I'm trying to remember the venue, I remember the weigh ins being held at a restaurant or night club but I can't remember where the fight was.
I get a feeling it was in a tiny venue where they often hold snooker events.
Little point of interest I found out about years later, Spencer Fisher missed weight that night and was unable to fight Jean Silva on the card.
I was a rare thing for this event, an MMA fan. I swear the place was filled with gangsters, thugs and wide boys, all white, mostly shaved heads and jewelry!
It was all ground level seating, nothing tiered, and my memory tells me we were al sitting real close to the cage.
I don't remember much, I do remember there were a number of fights through out the night outside of the cage, and that when Lee put Pele down the place went mental, really fucking rowdy and a few more fights broke out. Sounds cool but it was pretty intimidating! We left quite quickly after that even though the guys I was with were borderline thugs anyway. Have a feeling it was East London somewhere.
Jason Black was a stud by the way, really expected him to make waves in Pride and UFC when he got in but it wasn't to be
Ian Freeman was supposed to fight that night but I can't remember why it didn't happen
We went to a flithy strip club in Kingston afterwards and took a bunch of pills!
