When I was a kid I was welterweight (amature)
You should see my nose :crybaby2:

They have UFC fights at the local casinos here and I have been to a few of the fights - one thing for sure is: those guys are not playin and they are brutal fights. :BangHead:
-
Kohler - what time will you have the results (winners) posted? (Pacific time)
-
Yeah...some of those vegas promoters are "serious" guys. Ahhh....memories!!! :sad1:
-
I wish I could attend a UFC event. Around me it is only local fighters and local brands.
mc1962,
The winners will be posted after the last fight. It is scheduled to end at 10 but sometimes the fights go past that depending on the outcome.
I will update my posts with the winners as we go along. After all the fights are over I will see who wins and make another post with a winner board.
