There were only a nominal amount of Euro Douch Bags there..example below (no that's not Phil Baroni - New York Badass)
I was getting a beer and bumped into UFC fighter 'Handsome' Matt Wiman. I went back and got Saviya. He was kind enough to talk for a minute and pose with Saviya here
The obligatory self held shot of Saviya and I at UFC99!
Here I enjoy one of several one Liter beers they sold for 6.30 euro (8.75US). Try getting that at the Seahawks games!
Hmm good...
Our view was pretty good. Far enough away that we had to look at the big screens to see submissions or intense ground work, but off the floor enough to still see all the stand up action. The night was full of stand up battles, so it worked out OK.
At UFC62 we paid 500 US for each seat..for UFC99 we only paid 85Euro!
Over 15000 people came out..from US, UK, Croatia, Germany, the Netherlands, and I am sure many more.
The walk outs of the fighters were funny...pick a badass song to pump you up....did I hear Michael Jackson
Dan Hardy Vs Marcus Davis...good battle as expected
Really was a terrific night. 12 fights. almost 6 hours of entertainment. Good people around us (except the jackass that chain smoked all night).
Main Event was Wanderlei Silva vs Rich Frankin at a catchweight of 195. It was a good fight, I thought it was alot closer than the 30-27 score that got Franklin the victory.
So a much different experience than UFC62 in Las Vegas. A bit less glitz and glam, but affordable and totally enjoyable. Worth every penny.
