UFC 80: Newcastle, England - BJ Penn Vs. Joe Stevenson / UFC Fight Night 12

ReleasH

yay! I just finished up at work. I could still get called in later but it's unlikely. So no beer for releash during the event, but that's okay.

I've been looking at flights for Montreal guys . . . they are running around $400 which is a little steep so hopefully they'll come down

sale!, sale!, i'm hoping for a sale! it's funny, releash, but the cheapest flight i could find was about 450$, so roughly about the same which is kind of weird considering our locations! i think i can get the train for about half that, and time's not an issue for me, so i'll be going that way unless i find a sale first. i'll be hoping you find one!

happy to hear you're home to see the show!

i'm was hoping that flights would be more like $250 so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a sale too. I know that it's more expensive to fly into/out of smaller cities like Halifax so I'm assuming that's why it's about the same for you despite a shorter travel distance. Unfortunately time is an issue for me so I can't go the train route like you. It's already going to be tricky getting Friday through Sunday off ... I may have tell a little white lie and say I'm in a wedding or something. Luckily I haven't taken any sick days and I've worked more than my fair share of weekends this year, so I'm hopeful it will work out.

I'm glad you guys want to share a room too ! Just a thought but should one of us buy the 3 tickets so we can sit together at the event?

hey chicky, long time no post!! workin' hard?

yah, i don't mind ordering the tickets... i was going to set us up with a Fight Club membership so we can get advanced tickets... i'm pretty much on line all day anyways, so i can try for them as soon as they're on sale...

i saw you logged into the fight club, ceg. i took a hit on that last one. "j bully" is pulling ahead! i also shouldn't have doubted pearljamfan99's friend!

ReleasH

I got my picks in for fantasy last night ... I don't want to see the prelim results yet in case we get to see Sam's fight , so this is what I vaguely remember picking . . . .

BJ Penn Vs. Joe Stevenson - Penn by TKO
Gabriel Gonzaga Vs. Fabricio Werdum - gonzaga by TKO
Marcus Davis Vs. Jess Liaudin - davis by KO
Jason Lambert vs. Wilson Gouveia - gouveia by decision
Kendall Grove Vs. Jorge Rivera - Grove by submission

Pre-lims:

Alessio Sakara Vs. James Lee - sakara (? method of victory)
Sam Stout Vs. Per Eklund - stout by ko
Paul Taylor Vs. Paul Kelly - ??? I might have said Kelly
Antoni Hardonk Vs. Colin Robinson - hardonk by tko

Yeah that's me ... just a little tribute to Gray

We'll see how it turns out ... lots of fights left to go.

Hey CEG!!!!!! Yeah work has kinda been kicking my ass lately. The hours on surgery are insanely long (I've been at the hospital something like 85 hours since Monday morning) but I absolutely love it, so I can't complain too much.

Thanks so much for working on the tickets!! I'm actually getting excited for it already ... it's going to be a great fight card, especially to see in person and I get to meet you guys!

haha... nice! it looks like he's giving you some great karma today!!

Roger's up and left me!!! :(

ReleasH

I couldn't resist ... I had to check the points in the league. I better watch out for Mookie and pearljamfan99's friend. Sorry Roger's left you Ceg! :(

ReleasH

Geez!!!! I didn't see that one coming .... Jorge Rivera demolished Kendall Grove!!!!

mookie blaylock 10

jorge was incredibly agressive start to finish. i didn't expect for him to be so expolsive initially! i guess a year off was good to him. wow! kendall was simply overwhelmed and was out of that one early.

civ_eng_girl

:eek: holy cow! what was that?

a quick start to the afternoon!

civ_eng_girl

omg.. there's a lot of red on my score card....

but there's at least ONE name in green!!

the important one was right!

mookie blaylock 10

i still can't get over jorge's agressiveness!...

ReleasH

Mookie's pulled ahead in the fantasy league!

I also apparently forgot who I chose to win this fight ... I have Lambert winning by unanimous decision. I think I give the first round to him.
