Stood next to Gian for like 5 minutes in Chicago. Could not for the life of me remember who he was, so I never asked for his autograph. The second he walked away, I was like **** - thats GIAN Villante! He was with Weidman.

HAHA
This happened to me in Milwaukee in 2011 (Versus 4 or 5) with Karlos Vemola, and I was sitting next to him for 20 minutes! haha
Because I couldn't remember his name I didn't ask for an autograph or a photo with.
Also Kris McCray was with Jimi Hettis and all I could remember was "The Savage" so I left McCray alone too.

... but come on Bruce it's 2014 & you ARE "The guru"

Good evening guys!

After having a little look through this forum i decided to join to add some of my input in the future if i can. Live in the UK so have pretty much every UK fighter. Hopefully i can be of use somewhere down the line!

Just wondering with a couple of the fighters if they were on the ball and still signed fan mail, in particular Rousey, Weidman, Couture and Hughes?

Its expensive to send photos off to the US from here and include return postage, so thought i would ask what they were like prior to sending!

Thanks in advance!

I'm surprised DEEAKAY hasn't answered already. He's pretty much the go-to on the forum.

Cool to hear you have a big collection from the UK. You're not Logan Helliwell are ya? I know he has a massive UK MMA/Celeb collection.

Rousey signs (but is always a while in-between signings)
Glendale Fighting Club

Couture signs all the time via Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas Nevada

Hughes signs via his website with a little donation.

Weidman hasn't signed much TTM since he became the champ. At least no returns that I've seen.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately not, i've traded a few bits with him before but he lives up north which is a fair 6 hour drive away!

Thanks for the input too with those four, costs me around £14 (about $25) to send out a few 10x8s so glad to know who's a good signer and who isnt!

A bit of a long shot, but do you know about Chuck? already have a few bits from him from years ago, but have some pretty cool posters i aquired i wouldnt mind getting signed!

I don't really send to any of the big name stars anymore, so I'm not sure if there is a valid address. deeakay will see this message and respond shortly I'm sure.

He did sign via Zuffa in Las Vegas Nevada when he first retired but I sent there again and haven't gotten anything back. So just hold tight and see who responds. - I'm sure they can give you a good answer.

I know what it's like, I ship to the UK all the time because I'm trying to get something signed from the entire UFC roster. There are lots of European fighters!

Cheers
