January of 2006, can't believe that was 10 yrs ago.
Was more of a boxing guy back then
My friends who liked the sport drag me to that event
40$ for front row ticket, not that bad.
a 2 hours+ road trip from my hometown of quebec city.
In Quebec the UFC still wasn't well knonw, UFC wasn't on TV here at that point.
Gsp didn't become champ until november of that year.
All changed when he became the UFC WW champion.
We had the TKO org here, TKO was pretty popular in early 00's.
TKO was already selling out big arena here, with name like
GSP, Pat Coté, David Loiseau, Mark Hominick, Sam Stout & any many other.
The event I went to was TKO 24 : Eruption
fighter like Hominick, Clementi, Soszynski were fighting.
The CO-Main event had one of the most popular fighter here
Ivan Menjivar, who was fighting a guy I didn't know about.
The California Kid, Urijah Faber
Menjivar lost By DQ, he kicked Faber in the face while he was down.
Was a good fight until that, lol.
When WEC became big, I became a fan of Faber who was the best fighter on their roster.
The fact that I saw him live once probably had something to do with it.
10 years later now, I'm a little sad to know that tomorrow will be that last time Faber will enter the cage.
I want to thank the little fella for all thoses great fight.
He was the poster boy of lighter weight class.
An OG and a legend.
I'll miss ya bud.
