My brothers and I have been watching this sport since borrowing UFC 1 VHS tapes in the early 90's, all the way to watching it mature into the huge promotion it is today.
It was an awesome night of fights. I got to meet several fighters that I have been watching for years. I was able to meet some of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world. Without boring you with to many details....here are some pictures.
Anderson 'The Spider' Silva vs Patrick 'The Predator' Cote
Thiago 'The Pitbull' Alves and Josh "Kos' Koscheck getting ready to enter the Octagon. This was an amazing fight, however eventually a one sided unanimous decision victory for Alves.
George 'Rush' St Pierre, arguably the best fighter on the planet. He is the 170 pound champ, and quite a nice guy.
Sean "The Muscle Shark" Sherk, on his way to the Octagon to fight Tyson Griffin. This was an amazing fight that Sherk won by unanimous decision.
Me with Cole Miller, American Top Team a 155 pound contender that is exciting to watch fight. Lethal kicks.
Clay 'The Carpenter' Guida. An exciting fighter who fights out of the NW Chicago Suburbs. Also in the pictures is Jeff Samardzija, rookies Cubs relief pitcher and former Notre Dame wide reciever standout. Maybe still the best wide reciever in Chicago.
Matt Sera, 170 pound former champion who knocked out George St. Pierre in the biggest upset in UFC history.
Me with ring girl Arianny Celeste. She's kind of cute.
Me with legendary cut man "Stitch".
Dean 'The Boogieman' Lister
Herb Dean, legendary referee.
Me with Shonie Carter, former 170 pound UFC contender. Famous for his appearance on "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show, as well as his amazing spinning backfist knock out of Matt Sera. You may remember Shonie from a previoous post, in which he was the referee in the 'Double Knockout' bout.
Spender "The King" Fisher, fresh off a third round triangle choke victory of Shannon Gugerty.
And or course, the crew.
A big thank you for the guy who made this happen.
