Ugh. I really detest these UFC events held in London. It’s just doesn’t seem civilized to be watching fights at noon.
It also means the drinking started at noon and after polishing a bottle of wine and a jug of some vodka/fruit concoction, we were all spread eagled around the entertainment room of my friend’s place. After a feast of perogies, pakoras, spinach dip and apple cobbler it didn’t get any prettier.
The plans of going dirt biking and quading after watching the fights faded quickly as we could barely lift ourselves of the couches.
In a sad turn, Canadian Jason Day simply turtled up during Michael Bisping’s torrent of blows. To be fair, Day stepped up to fight Bisping on short notice after the original opponent was out due to an injury.
Ouch. Two in a row for Matt Hughes. Thiago Alves didn’t give Hughes any room to breath with an impressive knock-out after an endless flurry of strikes.
After the fights, I headed out to the 40th birthday party of stuntman and MMA fighter Paul Lazenby at The New Bohemian. All you fight enthusiasts may recognize Paul as the colour commentator for many MMA events, he’s known as the Joe Rogan of the now-defunct Bodog Fight.
Apparently Paul raided Steven Segal’s closet prior to arriving at the party. Nevermind the pink bag 
My gift to Paul was a Xtreme Couture, Georges St. Pierre t-shirt. Gotta support our fellow Canadian fighters!
At the party we hooked up with Ty Olsson, who plays Captain Aaron Kelly on the popular television series Battlestar Galactica.
The strangest part of the night was getting pulled over in an apparent roadside drinking driving road block. Wisely, I had stopped drinking about an hour before leaving, but after consuming nine vodka/red bulls, I assumed there would be some alcohol in my system. I blew a zero. Weird. Then they took a cotton swab of my saliva as a sample for study and asked me to fill out a survey. As a reward I received a $10 gas coupon. Like I said, strange.
Captain Kelly was lucky and breezed by as I was pulled over, he owes me now. Once free from the road block we met up at the Blarneystone in Vancouver’s Gastown district. We re-enacted some scenes from the ship’s rec room with some green alcoholic beverages. And well, the rest is The End

That’s what I’m talking about.
Actually, the bar I work at didn’t get busy until the replay later on.
I had a friend how doesn’t speak much English get pulled over last weekend. The cop asked him how many beers he had, he replied 40, the cop asked him how many shots he had, he replied 7. His numbers need some work.
All the cop did was told him to go straight home, very strange also…
Did this UFC event only have two fights or are you just giving a half-assed effort? And that wasn’t nice calling that cop a zero.
Ouch. You had two days to come up with a witty reply and this is the best you could come up with?
Like your metabolism, marriage has slowed you down Derek
But I only read your site once a month now.
And while you’re right that marriage has slowed me down, the weekend and the discovery of a hacked blog resulted in me just getting to this post today.
LOL, that’s pretty good no matter what Leo says
Sure wish I could party like that!
I was watching Battlestart Galactica for the first time last night, but didn’t spy any tattooed pilots…
I have unofficially added the word “frack” to my vocabulary

Raided his closet? I thought that was Steven Segal.
Maybe it was a fake and they’ve taken a saliva sample for DNA. Watch out for clones.
Everything pink here are good…The bag and also the thong
Bisping will never lose overseas.. remember when he got his ass handed to him by Matt Hamill?… such a bogus fight.
