UFC 103 – a great time
UFC 103 came to Dallas last weekend and it was a blast! I got hooked up with a free ticket to attend, I don’t attend public events often so this was a very big experience. Our seats were pretty good and below is a picture o fmy view of the octagon taken from my blackberry:
This picture was taken during the prelims but believe me, the America Airlines center filled up to capacity later that night. Here are the fights from that night taken from the wikipedia:

I also go caught on video goofing off with a coworker and doing the robot!
If you ever get a chance to go to a UFC event, I highly recommend it!
