Living in Columbus, I feel like I should. But there isn't one fighter on the card that I appreciate watching. I like a ton of fighters, but somehow, Joe Silva and Dana White put together an entire card without one fighter I like.

Right now, I'm TBD.

[Guest]

Have you ever been to a live UFC event?

[XUDawg]

68 and 82 in Columbus.

I also saw the Gracie Fighting Championships event in Columbus, which was one of Jacare's first MMA fights. Also there were Vinny Magalhaes (from TUF), who lost to a local can, Demian Maia, and Nissen Osterneck who was in the WEC, and just had his contract switched to the UFC.

It's not that I don't know how cool they are to see in person, it's that I really don't like Rampage or Jardine, and the rest of the card is TERRIBLE.

[Guest]

I was at all 3 of those events also, there is nothing like a live UFC/MMA show in my opinion.
Gonzaga vs Carwin should be good.
I'm a huge Gray Maynard fan. I've gotten to know him a little so that makes it more interesting to me.
Pete Sell always make an exciting fight even though he is nowhere near a top guy.
I talk to Rashad a lot also and he said Jardine will beat Rampage, we'll see.
Ryan Madigan is a local guy who made the card because of injuries but it's a great opportunity for him too.
I like the card but have seen a lot better. The experience is off the charts though.

[Guest]

Press credentials sent today got me jacked up.
The crowd in Columbus is going to be awesome once again..
Debating on if I want to head down Friday or Saturday.

[XUDawg]

Broke down and got tickets yesterday.

[Guest]

Nice.
What section?

[XUDawg]

Lower bowl, but on the end of the oval, rather than the side. Buck fifty seats. I'd definitely rather have your press pass!

[Guest]

We did buy tickets just in case I didn't get a pass, $150 also. My buddy has them but I think section 102.
I'm trying to get my brother (MSwerb) to go to his first live UFC.

[mswerb]

I am in and pretty jacked up for this.
My first live UFC event and first road trip in a while.

[Guest]

Just a few days away.
Doing our show last night got me even more ready for this event.
I think it's going to pretty solid with some entertaining matchups.
Cbus here we come.

Spoon, our trip will not be complete without pictures of us with the ring girls.

[Guest]

Like her? Let's see if we can't bump into her Saturday.

[XUDawg]

Is that Arianny?

Holy shit.

[Guest]

It sure is.
I'm trying to set up an "interview" with her this weekend.

[XUDawg]

Perhaps you know:
What's the deal with the white sneakers? It is obvious to anyone that they would look even hotter in heels. Is this an OSHA thing or something?

If you don't know, get me a press pass and let me pose this question to her Saturday. Something.

[Guest]

They always wear the sneakers. I like it.
I know other people on other sites always ask(or bitch) about that.
I will ask her when I see her Saturday, how about that.

[mswerb]

Hot chicks in sneakers is the best, especially half naked ones.
We will "bump" into her for an "interview"

I'm sure that heels would do some type of damage to the Octagon.

[mswerb]

I'm now hooked. The UFC has a great thing going for them and they package it well.
This was my first time at a live event and I hope not to be my last. Tagging along with The Fight Fans made it even better.

[pup]

You guys get that "interview"?

[mswerb]

No, but we ran into some dude named Drunk.
