Unfortunately I just found out about this.
Now the only seats left available are $225, so I shan’t be attending. Shame.

We went to another live Ring of Fire mixed martial arts event at the Broomfield Event Center last night.
Here are a few notes:
- We were part of the posse for the wife of the main event title holder, Eliot “The Fire” Marshall, by way of a friend-of-a-friend relationship. This turned out to be both awesome and stressful. Can’t beat the seats.
- Bossman and I made $1 bets on each bout with the loser picking the next fight. I lost $4-5.
- There were three female fights on this card. They were scrappers, too. I think the “Karate Hottie” should have to change her name since she lost.
- Most of the fights didn’t make it past the first round. One that went the full distance ended up 29-27, 27-29, 28-28. In Colorado, though, the 28-28 judge has to actually pick a winner… Weird.
- I’m still tickled that Brothers BBQ caters the “VIP” tables. They also do a pork sandwich toss (in which the ring sluts and some Brothers folks literally throw pork sandwiches in paper bags into the audience). Awesome.
This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of taking in the Ring of Fire 29: Aftershock mixed martial arts fighting event at the Broomfield Events Center. As I mentioned before, this followed after taking my company founder (I’m not supposed to treat him like “the boss”…) out to roller derby last month. As it turns out, his wife is friends with the wife of the local fighter who was the main event of the night. This fact would turn out add both interest and stress to the night for her.
I don’t have the wherewithal to run down all of my observations from the night, but the fights leading up to the two big fights were enjoyable. The results are available for those who care. A few highlights:
- There was one premature stoppage. Dude got clocked but was defending himself “intelligently” by the time he landed on his back.
- One of the referees looked like The Wife’s brother in a couple decades. No worries, he was a handsome devil.
- The crowd was… Wow. Now that I think about it, it should have been what I expected.
Which brings me to the two big fights of the night, both in the 205lb weight class.
- Ruby and Rails are weird. I like it.
- Kurt Vonnegut is no more. I believe the thing to say here is “So it goes.”
- We’ve got a doozy of a snow storm coming. It’s April…
- I talked my boss into meeting me at the roller derby match last weekend. In return, he may be taking me to a mixed martial arts fight on the 28th. This is good.
- I’m completely done with WoW now. Be proud, people.
- Fish is back in town after traveling the world. I’m itching for a new tattoo.
There’s plenty going on these days, but that’s all I can think of to share at the moment.
Cool! Looks like I have someone to root for on this season of The Ultimate Fighter.
Granted, I only go to my boy Fish at Th’Ink Tank these days, but I’ve heard good things about Twisted Sol.
A belated happy 64th to Muhammad Ali.
