Mate you have no idea, just being there was a buzz but the night had everything....

the card, the main event, Americans buying us drinks because we were "tea drinking limeys and limeys are alright", a bird at the concession stand slipping us freebies because she fancied my mate, drinking with Canadian bikers AND a big brawl in the crowd at the end of the Lesnar fight

What memories

Here's another 2, UFC 138 thats 5 so far with John Hathaway talked of being the sixth.
Talk about home grown they may aswell call it UFC 138: Weed smokers

Mark Scanlon v James Head
Michihiro Omigawa v Jason Young

22 year old Scouser Paul Sass fights for the second time in the UFC against Michael Johnson at UFC on Versus 6 October 1 in Washington D.C.

It'll be the first time he's fought outside of England. Johnson lost in the final of TUF GSP/Koscheck to Jonathan Brookins, Sass is 11-0 (1-0, UFC) 8 by triangle choke including his first 7, 10 subs 1 decision. This kid could be another John Hathaway???

Only in Vegas BaddaBing & remember "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." especially the "limeys" thing we don't want that catching on over here.

Think Sass fights out of the Muaythai gym down in Wavertree mate.Saw him fight at the Olympia a few years ago,great lookin record he's got 10 subs from 11 fights.

The Bantamweight title fight is on that card aswell Dominick Cruz vs. Demetrious Johnson.

Just seen that Urijah Faber will fight Brian Bowles at UFC 139 in a title eliminator fight.

Looks like Marquardt's coming to Britain lads.He's signed up with BAMMA.

He said:

"Offers came in from several fight promotions, but we felt that BAMMA was definitely the best fit," Marquardt stated. "They put on high-quality shows, stack their cards with top-level fighters, and sign those fighters to multi-fight deals. They are also the only fight organization in the U.K. that implements PED testing. To be honest, that is one of the main reasons that we chose BAMMA. I want to prove to my fans and to the world that I'm the real deal and that I belong on top."


So much for my Strikeforce rumour

I think Nate Marquardt could be looking for 2 or 3 easy wins to try & get himself back in the Mr White good books. I don't know whos in BAMMA at the minute but they won't be on the level of Marquardt.

I don't know if this is that gym but according to his Wiki page he fights out of Next Generation MMA, Team Kaobon in Liverpool along with.
Mark Scanlon - UFC
Mark Adams - BAMMA veteran and BAMMA Featherweight champion
Terry Etim - UFC veteran
Eugene Fadiora - BAMMA veteran
Paul Kelly - UFC veteran
Paul Sass - UFC debutee and holder of 7 consecutive triangle choke victories
Mick Sinclair - domestic veteran
Rob Sinclair - BAMMA veteran and BAMMA Lightweight champion
Martin Stapleton - former contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: US vs. UK

Yeah that's the one Mitchell.

UFC 138 John Hathaway v Pascal Krauss, German Krauss is 10-0 with 7 subs. Should be good.

A bit harsh but pretty heroic.
