UFC 139

Kid: “Daddy, what character do you want to see when we go to Disneyland?”
Daddy: “Godzilla.”
Kid: “That’s not a Disney character.”
Daddy: “Hmmm…Bugs Bunny.”
Kid: “Who’s that?”
Daddy: “The one with the carrot who says ‘What’s up, Doc?’”
Kid: “That’s not a Disney character.”

The main sport I watch regularly is MMA/UFC. However, I’d never been to a live UFC event until a couple of weeks ago when I went to UFC 139 at the HP Pavilion.

Some Pics I Shot:

I wasn’t disappointed. The show was a blast, twelve fights in all, with the headlining bout having the whole crowd on its feet multiple times throughout the bout. It was great seeing fighters I’d watched for years (Dan Henderson, Maurício Rua, Wanderlei Silva) in action.

I was so geeked for the event that I even went to the weigh-in that happened the day before.

Some Weigh-In Video I Shot:

BTW, I thought I’d post this “behind the scenes” video from a past UFC event. It’s a good example of the sacrifice these athletes go through:
