    You are going to love it REED!!! I love the local MMA shows around my neck of the woods. Intense as fuck, sometimes you get some pretty shitty fighters, but the only good thing is they usually get put to sleep fairly brutally. No matter what, make a thread about it, I'd love to hear what you thought about the live event.

    I used to go to local MMA shows all the time. Ring of Combat, Euphoria, MFC, Reality Fights, etc. They used to come to the Rex-Plex all the time, unfortunately, they shut that place down.

    It's cool seeing fighters who you watched when they were unknowns make the big time. I was watching guys who eventually made it to UFC\Afflcition\EliteXC, like Eddie Alvarez, Josh Koscheck, Ben Rothwell, Pete Sell, Chael Sonnen, and a bunch of TUF fighters, etc.

    You should either get a program, or write down the names of the fighters and look at it in a few years and see if any of them made it big time.

    Honestly, REED REQUESTED a UFC Guy, but this Low-Budget Ass Organization COULDN'T Afford Any....REED was even Willing to Whip Marcus Hicks' WEC Ass, just for the Fuck of it, but Again, the MONEY Wasn't Right...

    It Go's w/Out Saying, REED ISN'T Scared, but he'd Need MORE Money to RISK Fighting 1 of those Wheelchair Motherfuckers (That "Toe-Roll" Move is NO Joke)...So If this Organization CAN'T Find a Quadraplegic for REED to Fight, he Doesn't Want to Take the Chance...Not for what they're Offering, Anyways...

    What's Fair is FAIR, Right???

    That's what REED is Expecting, Honestly...

    Marcus Hicks is Pretty Much THE PREMIER MMA Guy N Dallas/Ft. Worth, so Seeing how Varner Handled him N WEC OPENED REED's Eye's to the Level of TALENT Out There...

    Marcus is REED's "MMA Litmus Test"...REED Called him Up & Ran Off the Names on the Card...Similar to What U Said, he Told REED to Anticipate ALOT of KO's, but NOT to Expect to See ANY of those Guys on T.V., Down the Road...

    & Marcus ISN'T the Type to HATE on a Guy N his Profession...If a Guy is GOOD, Marcus Gives him his Props, as he Does to Varner whenever ANYBODY Asks him about their Fight...

    Regardless, REED IS Excited & Will Write a Little Something about it...

    I don't blame you man. No way you should be taking short money. Those quads already have government funding and shit. That's ridiculous they can't offer you some real pay against dangerous well funded opponents.

    Even though it won't mean much because i'm nowhere near the place i'm officially boycotting that card.

    Sorry for the LACK of Action Shots, Fellas...Dickie Cole & the Rest of the Texas Athletic Commission WOULDN'T Allow Flash Photography During the Bouts...

    REED has a Digital Cam, but it's Low Budget, so w/Out a Flash, the Pics R Pretty Fucking DARK...

    FUN Night of Fights...

    7 Bouts Overall...2 Went the 3 Round Distance... 1 2nd Round KO & the Rest were ALL 1st Round KO's:fightme:....Only 2-3 of the 14 Fighters Look to have ANY Shot of Fighting PAST the Local Scene...Liam McCarty, Douglas Frey & Derek Campos...

    The FUNNIEST Part of the Night was the "Fuck the Police" Back & Forth that REED wrote about:lol:...Chris White WASN'T Having it & Said,"No, FUCK YOU!!!"...

    1 of the Undercard Guys PROPOSED to his Girlfriend after Winning his Fight...SWEET Moment...She was in TEARS the Rest of the Night...The Eye Candy COULD have Been BETTER Overall, but REED Got a Pic of the HOTTEST of the Eye Candy...

    REED Took a Pic of the Ramp the Fighters Walked Down, as they Entered the Ring...Eye Candy Standing on Both Sides of the Curtain...@ 1 Point, REED was in the Back w/the Fighters, Taking Pics...As REED was Approaching the Curtain to Walk Back to his Seat, Something Compelled REED to Raise his Arms & Dramatically Pull the Curtain Back...

    So REED Did, Raised his Arms in the Air & the Eye Candy Bitches Cheered & Applauded as if REED was a Fighter:lol:...Then, REED Playfully Walked Towards the Ref as if he was Ready to Get Greased Up...The Ref was DYING Laughing...

    :bears: You got charisma Reed! You're the life of the party! We need to chill out someday, have a beer and talk about stuff! :kidcool: So were the women really hot? Or did they look like what you'd expect on a relatively small show? Sort of like local bar waitresses at Hooters? I saw the pic and I'm thinking they're pretty cheap, about as good as what you'd expect for a couple hundred just to walk around flashing asses to the drunks.:lol:
    How much do you think these fighters are getting paid? I'm thinking 1K at the least, 10-12K at the most.
    So this looks like a farm league where guys are looking to build their way to bigger things like the UFC. Apparently you said most of them likely won't ever go far in their careers and I can sense you're right.
    Did any of those guys really stand out to you? Did you see a lot of world class skill or do you think, at best, these guys would be better off just working as sparring partners or finding real jobs?

    Reed, are you attending a UFC sometime soon? Do you think you could get in for free by being part of the press? I think we can make it happen. We already have FightBeat as our website but we need some press passes like what guys on here like joon and cupey get when attending boxing shows.

    REED Definitely Knows how to WORK a Room...

    If U Look @ the Very 1st Pic REED Posted, U Can See the "Xtreme Knockout Girls" on Both Sides of the Curtain, as Liam McCarty Makes his Ring Entrance...1 of them is FAT & the Others Carry VARYING Degrees of FUCKability...

    Ker's Winghouse (a Rip-Off of Hooters) had a RedHead On Site, Advertising the Official AfterParty...She was the HOTTEST of the Chicks that were PAID to B There, so REED Got a Pic of Her (Women R SUCKERS for Cameras)...A Few of the Fighters Wives/Girlfriends were even NICER Looking....

    All in All, it was about what U'd Expect @ a Local Show, N Terms of Attractive Females...No Drop Dead GORGEOUS Broads, but Some Pretty Nice-Decent Eye Candy...

    REED Seriously DOUBTS if ANY Fighter Got Paid 10-12 Grand...Probably 1 -2 Grand MAX...McCarty, Frey & Campos Stood Out...McCarty LOOKS like he's Already in his 30's though...Frey is McCarty's Understudy...If ANY of them "Makes It", it'll Probably B Campos...He LEFT Lubbock, Tx. Because there was NO Competition there...It Got to the Point that his Own Coach COULDN'T Stop Campos for Subbing him DAILY, so the Coach Referred him to Guy Mezger in Dallas...

    Campos has the LOOK of a Successful MMA Guy...SQUARED Jaw, Fucked Up Cauliflower Ears & Some Good Skills...VERY Humble, Approachable Dude...His Former Coach Told REED the "Sub" Story, NOT Campos Himself...

    REED Doubts that UFC Takes "Fightbeat" Seriously...But Who Knows???...REED Got into Last Saturday's Show by Referencing the Local Site he Writes for (Northtexasboxing.com), NOT Fightbeat...

    FightBeat is highly ranked in the web rankings for fight sites. It's actually more frequented than even some of the bigger MMA sites. I'm certain it's big enough to get us press passes. Although a little hook up never hurts. You have any friends on the 'inside'?
