n It was my first MMA event and i was very impressed with the show. Of course UFC has a more polished production, Affliction definately held its own.

It was more of a relaxed, party like setting than boxing events. I was very impressed at how approachable the fighters were. I seriously met at least 10-15 top fighters and bullshitted with them like I was at a party or something. I saw lots of other athletes as well. James Toney and Judah were there I also saw Strahan. The only person who was sort of a dick was Michael Buffer. Go figure, he has the best job in the world and he acts like a crabby bitch.

I talked with Stitch Duran for a while and he is as cool as fuck. He said he loves cornering both sports and when I asked him how he liked the event he responded "my feet still havent touched the ground".

The atmosphere was fantastic following 2 devastating knockouts by Barnett and Arlovski. This atmosphere was amplified 100x when Fedor walked into the ring like an unassuming plumber and ferociously mauled Timmy. The place went fucking nuts. I seriously have never seen electricity like that in a sporting event live. It was crazy.


Definately looking forward to more shows in the future.

Glad U Enjoyed it, Dog...

REED is STILL PISSED that this Show was ORIGINALLY Scheduled for Dallas, but since YOU Turned REED onto T.U.F., REED'll Get Over it...

Did U Kick it w/Fedor @ All, or was he Unaccesible???...

Unfortunately Fedor was pretty much MOBBED after the fight, and as you know he is really low key, so I didn't even try. Not only that, of course he entered the opposite side of the arena from me unlike 90% of the other fighters for the night. Although I did get 1 pic from a distance. I missed my "holy grail" of pics. I missed the "Reed + Mayweather" :crying:
