Adrenaline MMA was a blast!
Promoted to the Front Page by Zak Woods. WKR reader baldspot23 went to Adrenaline MMA IV and the following post describes his experience.
This was only my second ever live professional MMA event. So it was definitely my 2nd favorite..lol, it would've been just as good as the UFC if there were just a couple more names on the card. It was a very fun trip though.
We got really lucky and the hotel we stayed at just happened to be the same hotel that all the fighters were at so i got this shot of Monte Cox when we first got there. One of the main reasons i liked this show so much was that we got wicked seats 2 for $100, when i went to the UFC last year it cost that much and we were about as high up as you could go...so just being that close was great. It had a great small time feel to the event with a couple good names on the card.
I got a nice one with the voice himself, although i was embarrassed because I couldn't pronounce his last name so I called him mike.
I had no idea this was Guy Mezger at the show...I read somewhere that the guy from the show The Human Weapon was now doing commentary and I didn't want his picture, didn't know till I watched the fights at home last nite that it was Guy! dammit...
This is my favorite picture from the event, Ron Kruck is awesome, he grabbed the mic and pretended to be interviewing me, so i felt obligated to proclaim that I'm the number one contender to Brock!! lol
Sylvia pulled up to the hotel at the same time we did so I was able to get one with him...said he was going elk hunting in the morning, not with that hand!
Sherman seemed like he wasnt into it if you cant tell, but I felt bad for the guy. He was limping and looked to be in a lot of pain, so maybe im the asshole for even asking for the pic...my bad
Houston Alexander's dad was walking around...didn't know who he was most of the night, just kept wondering who the old pimp in the Tapout gear was.
Forrest Pettz gave me an autograph, even tho he had busted fingers, nice guy.
Never got an actual picture of Houston except for a couple in the cage, so this will have to do.
To me this is why I love going to live events, getting the chance to meet stars (in my eyes at least)...this sport is something I will never be able to do so I respect them all, and this is the only sport where you can meet all your favorite athletes face to face and they don't mind. I hope another event comes around my neck of the woods soon because I got that fever now!!
