John fought at UFC 52. It was weird to me when he got signed because he had lost 4 out of 5. The four he lost to? Josh Barnett, Jeremy Horn, Ricco Rodriguez and Vladimir Matyushenko. ...killers! Then he beat Cabbage Correira and boom, UFC calls. Good for John. He is still training and teaching at the gym above.

This wasn't TTM, but it's awesome and one half of the one of the coolest knockouts ever in the UFC.



Thanks Shayne!

Hey guys, I had a quick question, I'm going to be in Vegas for a wedding the week of UFC 187. I get in Sunday & unfortunately leave Thursday before all the good stuff happens, very disappointing, but nothing I can do.

My question is I'm going to the open workouts on Wednesday, but is there any tips you could please possibly give me as to how to possibly get autos/pics? Not even just at the open workouts, but just around Vegas that Tuesday or Wednesday? I have no idea how to go about it because I've never gotten to be in Vegas around the same time as fighters. I know some have had great IP successes in Vegas.

Any advice would be amazing & much appreciated. Thanks again!

Hey Randomone,

It'll be awesome for you then, so many fighters will be in town for that one since it's quite a big fight. Your best bet would be to follow as many fighters on the card on Twitter and find out what hotel they are staying at. Usually when the fight is at the MGM, they stay there - so you'll likely be good hanging out there in the hotel lobby. You'll see other 'graphers' around there so don't be afraid to ask if they have any insight.

Take your own sharpies. If you don't have time or money to print off 8x10's of the fighters you expect to see there, then take one big picture that you can create a collage on. Additionally, if the posters for the event are on sale around the time of the open workouts, you could buy one of those and have all of your favorite fighters sign that poster.

Best of luck.
Happy signing.

Phyteguru thanks so much for the advice, I'll definitely be sure to hang around the MGM. Hopefully a poster will be available, that'd be pretty cool to get signed, I'm going to bring some cards, hoping that'll work. Thanks again for the tips!
