ECWcock, Are you familiar with the Mongols?
LOL , ECW . Yeah , you would have been a tough guy that night. LOL, LOL, LOL. You wouldnt be posting today , guaranteed !!!!!!!!!
I just saw that video yesterday. How coincidental is that? And, to make it even more bizarre, the person showing it was the undercover ATF agent Billy Queen.
My buddy Leo was the russian fighter. He was being cornered by Clarence Thatch. Leo says the whole situation was just surreal!
Leo was hanging tough. He was all stand up but so was Slayton. It was pretty wild , like a colony of people swarming a gate. Ive seen the video , not pretty.
KID..
Clarence, Andre Walker and I were in his corner.. and yes it was insane.
Leo was still in the ring for a bit when the riot started and he was kind of stuck in time. Like "whoah.. check out all those dudes coming this way" type thing. I turned to Andre and yelled GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE NOW! and then to Leo and yelled the same thing, and he sort of snapped back in to reality and went out the other side of the ring. Clarence was already moving towards the back (not his first time at the dance!) I looked back to see where the mob was and they were now about 15 feet away and moving forward. There advance was hindered (thank god) by the chairs on the floor that were zip tied together and were all tangled up. The freakiest moment for me was when I locked eyes with one of the Mongols. It was like a movie, everything on the sides just sort of blurred and he very clearly said GET THAT MOTHER FUCKER RIGHT THERE! and he and three guys focused on coming at me. All they saw was the back of my ROF shirt! I was gone! Through the ropes and out the other side, up the ramp and out to the back. That put a couple hundred feet between the riot and all of the fighters and trainers watched the madness for a bit. we were then taken to trailers out back with armed guards until the whole thing cleared out.
One of my WILDEST fight memories..
Now go cut weight. See you tomorrow.
"Yeah, Hallman trying to give Buck the trophy,that was one of the classiest things I've seen in the sport. It's great to see someone who is a real competitor do something like that. It shows great humility,IMO."
Hallman's been fucked over by bad decisions and bad rulings too many times. He knows what it's like. It was nice to see that he realizes those kinds of things go both ways, and acknowledged it when he was unfairly given a win. Very cool.
"The freakiest moment for me was when I locked eyes with one of the Mongols. It was like a movie, everything on the sides just sort of blurred and and he very clearly said GET THAT MOTHER FUCKER RIGH THERE! and he and three guys focused on coming at me. All they saw was the back of my ROF shirt! I was gone!"
LOL! That's some freaky shit!
TTT
Thanks for that story Sven! I see Leo a lot as his wife is going through the Immigration process so they stop by my office when they are there.
I'm down to 184.5 : ) I'll be 180 for the weigh in
