11 Years Ago Today; JBJ wins LHW Gold

And never forget how that morning began:

This young man showed so much promise lol

I remember being pretty confident that JBJ would win but I certainly did not think it would have been THAT dominant. I was shocked to see shogun so helpless and actually tap out, even if it came after the ref already stopped the fight

And he has now almost been arrested more times than he has fought in the UFC over the last eleven years.

I remember before the fight Jones was signing all the posters “LHW champion Jon Jones” and people were getting pissed about it.

Then at the pre fight press confrence a fan asks jon about the poster thing and says " who do you think you are?"

Jon tells him this Saturday you’ll find out who I am.

I’ll never forget that shit.

As shitty of a human he may be, he’s so fucking good. It’s such a shame he’s such a dirt bag lol

One of the most amazing performances of all-time.

Had Jones retired after the first DC win, he still had an argument as the GOAT.

That was a nutty day for me.

I was in Newark down the road at a Portuguese restaurant in the iron District just a few blocks away from the arena. It happen to be my dads bday and I asked him if he wanted to to catch the fights. I jumped on eBay to see if I could snag any last min tickets as it was already 10pm. Found a buyer selling them for a good price. I couldn’t print them but I ended up just going inside to the office to show them the tickets and see if I could get them. After like 10 min, and watching Shaub KO crocop on the lobby tv the ticket guy comes back and tells me they are fake. I tell him I bought it on eBay and it’s my dads bday and show him the receipt and he tells me to Hold on. Comes back and says his
Boss is in a good mood and gives me even better tickets on the floor practically right in front where they walk up and down when they enter the arena.

I go inside and text the seller telling him the tickets were fake and I got in anyway. He’s pretty argumentative that they are real. Which I thought was odd if they were fake, I do a case to get my money back, he gets all upset. I try calling ticket
Master to confirm they were real and eventually get someone to confirm it. Very weird…not sure why the box office at arena said they were fake. I canceled the disput and let him keep the money.

Anyway, got to see shogun get rekt. Mad sad.

LOL at this basic IQ test.

Just for shits and giggles someone should send this to Wink or Jackson with the simple comment “real or not real?”
