tell me about it...when I went to UFC 88...the people sitting around me were some of the biggest racists and giving my wife crap and then when Rashad knocked out Chuck...you dont even want to know the things they were yelling...

Well my wife is half korean, and she brought a Korean flag to hold up when Kim Dong Hyun was fighting (who we ended up meeting, really cool), but yeah the dude was flipping the bird over the flag and then somone threw ice at us and the guys next to me kept saying "chinks dont win fights" and said something like "you gotta eat more than rice
to get strong" and my wife was getting all upset and stuff...not to mention the guys behind us were yelling "White Power" and when Rashad knocked out Chuck I was excited and the guy next to me looks at me and goes "I dont want no n*****r as a champion" I ignored him pretty much, but yeah most of the people around us were drunk needless to say...

Did you go psycho killer on them? People are so friggin stupid. Jeez, UFC needs to start doing some screening cause that is horrible. No need for any of that kinda talk. And I'm sure they would say they arent racist. If they mic'd the crowd, I dont know what Dana would say about the comments coming from these people.

And give your wife a sexy hug from me. :1-1: :lol
 
Dude...beleive me I was ready to fight myself, but unlike them I knew it was not the time nor the place...not to mention I was outnumbered probably 10 to 2. My brother who sat a row down in front of us was having issues with another drunk guy also. Yeah its crazy how some people act. When I flew to Vegas for Pride 32...wanna talk abour respect...just like in Japan you could hear crickets cherping. It was awesome, at the appropriate times the crowd blew up and went bonkers but again totally different audience. As crappy as an experience as it was at UFC 88, I wouldnt take it back. The energy at a live event is something to definetly experience, so much fun regardless of all the drunks, lol.

Sexy hugs all around!!
 
damn, that story makes me never want to go to a live event. I dont think I could compose myself as well as you did, especially if someone was talkin smack about my girl :clap

Yeah I remember watching the Pride fights on TV. The audience was very respectful. Still on the fence about going to a live event.

People like that have to go to live events because they can't get PPV in their trailers. :D

hahaha Hilarious. How much are the tickets anyway?

:exactly:
 
Beleive me guys, dont let people like that ruin your night. If youve never been to a live event its something to see. Like I said you might even get lucky and sit next to some cool people. Lots of a-holes bt at the same time said hi to a few people and met some nice people at weigh ins and taking pictures and stuff.

I know thats a horrible story, but like I said you have to go to at least 1 live event to experience it. Plus when the events over and you there just looking at the cage its really impressive and almost awe inspiring.

As for ticket prices, we got tickets for about $120 each and those are nose bleeds...the funny thing I try and tell people about MMA events to me its better to be in the nose bleeds because then you have access to watch the "jumbo" screen or the cage even though your a little far away from it. The people on the ground floor...beleie me its hard to see above everyone adn not to mention the cage is elevated then not to mention if the fighters fall on the opposite side of the cage you wont see anything. So when I say nose bleeds, I was probably on the 2nd upper level in the front, so like i said nose bleeds for MMA is better in my opinion.

Plus I was thinking if I paid $120 for these seats...what were those people paying to sit that close to the cage. The only benefit from sitting so close is all the fighters that walk around the cage if you want autographs or photos, but beleive me its one of those things where like I said the energy around a UFC especially, theres usually fighters all over the place. I ended up meeting Joe Rogan and Eddie Bravo just walking down the street as well as a few Japanese fighers. Also met Randy Couture just strolling around.

When I went to Strikeforce again totally different event lots of booing and drunks, but no one bothered us and met a ton of fighters and other fans waiting for photos and stuff. So again its
almost a luck of the draw type thing. At the Strikeforce event alot of people got up and left before the main even started so go figure.

Maybe if there is a UFC event near Florida I'll go. Tickets for UFC 116 are priced at $1000, $750, $500, $300, $200 and $100 and are on sale at Ticketmaster.

Anyone going to the UFC Fan Expo in Boston?
 
That sucks ArmoredFoe... but what can you expect from a city like Atlanta? No offense to you, or anyone else that lives there.:lol

I guess I got lucky with my events being in Vegas and Dallas(my hometown area). The crowd was being loud and obnoxious at both of course, but not ____ing racist. I paid $300 and $75 for tickets respectively. At the Vegas event the guy next to me bought me some beers in exchange for crappy pics I emailed him.

Nah man, I actually live in Tampa, I drove 7 hours to Atlanta to see that UFC. Your right though, when I was in Vegas for Pride 32...I think it was just a much more educated MMA crowd. I also went to the UFC fight night that was here in Tampa which wasnt bad, pretty good crowd. I drove to Miami for Elite XC and Strikeforce and both of those events were pretty respectful as well. Yeah the different locations seem to obviously bring different crowds.
 
damn,i feel so sorry for Duffee...He had the fight and suddenly got knocked out by a bum that did absolutely nothing in this fight.Duffee has so much potential too,he moves like a Lightweight and have heavy hands,only thing he should be better at is saving his energy with all the punches he just throws away thinking he can finish his opponent within 10 seconds.He slowed down in the second round though...The way he is built it looks like he can throw some REALLY hard leg kicks,i am looking forward to see him back again.

Im glad Rashad beat Rampage,all the talk that has been going on and he quit on TUF,backed out of the fight because of movie,and there was excuses after excuses like first,it was the fans that was the reason he left,all the disrespect towards the fighters.Second,it was Dana White`s fault all of a sudden,because he didn`t get a title shot after he lost to Forrest,then Dana said in a Radio Show Interview that all Rampage said was BS and it was Rampage himself that didn`t want to fight Machida for the title as the Title caused Rampage problems in his personal life or something.
The interview was found on youtube,while i read on Rampage`s website about the fans earlier.

Machida is fighting Rampage in September according to Machida`s facebook page.
 
Yeah I like Quinton, but if he really does end up fighting Machida, I think hes going to have difficulties. The way Machida fights is exactly what Quinton has problems stopping, but at the same time Quinton only needs to land one good shot...that is if his cardio holds out.
 
How the hell is Rampage supposed to close in on Machida when Machida is 10 times faster on his feet than Rampage.Both machida and Rampage are counter punchers so unless Machida is going for Rampage`s legs this will be a VERY slow and boring fight.

TUF is on tonight. I wonder if Tito is going to get kicked off the show.

I think so.. but never really "Kicked Off" more like replaced since this is the first time a coach (that was scheduled to fight an opposing coach) has pulled out of the fight midway through the show. We already know Chuck is fighting Franklin.. so I guess when the show was being taped they wanted to get Rich in there so he's at least a presence (to make the up coming fight have somewhat relevance).
