I know many ug members wont be willing to admit they've had an embarrasing moment during there time learning all about mma and this great sport. the general motto here is in the great words of marlow stanfield 'my name is my name'.I'm creating this thread for those of us who are willing to admit,that on looking back we've accidentally made a fool of ourselves at one stage or another so i'll begin.
I once got Robbie Ruthless Lawler to take a picture of me with ryan bader and c.b dolloway. i knew i knew him but his name would not come into my head. i had a blank. he offered to take the photo and i let him. 5 minutes later it all hit me like a frate trane and i wanted to jump out of my 9th floor room window in the MGM. THEE Robbie Lawler, the legend.the guy who's fights were some of the first i'd ever seen... and I let him take a picture of me with some guys from TUF. I'll never forgive myself
here's a link to the photo, enjoy and happy laughing!

hopefully some of you will join in with some embarassing stories to help me forgive myself!
Almost the same story here! I was working at the Boulevard Mall for some extra seasonal pay and Matt Hughes went walking by in his Team Hughes Jersey (I'm pretty sure they were filming TUF at the time) and as I get ready to take the picture, the guy walking with him is standing in the corner waiting and I realize, it was Robbie Lawlor. So I ask Matt if that was him, he says yes, and jumps in the picture. Problem is, the manager I was working for took the picture and was a total cunt. Said later that day that she "accidently" deleted the photo and never sent it to me. Matt came off kind of dickish, but Robbie was pretty cool.
awaits Hughes fans and claims that he really isn't a dick ;)
Mike Pyle made fun of the way that I spoke and because he had just lost to Brock Larson and I was in a fit of rage I briefly entertained thoughts of false cracking him when he was distracted by something! Good thing I didn't because you know I would probably have ended up getting punched in the crucifix position for at least half as long as hathaway did (lol)
I was watching UFC 1 and said the Mexican Karate guy was gonna lose. 
ha Gnarly 219 i met hughes too and he was definetly a dick!
on a better note, that weekend i was talking to ed soares and i got to meet the nogueira brothers. while talking to ed for a good 15 minutes forest griffin came out of nowhere drunk as hell and punched me right in the chest then started laughing. we got a picture, its a prettty awesome memory

When I attended UFC 94, I was exiting the MGM arena after the fights and a tall, tattooed, red-headed fella bumped into me fairly hard, almost knocking me and several others over in the process, and when we turned around and looked at each other he didn't say "excuse me" or give any other appropriate reaction other than to just stand there and stare at me for a good five seconds. I'm far from an asshole, but it was blatantly obvious he was in the wrong and a simple acknowledgement of what he'd done wouldn't been nice, rather than the alpha-dog stare-down. As is common at these events, I just assumed he was some douche who got the tattoos and Affliction gear to look and act the part, so I said something along the lines of "If you're not gonna say 'excuse me' when you run into a bunch of people like that then you ought to watch where you're going." He gave me a half-smile and a look of disbelief and the girl I attended the event with grabbed me and told me to forget about it. It wasn't until later on in the casino when I saw him again, as he was talking to Stephan Bonnar (IIRC) that I realized it was Jason McDonald. To this day I still wonder if he realizes how bad of an ass-whooping he skirted that night ;)
Me making a post on the UG saying that Chael Sonnen didn't win TUF 1.....then realizing he wasn't even on TUF 1.
This isn't a noob story, but a bit embarrassing none-the-less. I was in the casino the night before UFC 116 and a short bald guy (not Dana) approached me and commented on my RVT shirt and asked if I was a hardcore fan and if I'd ever trained in any aspect of the sport before. I told him I had, and he proceeded to grill me on how I thought James Toney's upcoming fight with Randy would go. I gave him my honest prediction of the outcome, and I specifically remember saying some things like "Randy will beat Toney's brains out of his head" and "James Toney better bring a second pair of trunks because Randy is gonna literally beat shit out of him". The bald guy politely let me finish, and when I was done, handed me his business card and introduced himself as Rick Crouch, VP of Lights Out Productions and Toney's manager. Needless to say I was a bit embarrassed, but Rick was incredibly nice and even called Toney to see if he was around to come meet us.
I was in Vegas for UFC 91 and the group I was with wanted to party at Prive for the Tapout prefight party. Needless to say, we ran into a lot of fighters that night. I was standing next to Marcus Davis and we were making small talk, so some of friends came over and I start itroducing him to the females, "Ladies, this is Spencer Fisher." All the girls shook his hand, grabbed a few pics and so on. It was obviously loud in the club and one of the girls was asking Marcus questions. He leaned over to me and asked me, "Did you tell them my name was Spencer?" FUCKING NOOB RIGHT AT THAT FUCKING MOMENT!!!!
All I could muster out was, "My bad man.....shit....Marcus!" LOL!!! Most embarrassing MMA moment EVER!
haha Big EP thats some funny shit!! Marcus is a cool guy, he did a tour of Ireland last year and i got to train with him here in Galway at Pointblank submissions.
I don't know if this is a noobish moment, but I did feel like a retard. While leaving K-1 Dynamite (that entire event was kind of a noobish moment for MMA event production), Rampage was walking out to the parking lot, wearing the UFC belt, and followed by a bunch of women. People were all shouting "RAMPAGE!! WOOO!" and random crap as he made his way through the crowd. I look over and Frank Trigg is in his car, by himself, stuck in the traffic that is trying to leave. Nobody was recognizing him or they just didn't care, so I thought I'd let him know at least someone knew who he was. I yelled "TRIGG!!!" (and maybe I added a "woooo!" to match the other yells).
He looked at me like I was the biggest asshole ever and then kept driving.
I was never a Trigg fan anyway, so I guess I got what I deserved.
Right after UFC 6 came out on video... my buddy brought all the VHS tapes 1-6 that his Dad had recorded.
We accidentally watched 6 first because they were not labelled correctly.
I told him and the rest of the room that Tank Abbot was the greatest fighter of all time, and if the Oleg fight was not in Wyoming in the high altitude, tank would have killed him.
Then we watched 1-5 and I realized that little mexican karate guy was way better than anyone else.

i just stalked the rest of the photos, we don't get ufc fighters and personalities here. TJ Grant is near by, and Shaolin is doing our BJJ grading in january though.
i'd give a nut to meet the nogueiras.
