I was a huge orioles fan back around 2008-2013. Brian Roberts was by far my favorite player. So i go to Camden yards to watch them play. after the game we hung out at the tunnel where the players would walk up to go to their car in hopes of getting autographs. So far, no problem, my self respect is still intact. Heres where it fell apart…
I see Brian driving away in a f150. Having really wanted his autograph i took off running after his truck. I’m running and waving my hands yelling like a degenerate and i must’ve got his attention bc he waited for me at the stop sign. I get up to him out of breath and start begging for an autograph. I forget I’m wearing the jersey i wanted him to sign, so i have him sign my chest like i was a hot chick getting her tits signed. I look around at the others that started gathering around his drivers window and realized nobody else was above 12 years old (im early 20s)… at this point, the shame of chasing another man to get him to sign my chest starts to set in…i had about a three hour ride home to reflect on my life and i decided that in order to keep some dignity i would never get an autograph again!!!

This was disappointing to see. Trevor Wittman having Kamaru and Justin race and goof around with the posters.
Justin even says “I feel sorry for the dude that buys this one, I hope I don’t get it”. Wittman was having them goof around and sign without looking and shit.
I get it, have fun, but the UFC sells these things are PREMIUM prices to their friends, family, and most importantly the fans. Kamaru and Justin are arguably the biggest names on the PPV signing these posters, it’s so disrespectful to just scribble.

On the other hand, I totally see why fighters do this. As I mentioned above I had a friend write weird shit on Strikeforce posters he fought on. He was dehydrated and like “fuck this”. In hindsight I’m sure these guys don’t mean to do such a shitty job. UFC should just do away with the poster signings the week of the fight. They should have them sign them when they aren’t cutting weight and focusing on a fight.
I saw a behind the scenes Bellator video from 290 and the guy was like “hey Fedor sorry man we just have 1 more box of posters for you to sign” and Fedors face was like “FUCK” before they could laugh and say I’m joking. lol
Wittman is kind of a weird guy
