressed the winner from the previous year comes to him and says, what are you doing? and my buddy goes, "I'm the lightweight, the lightweight never wins the show" and the winner goes "I was the lightweight last year, and I was also the one who won the show! Get back in your trunks, your name is about to be called!"
And sure enough, my buddy was announced the overall winner! Dude was in tears as he was getting the trophy!
