Ufc 102

[Chris Nordling]

Is here in Portland. Tickets go on sale Saturday !! Although it's pricier than staying at home and getting PPV, it's probably A LOT more fun live !!!

Anyone going to try and get tickets? I think I'll make one of my younger brothers pony up and stand in line for us :D

I will be there with Impact Jiu-Jitsu, and my Chute Boxe camp doing corner duties for a couple of the preliminary fights. I am hoping to be able to get some guest passes, and if so I could give them away to folks here. All they do is get you in early, and give you access to everything but the locker rooms, and prep points along the entrance walk, up until the front gates open, and the masses roll in. Cool to see MMA fans all over the place though! I talked to a gentleman about the fights of UFC 99 just yesterday! I'll let the board know if Impact can get the guest access passes though. Last year each of the corner men, for an FCFF event, got 5 passes. Each.

Nice !!

I know some guys that do lighting and such for these kinds of events, might be time to swap out a fishing trip or two !

Unfortunately though, if I do go to this event, I'll be coming from Astoria after work :( , so I'm hoping for a quick day which is pretty much the norm there that time of year :D

Is Randy fighting Nogeria ?

No doubt. I would trade boat time for a free weigh-in pass, or something killer like that from your buds! But, yes. Nogueira has agreed to fight Coutoure in his home town, but we will see how that goes. Antonio has been having injury issues, and if it causes him to not make the weight, I am hoping that both will still agree to fight. I don't think that this one is about perfection in your pre-game. It is about two, pretty old guys bangin with one another for 15 minutes. Speaking of fight length. Zuffa needs to make the WEC, and UFC like the old school Pride with round lengths. A brutal 10 minute first, followed by two 5 minute rounds, and two more 5'rs for title fights that go the di*****ce. Anyhoo, it should be a great card, as alot of local guys like Chael Sonnen and Matt Linland are scheduled to be there as well. And if Chris Leben, and Ed Herman can get their act together, they aparantly have a chance at getting onto the Portland card as well, as prelims.

Ill be there, this was supposed to happen last november but lesnar vs couture was added to that event and they said that portland didnt have enough hotel space near the rose garden so they rescheduled it. This should be fun I have never been to a live event. Arctic I would love a pass if you get any that are not spoken for maybe we could trade for something. Ryan

It is looking good for our camp to get passes. And so far only one person here, and another couple, from elsewhere, have shown interest. If I do get them, you will be on top of the list Ryan. No problem, and no need to trade anything man!
