That was a great UFC card. Some quick KO's. I can't believe Marquart KO'd Maia so fast... I was ready for an all out war, but good for nate.

Nogs boxing is great... I can't believe he let go of that choke he had randy in, and also can't believe randy held on so long, and jumped up so fast when nog let up on the choke. I still think Brock is too dominant though... idk... That Duffee guy is pretty big, he's a solid 250lbs, i'm not sure how big carwin is off the top of my head.

I went to ufc 103 last night. My wife was a trooper and was pretty into it and stuck out the 6+ hours of fights and intermissions!

They said there were 17,500 people there. our seats were decent for being on the top level. We were 2nd row on the top section ($100 per ticket) would be cool to be able to afford $350 seats but that's just alot of money.

Could have used binoculars to be able to see all the fighters / celebrities in attendance. You could pick out Tito Ortiz because of his big head... and dana white because he's bald ^^ and also jenna jameson because she was with Tito.

Most of the fights were 1st round finishes, there was a cool submission and a couple good knock outs. Mirko cro cop had the loudest reception of the night but his fight ended strangely as he "verbally submitted" everybody was like... WTF!?

None of the fights that went the distance were amazing or anything. There were 13 fights all together though and all in all it was a good time.

I think it opened me up to the idea of flying out to other UFC events that have amazing cards.

Tons of drunken obnoxious people though. There were a few fights in the crowd, and one involved this 250 or so lb dude like... pushing this guy and falling on him down the stairs, like at least 6-7 rows.... kinda good that both guys got up ok because you could easily die w\ a huge guy landing on you on cement steps.

Oh man, that sounds like a fun time. It's great you got to attend the show, and even better that your wife didn't make it a crappy time. I guess you'll have to suck it up and do something she enjoys next? I'd have loved to have made the drive from Austin but oh well.

Here in Austin it was almost impossible to see the show at a sports bar because they were showing the Texas/Tech game and it lasted until 10:30. I'd imagine some even showed the Mayweather/Marquez fight rather than the UFC show.

The prelim fights on Spike were all really entertaining.
