Last night we went to King of the Cage “Redemption on the River” at The Mark of the Quad Cities. The event started at 9pm, and we didn’t leave the arena until after the last fight at 2am! There were 16 fights total, and most of the ended with a tapout. This event will be on PPV March 10, 2006.
It was kind of cool getting to see Andrei Arlovski there too. He was promoting his fight with Tim Sylvia coming up in Vegas. My friend Jessi and I went outside for a smoke, and we saw Matt Hughes signing autographs, so we grabbed my camera and my wallet, and headed towards him. We found Tim Sylvia, Matt Hughes, Sam Hoger, and Robbie Lawler hanging out together, so they took some time out to say hi, sign our shirts, and get some pictures! They were ALL really cool, and talked with us for a little while.
The picture of me and Matt was taken after I asked him if I could put on his UFC Championship belt, so he’s like..”sure go ahead!” so I attempt to pick it up..omg, that thing is heavy as hell. He started laughing and came over and put it around me so we took a picture.
