My Pics from UFC 103 in Dallas, 9/19/09

[dpotter]

We had 5th row seats on the floor. What we didn't know until we got there was we were about 10 feet from the "elite" section where fighters and stars were seated. Anytime someone would come over for a pic I just walked over with my buddies, we got some great shots. We were about 15 feet from the cage. The one shot we didn't get that would have been awesome was when Kos jumped onto the top rail of the cage right in front of us after his win.

The view from our seats, Franklin and Belfort:

Hermes needed a stool after he got KO'd:

Me with Tito Ortiz, he was really cool:

Punkass from TapouT (I laughed so hard when I saw him with the double birds, he was double barrell all night):

Dana White was cool too:

Here I am with Josh Burkman, he's funny as hell (and got robbed in the split decision with Mike Swick):

Also, as stated in the other thread, we were sitting right behind Herschel Walker all night. Herschel was very cool and great to everyone all night, even 1 special drunk dumbass who just wouldn't leave him alone. I was intrigued by him taking notes in the program guide about the fights and wondered why he was there. Well, it was announced today that he's signed with AKA:

ALL of the people were a blast and very friendly, it was truly awesome and I look forward to my next UFC adventure. Just do it, you won't regret it. More pics later, the fun ones.

Haha...Nice! Looks like a good time! I hope to get to one soon, but for now hi-def pay per view will have to do.:)

How did you get those seats? How did you get so many pictures with the fighters and Dana?

I went to UFC 53 in Atlantic City, it was much more affordable back then.

[dpotter]

eBay on the tickets, local guy right here in Frisco. If you'll notice in the last pic above where Tito and Jenna are sitting is the reserved section for VIP's. There was a little barrier (look low in that pic) and guards to keep people from entering but that pic is from our seats with no zoom. When someone would walk by we would walk over and get a pic. The one with Josh, I was getting a beer and we stood there BS'ing with him for several minutes (back of the floor section beertender). Bought him a couple of beers. Also, when Herschel Walker is sitting in front of you taking pics and signing autographs all night you can meet a lot of people. It was a BLAST and every single one of the guys I met was very nice.

[Mike M]

Can I ask how much you paid for the seats?

[dpotter]

They weren't cheap but it was worth it, PM'd you the details.

Awesome I love UFC.
