Yeah I will try and get some photos you wont see on MMAJunkie since the wife will not be there.
I might grab her camera on the way out the door.
If I hurry back then I can beat her home, download the pics and erase them and she will be none the wiser. :0074
MMA Record (since UFC 58)
---------------------------------------------
Prop Bet 37-49
Fighter vs. Fighter 219-340
Parlays 97-150
-.99 Joe Rogans
Jorge Gurgel beat KJ Noons $3.30 (+230) *0.75 unit
Yes I know Gurgel isn't exactly the smartest MMA fighter in the world (he thinks he is Mike Tyson) but if he actually fights smart. A big IF, I think he has a shot against Noons. Worth a shot at +230.

Just called Toyota Center and they said I will be denied entrance with a professional camera. 
I don't even think I have a digital camera anymore. The wife dumped them when she went pro.
Looks like cell phone shots unless I grab a camera somewhere.

Record since start of 2009 39-25 +43.08 units
Opinions 3-4 +1.30(always .5 unit plays)
Jacare -230 1 unit
Opinion
Cavalcante +320 .5 unit
It's been a while since I've been on a fav like this but I'm a BIG fan of Jacare and his style of fighting. I think Kennedy is a good fighter but not at the same level as Jacare.
I have an opinion on Cavalcante because I think this line is too high. Lawal is good but he'll go down soon and I'm going to ride against him until he does.

Very disappointed because I could have taken a good camera in there. Many had them and nobody stopped them.
All I had was my crappy phone and it sucks even with editing. Feel like it was a wasted time for blowing good photo chance and then getting crap shots, but good time.

Now for the report:
The following guys were awesome:
KJ Noons talked to anyone and everyone and goofed around with kids. He was still standing around talking as they were kicking people out.
Daniel Cormier was very friendly taking pics and signing autographs until the end.
Jorge Gurgel was laughing it up with every single person and having a good time 5 feet from Noons.
Mayhem Miller was typical goof off talking and shaking hands with all.
And of course all the locals on the undercard were friendly and talking mainly for exposure.
Now for the other side:
Never saw anyone really being an ass other than one guy:
Herschel Walker was an ass and he was only there to promote the sport and I guess himself since he isn't on the card.
He would shake hands but usually waived people off when they wanted a photo with him.
He only signed a few autographs and bailed. He was not very talkative either.
Jimmy Lennon said the following guys would come out : King Mo who got the biggest cheers since he is from Dallas and Lennon said Lashley would come out.
Neither did. Disappointing...

The event was piss poor holding it in the tight concourse of the Toyota Center with the bright sun shining in the background.
This should have been held outside the building.
I could not get any good weign in shots with crappy phone.

Nothing captures my attention in terms of betting for this card.
Some decent fights and looking forward to seeing King Mo develop. The Souza/Kennedy fight is the one I'm looking forward to. Lashley and Cormier should win with little problems though I think Lashley will lose the first time he takes on a good fighter.
If Gurgel thinks takedown then the fight with KJ will be fun. If he continues to think he is Ernesto Hoost then he will lose

i guess he has a puncher`s chance(if lawal fights stupid) ,but i`m not a big feijao fan....
he CAN punch...he was getting the worst of it vs britt until he landed the big shot...and he lost to kyle....
i think renaldo/kennedy is a great.great match -up...i`m beginning to develop mad respect for kennedy...if souza clowns kennedy,he`s definitely the real deal...
