Oh, I have got to see Matt Brown fight in a real fight.
Not that the Ultimate fighter bouts aren't.
I just think they praised him WAYYY too much.
We will see Saturday.

I need some time to think on some of these fights.
It should be a real good show. I am looking forward to it.

[StressMonkey]

Oh man I don't know who to root for in the Hamil vs Franklin fight.

[magnumfreak]

wish I could go it's only a couple of hours from here.

I want to see Chuck make a good comeback. He has been through some tough times so I pick Chuck over Rashad.

Rich Franklin by decision.


Oh and not to drop names or anything TuffGirl but I did about half my workout today with.............. Forest Griffin!!! He comes in the gym once or twice every month or two when he is in town. Super nice guy. I have been chatting with him off and on when he comes in and today he asked to jump in our workout.

That is awesome, I heard Forrest works out hard.

Yeah, we hit him with all we had weightlifting wise and he didn't even have the decency to break a sweat. LOL!

[TuffGirl]

I am downtown ATL today for a work conference at the Westin Ptree Plaza Hotel ... All the UFC fighters are staying here

I've taken a pic with Martin Kampmann this morning

I hear Chuck, Randy, and all the guys are around

I've got my camera and my blackberry...I will keep you posted

I'm heading over to the weigh-ins at 4pm (if I can get out of this conference)

Sounds like fun. Are you going to the fights Saturday night or watching on PPV? I am heading to a friends house to watch it on his big screen tv.

get busy

[TuffGirl]

No championship on the line so we decided to have a party at home

I'm hearing rumor that the ppv may be blacked out in atlanta since it didn't sellout

A friend has scored me an extra ticket but my hubby has threatened my life if I go and leave without him and the party

What's a TuffGirl to do?

MAIN CARD

Rashad Evans vs. Chuck Liddell - I don't know why, but I'm hoping.
Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill - Don't know who I want to win really.
Karo Parisyan vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida - Don't like Parisyan
Dan Henderson vs. Rousimar Palhares
Martin Kampmann vs. Nate Marquardt


TuffGirl - don't tell me you didn't get tickets to this? I'm shocked...lol

I mean, their nose bleeds, but even I picked up ticktes to this. Hopefully I'll get a chance to get some pictures with some fighters tomorrow

It would be very cool to get some with Randy and or (if he's there) Wanderlie because they are two reasons I even started training.

for what they were charging for tickets, it's no wonder it didn't sell out.

if it's blacked out in atl then go and when you get back treat him really nice if you know what I mean and he will forget about it quickly. I mean, really, he is a guy right? LOL!

Forrest did tell me the other day that seeing one live isn't all that great. He prefers to sit at home and watch it unless he is fighting.

[farsscf]

You should go, he will understand.

Man, I hope he's just used to going cause if I paid $150 for freaken tickets when I could have gone to NAGA instead....I'm gonna be pissed.

[farsscf]

Sucks that Karo and Thiago both have pulled out. I guess no way to replace them, so 8 fights now?

I think most of it comes from his personality. outside the cage if you didn't know who he was you would never guess what he does for a living. Very friendly, easy going and laid back. I am not saying that he is a very private person but more of a joe average that would rather be at home relaxing than in a loud arena. Make sense?

Yeah, understand completely.

[farsscf]

Just watched weigh ins, Palhares is a huge 184.5. Thiago is fighting, just Karo out with a "back injury".

[TuffGirl]

I'm home. I only got pics with Kampmann and McDonald. But I took pics at the Weigh-ins... I try to get them posted tonight.

[TuffGirl]

Chuck and Rashad at the weigh-ins

[TuffGirl]

Me and Martin Kampmann this morning!

[TuffGirl]

Me and Jason McDonald - Lunch time today! (He had a McDonald's Hamburger Restaurant Fast Food Bag in his hand )

[farsscf]

Chuck and Rashad at the weigh-ins

Chuck can do a stare down. Looks like you were close?

[baker]

I can't stand Chuck. I hope he gets KO'd and thats the last we hear of him.
