So over the weekend, I attended my first live MMA show in a couple years. Even though it was just a local event, I wanted to share my experience on what I feel has changed in that short amount of time.
First off, I seemed to be out of dress code. Literally 90% of the males wore t-shirts of Affliction, Tapout, or another
There was lots of this "fight gear" being sold and worn, but I could not figure out where the actual gear was. All I saw was a skull/pitbull logo on t-shirts, hats, & beanies.
Many more silicon filled groupies were present strutting their stuff, but this was a good thing. Fighters deserve more sluts. However, along with sluts, come posers.
I was sitting cageside when one of these posers kept leaning over to my buddy, who is a UFC vet, and said how he was down 10 grand but he had 25 grand on this next fight. I knew his fake status because I saw him sneak up to the front row and he had a fugly wench on his lap. This was only because he didn't have a seat for her. So where can you bet thousands of dollars on local amateur fights?
On a positive note, I noticed much less comments like "kick him in the nuts, I could beat him, why doesn't he just hit him, stand up pussy, etc." I like how the popularity and knowledge of the sport has grown, but the new fans need to quit acting all hard and like they know it all.
