Thanks to everyone for your help. I posted a thread a week ago about visiting Xtreme Couture while in Vegas and got some good advice, so I wanted to give back.
I ended up being able to stop by the gym and it was a great experience. Everyone there was very nice and welcoming. I can’t recall the name of the blonde lady at the front desk, but she was very accommodating. As far as the fighters go, they were very open as well. I mostly tried to just stay out of the way because I imagine it has to be somewhat annoying to have people bother you at practice. There were a good amount of guys there that day. Shawn Tompkins, Forrest Griffin, Tyson Griffin, Vitor Belfort, Heath Herring, Mike Whitehead, Tim Credeur, Jay Hieron, Mike Pyle, and some others. Vitor Belfort was the nicest by far, he went out of his way to talk to me. Forrest and Tyson were both pretty focused which is definitely understandable given they’re both fighting within the next week. Anyways, thanks to everyone there, I definitely recommend stopping by if anyone is in Vegas.
On to the pictures. This is the easiest way I can figure out to post them, I assume I will need a bluenamer to help post them. I am not a good photographer so I apologize in advance.

Cool!
FirstNobleTruth -.. I am not a good photographer so I apologize in advance.
Understatement of the year.
Looks like a cool day. Thanks for sharing.
Did you train while you were there? and does it have locker rooms?
lol big time. what kind of camera was that. I think i either had a flash back or a seizure looking at your pics. All in all it reminded me of the dead in 1993
Sorry everybody, its a new camera so I'm still figuring it out. I did not train due to an injured knee (getting it scoped on Wednesday). I'm not positive if they had locker rooms but they had large bathrooms and I think most guys changed in there.
kinda blurry in some but for the most part good pics
I wasn't aware that Vitor was even training there right now, so it was pretty surprising when he walked in and started talking to me out of nowhere. He's definitely looking slimmer, his upcoming fight is at 185, right?
