UFC at The O2 Arena London

On the 7th June I went to the O2 Arena here in London and watched UFC 85 !
Yes I'm sure many of you are asking what on Earth is UFC right ?
Well it stands for The Ultimate Fighting Championships. Yes that's correct you didn't read incorrectly.
I have actually been a fan for many years and wanted to go and watch this event live. I understand this may seem a bit odd as not many woman like watching fighting or Boxing for example but I've always enjoyed watching the sport.
It was a great experience the venue was full and there was a great atmosphere, we even did the Mexican wave it was quite funny....
I was however very upset that the venue confiscated my digital camera. They argued that as it's not a standard 35mm camera it was considered professional equipement and held it for me in a locker. I was very upset about that !
I did manage to purchase a T-shirt but not exactly the sort of T-shirt I'll be wearing out, probably just to sweat in at the gym...but a nice little token to remember the evening.
The actual event was a little disappointing I have to admit unfortunately. There was quite a lot of fights and a fairly good line up, but the fights were all pretty uneventful.
The UFC is usually 3 x 3 minute rounds and the fighters can use various styles of fighting and the idea is to get the opponent to tap out, knock them out or it goes to the judges who score the fight on points.
Most of the fights on the evening went to the Judges for a decision.
All in all though it was a wonderful experience and it's great that I can say that I've been to The UFC.
