T and I are both UFC fans. Last night Cory, a guy that I graduated high school with, was fighting for a contract with the UFC for a company called Strikeforce at the Tacoma Dome. Cory got us tickets and most of our graduating class as well as the one before us and the one after. Apparently the ticket sales broke any other boxing, cage fighting, and kickboxing event that the Tacoma Dome as ever hosted and 2 thousand of those tickets were for Cory. There were ten fights of the night Cory being the second to last and the last fight of the night was Bob Sapp who starred as the big guy in The longest Yard. We had great seats thanks to Cory overlooking the cage. The first eight fights all went to decision (were the judges decided the winner) and were boring. When it came time to introduce Cory the whole crowd went crazy and was on there fight it was really amazing to see how many people were there for this one fight. When his opponent came out the crowd was quiet except for those few people who thought it was necessary to boo. Cory ended beating the guy 1 minute and 20 seconds into the first round by slamming him onto the ground and the guy tapped out (gave up). They ended up having to take the guy out of the ring on a stretcher. When Cory made his move the whole crowd went crazy! It was fun to see one of classmates dreams come true!
