We finally scored some free tickets to a UFC fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It was quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen in a while. (Well, except that we did see Mike Tyson walking around the strip the other day. Seeing his ridiculous tattoo and hearing his voice was pretty awesome too.)
Try to focus here Cam...
So like I was saying, we scored free tickets to UFC 132: Urijah Faber vs. Dominick Cruz. I don't follow UFC religiously or anything but I knew who Urijah Faber was from his TV ads for the Ultimate UFC Workout video game for Xbox. (trust me, all the ladies who have seen that commercial remember him too) Unfortunately, Dominick defeated Cruz via unanimous decision. What I find interesting is that Cruz received 40k and Faber received 32k. But, Wanderlei Silva received a quarter of a million dollars and he was defeated by KO in 27 seconds in the first round by Chris Leben who only received 92k. We actually got to see Wanderlei Silva a few hours later making a club appearance inside the MGM. He's like a sharpei, so ugly he's cute. Poor Tito Ortiz was paid a half a million dollars for the night. Must be a rough life. I had no idea there was that much money invested in UFC but I guess it would make since each of our tickets were over $300 and there were over 13,000 people in attendance that night.
While we are on the topic of UFC, let me mention the most amazing energy drink ever, Xyience. It's the official energy drink of the UFC and contains all kinds of yummy vitamins and minerals. I highly recommend Cherry Lime. You can read more about their products on their website.
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
