went to my very first fight last night in san jose, was really expecting it to be kind of douchey but was pleasantly surprised. it wasn't a huge card, some guys were fighting for the first time professionally and the crowd was primarily made up of fighters from various gyms and their family and friends, to be honest it had more of the feel of a college wrestling match. three of the guys that were with our group were fighting and two of them won, darren actually won his fight by submission in 58 seconds into the first round. frank shamrock and cung le were there promoting their upcoming match as well. it was probably the most fun i've had in a long time.
after we headed back up to the city and headed to the tenderloin and spent the remainder of the night at whiskey thieves drinking. most of the crew stuck around including the owner of my trainer's gym and his trainer bunkerd faphimai a former thai national champion. after last call we all staggered over to a japanese restaurant owned by one of the guys and drank until around 4:30am, at that point i realized i couldn't hang with these guys and stumbled home.
