Went last year, Matt Serra was taking a piss in the urinal next to me, and met Gary Goodridge and the big cat Tom Erikson. Other than that, it's just a bunch of fucking merchandise booths set up. Although there is a grappling competition going on which was fairly awesome.

i went in 05 or 06 can't remember exactly. met carlos newton and dan "the beast" severn. they both did seminars but other than that it was a lot of aikido and other TMA demonstations. at the time it was called the "mixed martial arts expo" but they actually meant an expo with a lot of martial arts mixed into one room, because it sure wasn't an MMA expo. but with the way MMA is now, i would think it's changed/improved a lot since.

Well apparently Matt Hamill will be there with his own booth doing demonstrations. I wonder what other fighters will be there?

I want to go, they have a lot of big names confirmed to be there, i just cant actually do any mma right now due to the shape im in so im not sure if it will be worth the money for gas and to get in if im not gonna be meeting all the announced fighters.
