~love me some mma~

Hello friends! Last night Chris Jones put on another MMA event at the sportzone and with the company of my friend Adam we strolled out to see if we couldn't see us some a$$ whoopings! Is there really any better way to spend a Saturday night? I think not. As we mosied in to the facility, got our tickets, all that mumbo jumbo, we made our way to some seats awaiting the start of the show. We had pretty decent seats to start with, no morbidly obese people sitting next to me, nudging my arm while they eat their super chili cheese fries, no poorly disciplined children kicking our chairs or incessantly whining about wanting candy. It was looking to be a nice evening! Then in a stroke of luck Adam saw his boss who had extra seats at his table and invited us to join him! Bonus! Ringside seats are always lovely! As I often do when in public, I started looking around, just observing the people, there are always exorbitant amounts of interesting specimens at these Topeka events, and they only get more awesome as the beer starts flowing! Easily the biggest douche of the night was the fellow to our right wearing his white dress shirt only buttoned up to just below his chest with his special little dress shoes, what a straight G. Adam and I were complaining at some of the music choices made by the d.j., but not this guy, every time some terrible 80's song would come on you could see the excitement come over his face as he would quickly turn to his friend and start singing into his beer can, bobbing his head back and forth, fighting the urge to get up and dance (although once the beer kicked in he could fight the urge no longer) *sigh*...he was really quite impressed with himself, but at least the 2 of us got quite a few chuckles at his expense! As for the fights, they were pretty good overall! Definitely some good action! One old man got choked completely unconscious, always awesome. One fellow got his face smashed rather well! There were a couple interesting nicknames, "the ninja turtle", "the armadillo", "the wrestler" (which I thought was rather uncreative) lets pause and talk about "the wrestler" for a moment, his pack of followers were sitting directly behind us and cheering there guts out, understandably, and due credit "the wrestler" thumped his opponent rather well and sunk a rear naked choke (it wasn't technically the prettiest but it was effective) but after his fight his crowd (who was rather schwasted at this point) was yelling things still, things like "yeeeah! whipped hiss asss pusssyy!" "20 years old! 20 years old!" "you're the baddest mother f*****!". Now, I totally understand supporting your friends and family, but I didn't understand calling him a pussy or stating his age for all to hear...can't you just clap or something? And I will assure you he is not in fact the baddest mother f*****. If I was to choose someone from last nights catalog of fighters to give that title to, it would have easily been this cat Darion Terry, good grief, that dude is JACKED! And talented! props to the kid he fought, he did better than alot of folks would! But that Terry will be murdering people for sometime to come! Also all of the goofballs who were booing him after he won (obviously friends of the victim) are giant turds, there is no need for that garbage. Have a little class. Overall it was a good fun night, a well done show with good fights, props to the fighters and promoters for giving me some enjoyment on a Saturday evening.
