A few updates on what's been going on in the MMA Twittersphere.
SCHIAVELLO TWITTER CONTEST
"Guys you have to guess the SYMBOLISM of my two watches I wear on TV. They are set to different times. What are they and why?" -Michael Schiavello, tweet your answers to the voice, or do it via facebook (just search "Michael Schiavello").
"Some great prizes up for grabs including: 3 x TapouT T-shirts, hoodies or caps -- your choice, 1 x MMAJunkie T Shirt, 1 x e-book BLOOD ON THE RISING SUN, 1 x Bottle of Wine from FOX FM's Dave Higgins" -Michael Schiavello, pretty reasonable prizes, and since no one has guessed it yet, maybe BE readers could take a stab at it?
"Can anyone figure out the symbolism of why I wear two watches on broadcasts? ONE watch is set to a particular time - clue.... In addition to that, let me say that it's pretty basic yet symbolic...." -Michael Schiavello
"Just to get this point made: THE TWO WATCHES HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TIME ZONES. Keep guessing... Looking back at ALL THE MANY guesses all I will say is that ONE OF YOU is VERY close... AGONISINGLY SO!!" -Michael Schiavello
"One watch is stopped on a certain time which has a great meaning. The other watch is not stopped and also has a meaning" -Michael Schiavello
UPDATE - Contest is Over:
We have winner(s)! CONGRATULATIONS I will post winners names, prizes and the answer on my website www.thevoiceofficial.com on Monday!
