Got there at towards the end of Bruce LeeRoy vs. Cole Miller, and I was happy Alex got the W.
Was with about 6 other people but had to wait at the entrance for some others to get there. While waiting I saw Jake Ellenberger and Ian McCall, each with a smoking hot blonde. Didn't say anything cause they were a bit away from where I was. Also got to see Roy Hibbert (7'2 basketball player/ Ex-Laker thank goodness) and Larry Nance Jr. (2nd year Los Angeles Laker). Told em what's up and both were real cool and with a group of 4 smoking hot 10's. Hibbert is insanely huge. Ended up seeing Ellenberger while in line getting a drink. Told him what's up and good luck against Matt Brown. He was a really cool dude.
- Andrade looks like a beast at 115. Sucks to see Penne take another brutal loss. That booty don't deserve that. Arianny also walked around the cage holding the 3rd round sign at the start of the 2nd round. Crowd got a good laugh.
- Dariush landed a totally savage KO. My goodness that was brutal. Crowd went insane. I just remember thinking, "damn, that's gonna be tough to beat for KO of the night"
- Ortega vs. Guida felt like a bit of a sparring match tbh. Well, it did in the arena. Crowd was getting a bit restless but I could feel Ortega picking it up in the 3rd. Then BOOM, flying knee out of nowhere. Crowd lost their shit. That was insane. Even though Ortega was the hometown kid, the crowd was definitely a Guida crowd. He had an awesome walk out to the octagon.
- Hyped for Poirier to get another dominant victory. Once Green started taunting the crowd kinda turned on him, then BOOM. Poirier put it on him and got the finish. He definitely deserves a top 10 opponent next.
- MOMENT OF THE YEAR. MOMENT OF MY LIFE. The crowd was 100% for Hendo. He got an insane pop when Buffer announced him. Crowd was nervous as hell at the end of the first with Hendo getting dropped TWICE. When Hendo landed that elbow and put Lombard out, I had never heard an arena so loud. My voice is half gone because of it. Everybody giving each other high-five's and hugging each other. A moment I'll never ever forget.
- My boyyyy Max Holloway keeps doing big things and really put it on Lamas. Props to Lamas, dude is tough. Those last 10-15 seconds where Lamas and Holloway were both like "Let's go!" and started throwing haymakers in the middle of the octagon had the crowd going crazy. Everybody was standing after the fight ended. That was awesome. 9 in a row for my man. Dude is coming for that belt.
- Heart wanted Faber but man, Cruz put on a fantastic performance. Crowd went nuts when "California Love" hit. That was awesome. I'd say the crowd was about 60-40 for Faber. Cruz showed why he's one of the P4P best in the world. Looked fantastic and showed some power too. Hope to see Dillashaw win against Assuncao so we get Cruz Dillashaw 2. Surprisingly, quite a lot of people left after the Faber Cruz fight. Huge mistake.
- Upset of the year! I'll be the first to say I was wrong and I predicted Rockhold to win inside of 2 maybe 3 rounds. But my goodness, Rockhold came into this fight severely overlooking Bisping. I watched the Embedded series for 199 and damn, Rockhold had ZERO respect for Bisping. You can see it in fight, hands down and all. It reminded me of Overeem Bigfoot but worse. I understand he beat Bisping already, but damn, some people never learn that this MMA. The crowd didn't even really pop when Bisping finished Rockhold tbh, everybody was just in disbelief. I was cheering like crazy. Bisping has grown on me a ton since I started watching MMA in 2009. Yeah he talks a lot of shit, but he backs it up. He will fight anybody, anywhere, whenever, and is always throwing his name in the mix to fight the best. I'm really happy for Bisping. Dude is a warrior. Props to everybody that bet on Bisping, was seeing a lot of people posting their bets and picking Bisping. Congrats.
- They showed the OFFICIAL promo for Diaz vs. McGregor 2 and the crowd went NUTS! Conor got boo'ed every time he was on the screens. When they showed Diaz in the crowd the crowd went insane for him.
- They also showed an awesome UFC 200 promo as well. Sure most of you seen it, the one where it shows Brock at the end of it. Crowd went insane for Brock. That was awesome.
- Showed some awesome Muhammad Ali tribute videos as well. That was amazing. Well edited as well.
I'll never forget UFC 199. It was incredible. So lucky I was able to go. Fucking incredible card. I couldn't have asked for a better card. Hendo KO'ing Lombard was unreal. Bisping getting that strap from smug Rockhold in devastating/shocking fashion after 10 years was amazing.
Thanks JBG's!
*View form the upper levels at The Forum was amazing. You can see inside the cage crystal clear. It's a small venue so seeing inside the cage was no problem. They didn't look like ants.
