Khabib, Adesanya, Nate Diaz, McGregor. Also Poirer is a top class fellow.

John Marsh (early UFC and various orgs)

Nice guy. Biggest thickest fucking tree trunk neck I ever saw in my life.

I did a wrestling clinic with him in Southern California around 2006.

We stuck around after and worked out on kicks and he said my kicks sucked. Which is fair. I learned from Tae Kwon do and they really didn't teach us how to get power, more focus on quickness and placement. I was trying to get power with muscles and tightening up and didn't know how to whip my kick around for speed/impact, so it was a useful lesson.

 

[TheTickG]

Passed by Big Nog, Big Chin (Inoki), and Okami. Maybe one other fighter, but can't remember who. Never spoke to them as I didn't have interest to do so.

I ran into BJ at a sportsbook in Vegas and Sam Alvey at a Costco in Nashville. They were both cool.

[Lights Out 101]

I actually met Khamzat in Sweden at an MMA expo before he was signed to the UFC.

He was walking around and I went up to him to say I was a fan, etc. (I had been following his career) He was really nice and we talked for a while. He actually started asking me about my life and what I do, how I like my job and stuff. I was telling him about how hot it gets during the Summer session and he takes his full bottle of protein shake and pours it onto my head, completely ruining my shirt. He then looks me straight in the eye and says, "how could you possibly think that someone like me could like someone like you, bratha"? Then, he took a picture with his phone, laughed, and walked away.

[MrPsychoticKane]

My only encounter was with Mark Hunt?

I'm only guessing because I was walking to my Art school in Newcastle and I saw some bloke riding his bicycle and he got a neck tattoo of that of Mark Hunt, he rode past me but even that says a lot to me, so my encounter with my first ever fighter and a famous person was of course Mark Hunt......weird too because I wasn't fanboying or anything, it was like he's just like the rest of us in Newcastle. lmao!

Jokes aside, did that giant really have a profile on here?

 

[Xoleth]

Well, I was in an airport.
People were talking about a small bald hawaiian guy who was an MMA fighter.
But I didn't see him.
Probably because I am 6'8 and I rarely look down.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Evan Tanner: Awesome guy. Incredibly friendly. Affable. Was taking photos with anyone who wanted outside the venue, allowing them to hold his title.

Tito Ortiz: Took a lot of time to mingle with and listen to his rabid fans at the time. Signed a lot of memorabilia. Was very gracious for the support.

Brock Lesnar: Huge human being, about the width of a big doorway. Quiet. Introverted. Seemed annoyed.

 

[Naj85]

The one I remember and talked with
Overeem, Fedor & Tyrone spong

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Conor McGregor and a strange woman came into my porta-potty while I was taking a sh*t. It was an awkward few minutes...
