Just went to an Ultimate Fighting event...

It was an event put on by Mark 'The Hammer' Coleman's "Hammer House Fight Club".
Totally Sold Out.
We got there assuming that 3 of our friends could buy tickets at the door.
The rest of us had already bought ours tickets.
Lucky me. :D
They had to buy tics from scalpers & take a bath (financially).

There were about 10 fights.
The first few were just some guys with not much experience, not that much talent, but I respect anyone who steps through the ropes.

One fight lasted 10 seconds.
Dude left haymaker-hooked this opponent, got him on the canvas, straddled him left righted his face until he tapped.

Of course I couldn't see it, because a fight was going on to the left of me in the standing crowd. ;D

Eventually, we sneaked into the reserved high dollar ticket place, where the tables with tablecloths are.
Then I could see perfectly. ;D
The last fight only lasted one round, but both guys had good MMA skills.
The guy with the belt (who's girlfriend I met) lost to the other guy & had to give up the belt.
:-[ (don't remember their names)

The coolest part of the night to me, was the fact that Mark Cloeman was really there.
He was at ringside, down on the floor & consoled the losers & congratulated the winners.
He especially spent time with the losers, which I really respected from him.

After the last match, the testoserone level was bending the needle on the meter. ;D
Everyone wanted to fight.
This fight started right in front of us when we were squeezing through the folks to leave.
We stepped back to let the dicks swing, & do whatever they felt they had to do.
I wasn't getting into nothing.
I went there to watch fights. 8)
Anyway, Coleman jumped out the ring & got into the middle of the 'situation'.
Dude, he is the best bouncer of all time.
Nobody fucks with Mark Coleman when he says to "COOL IT!!!" :nono:
I fucking cracked up.
Suddenly, nobody in the crowd thought they were the tuff-guy anymore. ;D
I was right beside Coleman, & I looked him in the eye, shook his hand & said, "I'm proud of you, Buckeye."
(For anyone who doesn't know, Mark Coleman was an Ohio State Buckeye wrestler.)
I was flattered that in the middle of the shit, he turned & gave me a smile.

Personally, as I've said before, I hope Mark quits competitive extreme fighting.
He is the man to be sure, but he is just getting too old, & doesn't have the quickness that he needs to gain control of matches like he always did in the past.
I don't want to see him lose to lesser fighters anymore.
:-\

Here is a flyer of an upcoming event, & my ticket stub.

Did they ever show you on TV?

Good stuff Braddo. How does it compare to the boxing events you've attended?

Probably not as good, I would think.

That would be bad ass. I would love that shit. I just love fighting period.
