I just came from UFC's Expo in Vegas and all I can say is...DAMN! I had a great time. All the big names were there. I had a blast! I got autographs from the who's who in MMA. It was truly amazing. UFC please, I hope this is the beginning of an annual event. Interesting enough, as I was weaving my way around the convention hall, who do I see with a crowd around him...Junie Brown. I couldn't believe the crowd he got. Come on people if you have any real love for the sport how can you like this guy....he's such a loser! People wanted to take pictures with him and get his autograph...really...why???? Horrible fighter and moreover horrible for the sport I so dearly love.

That is the way of the main stream.

That's cool, the mainstream crowd flocks to him making room for you to get your picks and autographs with the real stars and legends. Win for you, loss for them.

..true...but it was a mad house there. People were getting in line two hours before the fighters were suppose to arrive for signing. Great times...great times!

Who you get to meet/get autos from?!

I met so many I guess Royce Gracie was the big one. Rampage was there but I met him at a small fight venue. Shogun, Dean Lister, Gilbert Ivel, Minotauro, JC, ....list goes on and on. UFC did an amazing job with this expo. I'm really hoping this turns into an anual thing, people would always go to this thing. I think they would need to attach a decent card with it...but ....it would still attract alot of people.

I agree..I never met so many fighters in one place..and got their autographs, and didn't mind waiting in line to meet them. A lot of the guys I just bumped into walking to different booths. Then to watch Chuck inducted into the HOF was good, along with the Q+A with Dana. I got to ask him about Fedor in the UFC, and he finally admitted that he really wanted him (obvious). But altogether, I had a great time, and I wouldn't mind flying wherever the next one is located.
