The Nod - who from BE is heading to UFC 100 & the Fan Expo?

by VikingPhotography on Jul 3, 2009 3:40 PM EDT

Okay, here's the deal; my editors at ESPN have approved me as the photographer in the slot for UFC 100; I'm also covering the fan expo for a European magazine and they're particularly interested in capturing the vibrance and atmosphere of the show.

Soooooo - in the finest tradition of european photojournalism, I'll be hunting around for those unique fans with stories to tell about their passion for all things UFC - and should there be anyone here on the BE community that is "larger than life" well, make yourself known to me in this post :)

<EDIT / UPDATE> I think there's been a general misinterpretation of what I meant by "Larger than Life"; I was meaning something like an Uberfan... you know - UFC and MMA being a core part of your daily life and everyone knows it from the way you look, dress, talk about it, style yourself (hair / tatts etc.) and so on... :)

6’1" – 340 lbs. Yeah, I’m larger than life! I’ll be in attendance in both the fight and on Friday only for the Expo. See you there Viking!

I’ll be at the expo on friday and UFC 100. I think this guy above me might be my twin, because I’m 6’2" and 310 lbs.

The Atkins diet is a beautiful thing – I was 6’3 265 lbs in high school and lost 50 pounds in six weeks.

I'll be there

It’s my anniversary/good luck in Iraq present. I leave the first of august, but I’m on leave right now. My wife wants to remind me to keep working on my ground game in the sandbox and thought (correctly) that ufc 100 would be motivating. Also I’m large, but no where near these guys, 6’1" 215.
