The TapOut film crew was there filming their reality show and exciting fans who crowded into a venue which was at capacity. The "Hot Squad" girls were there giving the crowd some eye candy in between weigh-ins, and might I say doing a fine job.  

We had the pleasure of meeting Jeff Sherwood from Sherdog.com. Who allowed us to pick his brain for information. We would like to give a special thanks to Al Joslin and Shelly Matlock of purecombatmma.com for welcoming us to the event.
