Have you heard of UFC (Ultimate Fighting Competition)? Well, something interesting happened to me today concerning this. I was at the Atlanta airport during my layover and I guy asked me to watch his stuff (i know you're not supposed to do that, but i did it). Anyway, he comes back and thanks me, shakes my hand, and tells me his name. Ok, no big deal. Then he asks, "Do you watch any fights on tv?" And I said, "Yeah, like UFC?" Then the guy shows me a few videos of fights he has on his laptop. I realize that it's him in the fights!

So, this guy is training to become an ultimate fighter. He's just come back from a fight in Brazil (he won). And has traveled other places to fight too. He also faught/sparred with Tito Ortez in college. And his trainer fights on UFC. Now he's going to Biloxi to condition with his trainer until his next fight. In the next year or so he's going to be on "Ultimate Fighter", the series on Spike Tv that is about guys competing for a title with the UFC. Pretty cool!

Well, that's not all. Marcus doesn't know the area and doesn't know anyone in the area yet. So, he gave me the address to the gym where they train and told me to come by and hang out, even train with them (obviously not at their level, and he said I wouldn't be sparring either). So, I invited him to 25 cent beer night at Slippery Nick's on Wednesday. He should be there. Man, of all the people to meet at the airport.
