It was the first ever sanctioned MMA event in California and the biggest crowd (18,265) at an MMA event in US history. I was a part of history, anyone else here attend the event last night?

 

I wanted to go but no one really wanted to go

 

It was a huge sausage fest, but I did see a few females there. I took my GF and she enjoyed it. She was never into the MMA stuff until the series "The Ultimate Fighter" aired on SpikeTV. That show converted her into an MMA fan.

 

How many people does the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim hold? UFC 59 is sold out.

Maybe this will top the previous 18K+ event.

 

form sol cal... couldn't make it... but it does sound pretty excitingf....

 

i was there .. 3rd to last fight i felt the guy who lost should've submitted his opponent with all his chances. Cung Le fight was exciting although I wish I could have seen them go to the ground. And the Shamrock-Gracie fight was just horrible imo.

 

You may be right.

 

You must be a Gracie fan. Too bad for you.

 

Gracie vs. Hughes in May.......thats going to be an interesting fight to watch.

Matt Hughes Vs. Royce Gracie
Name: Matt Hughes
Height: 5.9
Weight: 169
Record: 40-4-0


Name: Royce Gracie "This is my house"
Height: 6.1
Weight: 180
Record: 13-1-2

 

I think the Gracies have done a lot for the sport, BUT they are going the way of the dinasaurs. You cannot compete in todays MMA matches without being able to strike. Royce has no striking ability whatsoever.

 

^Agree 100%. He is going to have to take Hughes to the mat and even then, I just don't think he will have enough to beat him.
